Quick Tips for Cooking in Ceramic Nonstick Cookware
1. Use Low to Medium Heat:
Ceramic pans are excellent heat conductors, so high heat is unnecessary and can damage the coating over time.
2. Avoid Metal Utensils:
Stick to wooden, silicone, or plastic abilities.
3. Avoid Cooking Sprays:
erosol sprays can leave a residue that builds up over time and affects the nonstick surface.
4. Hand Wash Only:
Use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge.
5. Let It Cool:
Never wash a hot pan; let it cool first.
How to clean
ceramic nonstick cookware
Step 1: Let the Pan Cool:
Allow the pan to cool completely before cleaning to prevent warping.
Step 2: Hand Wash Only:
Use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth.
Avoid abrasive scrubbers, steel wool, or harsh cleaning agents, as they can damage the ceramic coating.
Step 3: Remove Stubborn Stains:
For stuck-on food, soak the pan in warm, soapy water for 15-20 minutes before gently scrubbing.
For tougher stains, create a paste with baking soda and water, apply it to the stain, and gently scrub with a soft sponge.
Step 4: Dry Thoroughly:
Use a soft towel to dry the pan completely to prevent water spots or rust on any exposed metal parts.
Do’s
Use low to medium heat for cooking.
Hand wash with gentle soap and soft sponges.
Store with a protective liner if stacking pans.
Don’ts
Overheat the pan, as it can damage the coating.
Use metal utensils or abrasive pads.
Use aerosol cooking sprays, which can build up residue.
Method One:
How to restore a burnt pan with soap and water
Step 1: Let the Pan Cool:
Allow the pan to cool completely before cleaning to prevent warping.
Step 2: Rinse:
If food has been burnt on the surface of your pan, it’s likely dried out. As anyone who’s ever done the dishes knows, it’s impossible to clean when pieces of food have hardened on any surface. Simply letting the pan soak in hot water for 10 to 15 minutes will help solve this issue.
Step 3: Soap:
Once the pan has soaked, dump the water and add dish soap to both your dish sponge and the pan. The dish soap will help break down oil, grease, and pieces of burnt food.
Step 4: Sponge:
Using the rough side of your dish sponge, scrub the burnt areas of your pan clean. Steer clear of anything more abrasive, like chain mail, steel wool, or heavy-duty scrubbing brushes—these can scratch and damage the delicate coating on your pan.
Method Two:
How to restore a burnt pan with
Vinegar and Baking Soda
Step 1: Create the Mixture:
Create a slurry of white vinegar, water, and baking soda directly in your nonstick pan. Pour enough water to cover the bottom of the pan, along with 2 tablespoons of both white vinegar and baking soda.
Step 2: Boil:
Bring the above mixture to a boil and stir to dissolve using a silicone or Wooden Spoon. Continue stirring for 5 minutes to encourage any burnt residue to loosen.
Step 3: Sponge:
Allow the mixture to cool completely after boiling. Discard vinegar solution and rinse the pan with warm water and continue with steps two and three of the first method, above.
Frequently asked
 questions
1. Can I put my ceramic nonstick pan in the dishwasher?
It’s best to hand wash ceramic nonstick pans to extend their lifespan. Dishwashers can cause the coating to wear out faster, though some models are dishwasher-safe.
2. Why does food start sticking to my ceramic nonstick pan?
How to Fix It:
Clean the pan thoroughly with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge to remove residue.
Avoid high heat and use a small amount of oil when cooking.
If the coating is significantly worn or scratched, it may be time to replace the pan.
Proper care can help prevent sticking and extend the life of your pan!
3. Are ceramic pans safe for high-heat cooking?
Ceramic pans work best on low to medium heat. High heat can damage the nonstick coating and reduce the pan’s lifespan. If you need high heat, consider using a different type of cookware.
4. How do I remove discoloration or stains on my ceramic nonstick pan?
Soak the Pan: Fill the pan with warm, soapy water and let it soak for 15-20 minutes to loosen any residue.
Use Baking Soda Paste:
Mix baking soda with a little water to form a paste.
Apply the paste to the stained areas and gently scrub with a soft sponge or cloth.
Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
Try White Vinegar:
For tougher stains, mix equal parts white vinegar and water.
Heat the mixture in the pan on low for a few minutes, then let it cool.
Wash the pan with soapy water and rinse well.
Avoid Abrasive Cleaners: Never use steel wool, harsh scrubbers, or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the ceramic coating.
Prevention Tip: To avoid future discoloration, always cook on low to medium heat, avoid cooking sprays, and clean the pan thoroughly after each use.
If stains persist despite cleaning, it may be a sign of wear, and replacing the pan might be necessary.
5. Can I use metal utensils on my ceramic nonstick pan?
No, metal utensils can scratch and damage the ceramic coating. It’s best to use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to preserve the nonstick surface.
