No one tells you: This meat never goes in a non-stick pan
Non-stick pans are popular for their ease of use.
TL;DR
- Non-stick pans are ideal for low-oil cooking and prevent food from sticking.
- They are not suitable for high-temperature searing, such as for steaks, as the coating can degrade and release fumes.
- Using metal utensils can easily damage the non-stick surface.
- Steel or cast-iron pans are recommended for high-heat searing.
- Placing oil in a non-stick pan before it heats up can reduce its non-stick properties.
