Common mistake

One of the most common mistakes is overheating pots and pans. Overheating can damage the non-stick coating, cause the utensil to warp and even alter the taste of the food.

Common mistake

Using metal utensils on nonstick surfaces is a common mistake that can cause scratches and damage the coating, making the pan less effective and more difficult to clean.

How to avoid it?
