Never use a metal scrubber on non-stick pans. That scratches the coating, and your pan becomes a toxic dandruff machine. Use a nylon brush or a wooden spatula.
Don’t use bleach unless you want your pan to smell like a swimming pool that cried. It won’t remove burnt bits; it just makes them chemically angry.
And for the love of all that is crispy: don’t toss a cold pan into cold water. That’s how you warp your cookware. Let it cool naturally. Your pan has feelings, too.
