We use nonstick skillets when we're cooking fish, eggs, and other delicate foods that are prone to sticking. We like both regular nonstick skillets coated with layers of a synthetic material that contains the chemical polytetrafluoroethylene (the most common brand name of which is Teflon) and ceramic nonstick skillets coated with a material derived from sand. They're incredibly useful, but their nonstick coatings can be easily damaged if you use the wrong tools or don't care for them properly. Here's how to keep your nonstick cookware looking and performing like new.
