How do I protect my pan?

Using high heat When cooking on the stovetop, keep the heat at medium or lower to protect the pan’s nonstick surface. To avoid warping and safety concerns, check your owner’s manual before putting nonstick pans into the oven to see the maximum temperature advised (or if the pan should go in the oven at all).

Why do chefs not use non-stick pans?

Why do my eggs stick to my nonstick pan?

While the egg cooks, its proteins are forming chemical bonds with the metal of the pan. A nonstick coating interferes with this bonding, and so does adding fat like oil or butter to the pan before the eggs. The layer of fat gets between the pan and the eggs and prevents the proteins from sticking.

Is ceramic coating better than non stick?

The ceramic coating has better heat retention compared to the standard nonstick coating. It also has stronger heat-resistant properties, allowing you to use ceramic cookware at higher temperatures without the food staining the cookware. Compared to Teflon nonstick cookware, ceramic cookware is typically more expensive.

Do you have to grease the pan when using cupcake liners?

Why are my muffins stuck to the cases?

If there is too much batter in the case then it will rise up and over the edges of the case as the cupcake bakes and the edge of the case can become trapped in the edge of the cupcake, making it more difficult to remove the paper. Cupcake cases should be filled between half and two-thirds full of batter.

How do you remove a stuck muffin?

Is parchment paper the same as wax paper?

Parchment paper is coated with silicone to give it a nonstick, heat-resistant surface, and wax paper (or waxed paper) is—as the name suggests—coated with a soybean or paraffin wax. Because of this coating, wax paper is not meant for use in the oven—the wax coating on it will melt if the paper is exposed to direct heat.

Can you put parchment paper in the oven without a pan?

Yes, you can put parchment paper in the oven! It’s the silicone coating that makes parchment paper heat resistant and suitable for oven use. At higher temperatures, the parchment paper will brown. At excessive temperatures, it will scorch or burn, so I would avoid using it under the broiler.
