The pan has lost its non-stick coating

Upgrade to Non-Stick Spray:
Use a commercial non-stick cooking spray as an additional layer before cooking. Tips for Long-Term Maintenance: Avoid using metal utensils that can scratch the surface. Never overheat the pan without food, as this can damage the surface further. Consider dedicating the pan for specific cooking methods, such as baking or roasting, where a non-stick surface is less critical.

If the pan is heavily damaged or poses health risks (due to flakes peeling off), it might be time to replace
