A Cooking Instructor Reveals 5 Foods You Should Never Put in a Nonstick Pan

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-21 04:00:05

Nonstick cookware serves a purpose in the kitchen, but it shouldn't be your go-to pan for every task. When used incorrectly, nonstick surfaces can ruin dishes by preventing proper browning and searing of meats and vegetables. Certain foods can also compromise the coating, reducing the pan's durability and potentially contaminating your meals with flaking nonstick material. As much as we love the easy cleanup, most foods fare better in a stainless-steel, carbon-steel, or cast-iron skillet. I tur
