  6. The reason Lecithin is added to cooking sprays is to emulsify the fat in the oil (i.e. add water) so the water will turn into steam which is what prevents proteins from sticking pans. Butter, also an emulsified fat, works the same way.

    The trick with stainless cookware is to first coat it with a very thin layer of high smoke point oil like avocado as the pan is heating to seal up the pores in the metal then add the butter when the pan is around 240° F, hot enough to turn the water to steam but not so hot it boils off too quickly before the eggs, pancake batter, etc. is placed on top of the butter.

    It's surprising what a good cleaning will do… right?!
    I use vinegar/h²o/dawn det in a spray bottle on cookware and other things. Workes well. Little elbow grease helps, too. All PRIOR to using the cookware again!
    Or baking soda in hot water. Soak a bit, then scrub with dawn… it works!

  21. I lost my favorite waffle iron because I had been using nonstick cooking spray on it 😢 the aerosol spray has a propellant that breaks down the nonstick coating on the waffle iron plates. All of the sudden I started seeing little black flecks in my waffles, which turned into little black chips- of nonstick coating! RIP Belgian waffle iron 😭 lesson learned! Only use melted butter or oil brushed on with a pastry brush!

  25. I made pancakes in my favorite non-stick pan and decided to brush it with a little oil instead of spraying it with cooking spray.
    I was very surprised with how much better they turned out!
    I’m thinking it was the fact that it was just a little more oil, but glad to hear I’m treating my favorite non-stick pan better!

    Always such great info!!

  27. The truth matters, when it comes to nonstick skillets or frypans is that they’re only nonstick for a short period of time. Regardless of the ones that I’ve purchased, whether they be inexpensive or more expensive, they all no matter how you treat them and no matter how careful you are to make sure you don’t use any wrong utensil, they still end up with food sticking. I’m glad I don’t have to cook for a family or I’d be buying new pans every couple months.

  30. I did this on my ceramic nonstick sauce pan and fry pan unfortunately. And I didn't realize that the spray oil was building up. I found that heating up Dr. Pepper soda or a cola soda seemed to help take off the residue. After heating the soda, empty the pan and use a rough paper towel to rub on the partially wet surface. The residue came off partially. I returned some of the heated soda into the pan and repeated rubbing the surface with a new paper towel. Supposedly, sodas contain phosphoric acid in it. This might be what's loosening the residue when heated. I just heat the soda to 175°F but it's probably okay to use a higher temperature.
