Cookware features and specific care instructions vary between most brands, however we have put together some general care instructions for your non-stick cookware:
Cook on a medium heat Most non-stick cookware is made for low to medium heat cooking. Using high heat can wear down or blister the non-stick finish. To maintain your non-stick cookware and increase its lifespan, follow the manufacturers instructions regarding recommended temperatures and suitable heat sources.
Avoid using spray oils The layer of oil that is applied by using spray oil is so thin, that it burns at a very low temperature. This creates a residue that can potentially damage the non-stick properties of your cookware.
Hand wash your non-stick cookware In general, dishwasher detergents can be too harsh for non-stick cookware and may eventually lead to the non-stick surface wearing off. We recommend you hand wash your non-stick cookware and dry completely before storing. Always check the manufacturers washing instructions for full details.
Keep your non-stick cookware clean For consistent quality and performance, ensure your non-stick cookware is washed properly after each use. Any food residue or leftover grease may cook into the surface and carbonise, compromising the non-stick properties of the cookware.
Good quality cookware is designed with the latest technology and features to ensure superior performance and durability. With some extra TLC, you can help your cookware last a lifetime! Matchbox recommends treating your cookware gently when using, washing and storing.
