Restoring a Pan Without Non-Stick CoatingSeason the Pan:\n

\n
What You Need:\u00a0Vegetable oil (or another cooking oil with a high smoke point)\u00a0Paper towel or soft cloth\u00a0Steps:\u00a0Clean the pan thoroughly with soap and water, removing any leftover debris or food particles.\u00a0Dry the pan completely.\u00a0Apply a thin layer of oil to the inside surface of the pan using a paper towel.\u00a0Heat the pan on medium heat for 5\u201310 minutes until the oil begins to smoke slightly.\u00a0Let it cool, then wipe off any excess oil.\u00a0Repeat this process 2\u20133 times to build up a natural non-stick layer.Use a Parchment Paper or Silicon Mat:\n
For tasks like frying or baking, lining the pan with parchment paper or using a silicone mat can prevent sticking without relying on the coating.Add a Natural Non-Stick Layer with Salt:\n
\n
What You Need:\u00a0Coarse salt\u00a0Paper towel\u00a0Steps:\u00a0Heat the pan on medium heat.\u00a0Add a thin layer of coarse salt and let it heat for a few minutes.\u00a0Use a paper towel to rub the salt around the surface (wear gloves to avoid burns).\u00a0Discard the salt and rinse the pan\u2014this technique smooths out minor scratches and improves stick resistance.Alternative: Use a Cooking Spray or Extra Oil:\n
Add a little more oil or a cooking spray before cooking to minimize sticking.\n
\n
Safety Considerations\u00a0Check for Damage:\u00a0If the pan shows signs of deep scratches or exposed metal, especially if it\u2019s made from aluminum, it might be safer to replace it due to potential health risks from leaching.\u00a0Avoid High Heat:\u00a0Without a non-stick coating, pans can get hotter faster, which may lead to food burning or sticking.\u00a0Do Not Overuse Damaged Pans:\u00a0Prolonged use of severely scratched pans may lead to ingestion of small particles, which is undesirable.\n
\n
When to Replace the Pan\u00a0If the non-stick coating is completely gone or flakes are coming off regularly, it might be time to invest in a new, high-quality pan.\u00a0Consider alternatives like stainless steel or cast iron, which are durable and naturally non-stick when maintained properly.\n
\n
