The faster you wash the dishes, the better – that's how you can avoid germs, bad smell, and stubborn dirt.
Meanwhile, you can't always wash a frying man quickly, and you can't scrub it because of the non-stick surface.
Here are a few tips on how to clean it safely and effectively.
Initial Soak
Start by filling the sink with warm water and adding a few drops of dish soap.
Submerge the dirty pan in the soapy water. Allow it to soak for 15-20 minutes. This step helps to loosen the stuck-on food.
Gentle Scrubbing
After soaking, take a soft sponge or cloth and gently scrub the pan. Focus on areas with stubborn residue.
Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or metal utensils that can scratch the non-stick coating.
Baking Soda Paste
For persistent stains, create a paste using baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the affected areas and let it sit for a few minutes.
Baking soda acts as a mild abrasive that aids in lifting off tough residues.
Delicate Scrubbing with Baking Soda
Using the soft side of a sponge, scrub the pan with the baking soda paste.
Work in circular motions to target specific spots. Take your time to ensure thorough cleaning.
Rinse and Inspect
Rinse the pan thoroughly with warm water to remove soap and baking soda residues.
Inspect the surface to make sure all debris has been removed.
Drying Process
Towel-dry the pan completely. Ensure there is no moisture left on the surface.
This helps prevent water spots and corrosion.
Assess Non-Stick Coating
Check the condition of the non-stick coating. If you notice any damage or wear, be cautious during future use to prevent further deterioration.
Optional Vinegar Rinse
For an extra cleaning boost, you can wipe the pan with a cloth soaked in white vinegar.
This helps neutralize any remaining baking soda and adds shine.
Apply Cooking Oil
To maintain the non-stick surface, apply a small amount of cooking oil using a paper towel.
Spread it evenly across the pan's interior.
