Nonstick pans are specially designed cookware that makes cooking and cleaning easier. They are coated with a material, often Teflon, that prevents food from sticking to the surface. This feature allows you to cook with less oil or butter, making meals healthier and reducing cleanup time. Nonstick pans are great for cooking delicate foods like eggs and pancakes, as they slide right off the surface. However, it's important to use nonstick pans carefully to maintain their coating. Avoid using metal utensils, as they can scratch the surface. Instead, opt for silicone or wooden utensils. With proper care, nonstick pans can last for years, making them a valuable addition to any kitchen.
