    OK. 1. Is a non-stick pan suitable for long-term stewing?

    It is not suitable for long-term stewing, because the surface layer of the non-stick pan has a layer of coating, and these coatings will easily fall off under long-term high temperature conditions, thus affecting the service life of the non-stick pan.

    2. What are the contraindications for the use of non-stick pans.

    1. To avoid dry boiling, be sure to use oil when using a non-stick pan. If you don't put oil, the temperature of the pot will suddenly rise, and the Teflon inside.

    The coating naturally becomes unstable and can even lead to cracking. As a result, high temperatures have a direct impact on non-stick pans, and the coating is prone to peeling off.

    2. Avoid hot pan cold washingMany people are accustomed to washing the pan immediately after stir-frying, although it is a good habit, but it is not suitable for non-stick pans. A non-stick pan is composed of two parts, one is the body of the pot and the other is the inner tank, which expands and contracts according to the heat.

    The principle is that when cold, it is easy to cause the pot body to be separated from the inner tank after heating. Try waiting for the pot to cool down before washing it with cold water, or it is also a good idea to wash it with warm water before the pot cools.

    3. Also avoid using cleaning tools that are too rough. The material of a non-stick pan will be weaker than that of a regular metal pan, so it cannot be cleaned with steel wool like an iron pan. Cleaning tools that are too hard can easily damage the coating of the pan, and it is better to choose some soft strips of cloth when cleaning non-stick pans.

    4. Avoid placing it in a humid place, mainly because the service life of the non-stick pan is shorter than that of other pots, and if you want to prolong its service life, you must pay more attention to cleaning to avoid damage.

    No. Because the leftovers left over from the non-stick pan are easy to breed bacteria and harmful substances to the body, the longer they are placed, the worse it is.

    Non-stick pans overcome all the shortcomings of traditional pans, are easy to clean, and dry with a light wipe. The non-stick pan can easily fry and fry food without sticking to the bottom, which can minimize the use of oil, and the kitchen is clean and less fumes. It can also help reduce fat intake, in line with the modern trend of low-fat, low-calorie consumption.

    Do not use non-stick pans to store food, e.g. put leftovers in the refrigerator.

    Food should be served out and then placed in the refrigerator.

    What are the ways to preserve food?

    1.Cryostorage.

    Cryopreservation can inhibit the reproduction of organisms and slow down the rate of food spoilage, but it cannot completely kill microorganisms. When storing at low temperatures, it is important to pay attention to temperature control, generally speaking, the lower the temperature, the longer the storage time.

    2.High temperature sterilization.

    Food is processed at high temperatures to kill most bacteria and enzymes. If it is treated with airtight, vacuum and rapid cooling, it can effectively delay the spoilage of food and prolong the storage time. For example, we often drink bagged pure milk, beer, pasteurized milk, etc.

    3.Dehydration and drying.

    Dehydration and drying is to reduce the moisture in the food below a certain limit, so that microorganisms are not easy to grow and reproduce, and the activity of enzymes will be inhibited. Common methods of dehydration in the home are sun drying, shade drying, heating evaporation, or freeze drying, among others. It's worth reminding that sun exposure, while the simplest method, also loses the most vitamins.

    4.Increases osmotic pressure.

    The name may seem difficult to understand, but most people have used it before. For example, marinating food with salt or sugar. When the concentration of salt is 8%-10%, it can inhibit the reproduction of most microorganisms, but it cannot completely kill it.

    To kill microorganisms, the concentration of salt should be controlled at 15%-20%; The sugar concentration of candied food should be controlled at 60%-65% to inhibit the reproduction of microorganisms. When storing, you should pay attention to sealing and moisture-proof, common candied foods are preserved fruits, candied fruits and jams, and so on.

    I don't think a non-stick pan can hold food for a long time, because a non-stick pan, if you put food for a long time, it will also cause food to deteriorate, unlike a refrigerator, which can keep food from the invasion of bacteria, and a non-stick pan can only store food for a short time.

