In almost all cases, sticking is due to stubborn food and oil residue. Try cleaning them with a baking soda solution.

Steps: Fill the pan with hot water and add a couple of tablespoons of dishwasher detergent. Let it soak for several hours or overnight. Scrub the pan with a non-abrasive sponge and rinse well. If the above methods don't work, consider using a commercial cleaner designed for non-stick cookware.
White vinegar is an excellent solution for salvaging burnt non-stick pans. Once the pan has cooled, pour in a generous glug of white vinegar, along with enough warm water to cover the burnt areas. Stir in two tablespoons of baking soda, heat the mixture up, and bring it to a boil for a couple of minutes.

If you want to fry in oil, we recommend using olive or rapeseed oil. These oils have a high content of unsaturated fats, making them particularly suitable for frying because they don't burn on the surface. Heat the pan on a low heat, as this will better retain the coating's nonstick effect.
While most non stick pans will develop light discoloration over time—especially if the surface of your pan is a light color—deep, dark discoloration is a sure sign that your pan's coating is wearing out.
Simply rub off as much as possible with a rough sponge, wash off in hot water and let it dry completely. Then add oil to the pan and season until it starts to smoke. Wipe off the excess oil after cooling down to create a new natural nonstick surface. Your pan is as good as new again.
