While abrasive cleaners, brushes and scouring pads are available for cleaning cookware, nonstick cookware requires careful cleaning to avoid scratching the surface, which over time can chip off and is potentially unsafe to use. Nonstick pots and pans have a special Teflon coating that is ideal for easy clean-ups and does not require abrasive cleaning products if used according to the cookware's instructions. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Pour 1/2 cup of white vinegar into the nonstick pot or pan and fill with water.
2. Set the cookware on the stovetop and turn on the burner. Wait until the water and vinegar begin to boil and turn off the burner.
3. Pour out the liquid and dispense a teaspoon of liquid dishwashing soap onto the cookware.
4. Wet the cleaning pad and gently scrub the cookware's surface in a circular motion to remove residue.
5. Rinse the surface with cool water and place the pot or pan upside down on a dish rack to air dry.
