Seasoning your pan is important and a well-seasoned pan has less of a chance to burn your food.

Much of the info I read suggested spraying your pans will only damage their finish over time. But the real issue with spray was in regards to the way it ultimately affects your pan.

There’s a lot of opinions on the topic of non-stick and it’s a debate that isn’t appropriate here on my blog. I have a set of stainless steel pots and pans as well as a few ceramic cookware pieces. Personally, in the past I’ve owned non-stick pans, but don’t have any now.

A decent percentage of people feel negatively about non-stick pans for cooking eggs – or anything really.

If you find your egg is burned on quite a bit more and you’re really struggling, I’ve heard good things about Bar Keepers Friend, and have used it myself in the past. After one more cleaning round, we were back in business… With minimal arm effort, quite a bit was removed. Then remove it from the stovetop and let it sit until warm enough for you to scrub, keeping the water mixture in the pan as your cleaning agent. It will foam and bubble, so add each tablespoon slowly… Once boiling, turn off the heat and add 2 tablespoons of baking soda. Put your pan on the stove over medium heat until it begins to boil… To start, add a layer of water to cover the bottom of your pan and add 1 cup of vinegar. I had two pans to clean, one was worse than the other.
