1. How to wash a newly bought non-stick pan

First wash it with detergent, then fill it with water, sprinkle a little salt, soak it for 24 hours and it can be used.

Before using the non-stick pan you bought, you should first wash and dry it, and apply a thin layer of cooking oil on the surface of the pan to increase the non-stick effect.

When cooking food with a non-stick pan, it is advisable to use low or medium heat, and avoid high heat and dry cooking;

It is also not advisable to use a metal spatula, but a bamboo or wooden spatula should be used to avoid damaging the non-stick coating. After each use, do not rinse with cold water immediately. Wait until the temperature drops slightly before washing.

After using it for a period of time, if stains caused by residual food and grease accumulation appear, use hot water and detergent and a sponge or other soft material to clean it. Avoid scrubbing with steel wool or rough cloth.

1. Before cooking, wipe the water in the pot thoroughly, turn on the fire and add cooking oil, wait until the red point turns completely red before you start cooking;

2. It is recommended that the cooking temperature should not exceed 240°C to reduce the generation of oil smoke;
