What is “non-stick”?
A “Non-stick” refers to a variety of coatings applied to cookware by manufacturers to endow their cookware with a surface that resists all sticking. Consequently, foods can be cooked without concern of sticking, and with little to no grease. Speedy and easy cleanup is also facilitated. The technologies used in the non-stick coatings vary between manufacturers. It is advised to not overheat non-stick cookware. Care must be taken to not damage the non-stick surface with utensils and knives. The non-stick coating’s life span may be reduced if the cookware is regularly overheated, harsh detergents and/or abrasives are used in cleaning, or if mechanical dishwashers are used.
