Tip of the Week

Found these tips in Food&Wine Magazine and I just had to share. Non-stick pans are among our best sellers, especially Le Creuset's line. So here are a few tips to help to make the most of your best pans.

Nonstick Do's and Don'ts

Use Plastic

The first rule of nonstick: Pick plastic or wooden tools, never metal

Season Pans

Periodically rub oil on cool pans to maintain the non-stick coating.

Go for Heft

Heavy pans are less likely to overheat than flimsy ones.

Shun Scratches

Eating flakes of coating can be harmful. Toss out scratched skillets

Avoid High Heat

High heat (from the broiler, for example) can damage coatings.

Pay for Quality

Great pans can last for years--they're a smart investment.