    A non-stick pan can store vegetables or soup overnight, but from a health point of view, it is not possible, and the reason why the non-stick pan is not stick is because of the layer of paint called "Teflon" at the bottom of the pot.

    This substance is a general term for fluoropolymers, including polytetrafluoroethylene, polyperfluoroethylene propylene and various fluorine-containing copolymers, because these compounds have the advantages of high temperature resistance, low temperature, self-lubrication, chemical stability, etc., so they are widely used in non-stick cookware, waterproof and breathable materials (such as waterproof clothing), leather, automobile parts, and microwave popcorn bags.

    It depends on the dish being cooked. The cooking of general dishes is fine, but many dishes that need to be fried, such as fried chicken wings, fried pork ribs, etc., during the frying process, the oil is always piping hot and the temperature is very high, which can easily lead to the decomposition of harmful ingredients in the non-stick pan, which can affect health. At the same time, experts also remind that using a non-stick pan to fry vegetables, do not use a shovel, which will accelerate the destruction of the non-stick coating and is likely to release substances that are harmful to the human body.

    Because the main raw material of non-stick pans - ammonium perfluorooctanoate. According to China's environmental chemistry experts, ammonium perfluorooctanoate is an artificially manufactured fluorine-containing polymeric acid, due to its high stability, it is not easy to adhere to food and as a necessary production material for non-stick pan coating, this non-stick coating is actually a layer of film, the thickness is about millimeters, if the dry burning or oil temperature reaches more than 300 degrees Celsius, this film may be damaged. This in turn affects health.

    It is generally recommended to use imported or domestic brand iron pots for cooking.

    Can the raw materials used in the production of non-stick coatings cause deformities and cancer? In addition to PTFE itself, some of the safety concerns about Teflon nonstick pans come from perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a processing aid used in its production.

    There are also non-stick pots on the market that are specially used to cook soup, but if you want to use a non-stick soup pot to cook porridge, the porridge will have to be stewed for a lot longer and will not rot easily, so you need to cover the lid and cook slowly over low heat. It should be noted that when using sharp and hard bone ingredients, such as pork ribs, large bones, crabs, etc., after the ingredients are put into the pot, be very careful not to damage the coating of the non-stick soup pot.

    Precautions for the use of non-stick pans:

    1. Avoid dry burning. When using a non-stick skillet, be sure to avoid dry boiling oil. If you don't put oil, the temperature inside the pan will rise suddenly, and the Teflon inside the coating will rise.

    It can become unstable or even decompose. Therefore, the high temperature will have a direct effect on the non-stick pan, and it is easy for the coating to fall off.

    2. Avoid cold washing in a hot pan. Many people are used to washing the pan immediately after stir-frying, and although this is a good habit, it is not very suitable for nonstick pans. A non-stick pan is made up of two parts, one is the body and the other is the coating, which expands and contracts according to the heat.

    Principle, it is easy to cause the separation of the pot body and the coating when it is cold after heating. Try to wait until the pot has cooled before cleaning it with cold water, or it is also a good idea to wash the pot with lukewarm water before it gets cold.

    3. Do not clean the tool too hard. The material of the non-stick pan will be more fragile than the general metal pan, so you can't use steel wool balls to clean like the iron pan, too hard cleaning tools are easy to damage the coating, try to choose soft cloth strips when cleaning the non-stick pan.

    4. Avoid wet storage. The life cycle of non-stick pans is shorter than that of other pans, so in order to prolong the service life of non-stick pans, it is necessary to pay more attention to cleaning every day to prevent additional damage.

    In recent years, many businesses are selling non-stick pans, and the emergence of non-stick pans has also brought great convenience to many people's lives. In the past, when people were cooking meat or stir-frying, they would accidentally burn, and when frying fish, they would not be able to pick off the wall of the pan, which was very troublesome. So the non-stick pan has been trusted by many people as soon as it came out, so why can the non-stick pan not stick to food?

