Can you use green scouring pads on non-stick pans?
You should avoid using green scouring pads on non-stick pans. Here's why:
* Abrasive nature: Green scouring pads are designed to be abrasive, meaning they can scratch surfaces. This is great for removing stubborn stains, but it can easily damage the delicate coating of a non-stick pan.
* Damage to non-stick surface: Scratching the non-stick surface can cause food to stick more, making cooking a hassle and potentially even unsafe. Damaged non-stick pans can flake off particles that could be ingested.
* Reduced lifespan: Using abrasive pads will significantly shorten the lifespan of your non-stick pan.
Instead of green scouring pads, use gentler cleaning methods for non-stick pans:
* Soapy water and a soft sponge: This is the best way to clean most non-stick pans.
* Baking soda paste: Make a paste of baking soda and water for tougher stains.
* Wooden spoon: You can use a wooden spoon to loosen food stuck to the bottom of the pan.
Remember: Always check the manufacturer's instructions for your specific pan to ensure you're using the appropriate cleaning methods.
