Restoring Non-Stick Cookware
Q I seem to remember watching a cooking program on a cable channel years ago. the host was introducing a segment about restoring the "non-stick" to non-stick cookware. The phone rang and I missed the rest of the show. I never saw or read anything since about restoring non-stick pans,etc. I've always believed it couldn't be done. True or false and if false how to do it?
A. Can tell you what they recommend before it gets to that point, is to every so often, wipe the non-stick surface with cooking oil on a paper towel. There is some stuff that Presto recommended to me for my non-stick skillet that was sticking right above where the coil underneath was located. Unfortunately can't remember the name, but it is in the cleaning sections in the supermarket in a little green container.
get you two good cast iron skillets and a cast iron pot. this is all the cooking and bakeware you'll need for a lifetime and can pass it down to your great-great-great-great-grandchildren. you'll never be anemic, food will taste great, and it's easy as pie to keep clean.
you bake pies, cakes and bread in them. you make soups in them -- do do everything in them. if you must, use spray non-stick, or use oil.
clean with WATER ONLY and a scrubby. no soap. oil and salt once a year to perk them up. period. throw out that non-stick stuff or regret it when you're diagnosed from all those little flecks that turned up in your body after you swallowed them. learn what great food tastes like and use cast iron.