    The reason why non-stick pans can not stick to food is that the surface of non-stick pans is covered with a layer of paint, which is applied to the surface of the pan, so it is not easy to stick to other sticky substances, and even after sticking, it is very easy to remove. This coating has the characteristics of anti-stick because the surface energy of the coating is very low, and the coefficient of friction is also very good, and it is very easy to slide. Many businesses will use this paint to make electrical or cooking kitchenware, as well as automobile, machinery, chemical and other industry supplies.

    The non-stick pans sold on the market now, no matter what form they appear in, or no matter which country they are produced in, the main material is Teflon, and if it is high-end, it may also participate in some antioxidants and stabilizers to improve the high temperature resistance of the pot, but the ingredients in it are indispensable Teflon. Although when we cook in daily life, the maximum temperature will not exceed 180 degrees, but if the surface coating will be decomposed a little under friction heating, so if you want a non-stick pan with a long life, you must not use it for frying, especially for barbecue or pizza can only be used to stew porridge, which can also minimize the harm to the human body.

    If you buy a non-stick pan at home, try not to make acidic food when stir-frying with a non-stick pan, and control the heat when stir-frying, do not fry at low temperature, and the food should not be stewed for a long time. When cleaning the non-stick pan, try to use a soft cloth or sponge to clean, and try to use a wooden spatula or silicone spatula when stir-frying, because once the coating comes off, replace a non-stick pan immediately.

    It is because there is a polymer material called PTFE in this pot, and it is because of this material that our food does not stick to the pan.

    The reason why the non-stick pan is not stick is all due to the layer of paint called "Teflon" at the bottom of the pan.

    Non-stick pans cannot be used to make acidic foods, except for the temperature limit below 250 degrees.

    I guess you're brushing hard with a cleaning ball, right? This will wipe that layer of paint off.

    Maintenance non-stick pan: 1. Before using it for the first time, tear off the label, rinse it with water and wipe it dry, apply a thin layer of cooking oil (except butter and lard) for maintenance, and then clean it before use. 2. Use heat-resistant nylon, plastic or wooden spatulas when cooking, and avoid sharp spatulas or metal utensils from damaging the surface of the non-stick pan.

    3. Non-stick kitchenware has uniform heat transfer, and only needs to use medium to low heat to cook delicious food. When using high heat, there must be food or water in the pot. 4. After use, the temperature must be slightly lowered, and then washed with water, not immediately washed with cold water.

    In case of stubborn stains, you can use hot water and dish soap to clean with a sponge, and do not use a rough abrasive cloth or metal ball to scrub vigorously.

    When stir-frying or cooking rice in an ordinary iron pot, it is common for the food to be stuck to the bottom of the pot. And when cooking food in a non-stick pan, there is no such trouble. This "specific" function of the non-stick pan relies on a polymer material called PTFE.

    Teflon, which is what people call Teflon. On the inner surface of an ordinary iron pan, a layer of PTFE is coated to make it a non-stick pan. PTFE is composed of two elements, fluorine and carbon, and its molecular weight is particularly large, more than 10 times that of general polymers.

    Inside the PTFE molecule, the carbon atom and the fluorine atom are particularly tightly combined, the chemical properties are very stable, and ordinary acids and alkalis do not have any effect on it at all, even if it is boiled in the most corrosive aqua regia, no change will occur. Therefore, if you apply PTFE to the bottom of the pan, not only can oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc. not help it, but also the bottom will not stick when frying food.

    However, PTFE also has a drawback: at temperatures above 250, it decomposes and releases toxic substances. So when using a non-stick pan, in order to protect the Teflon layer on the pan, do not put the non-stick pan on the stove to boil.

    Also, when cleaning nonstick pans, don't use a stiff brush to avoid scratches or scratches on the PTFE coating.
