I am confident that you understand how it feels when you cook with a pan and fail to wash it. The food coat on the pot looks irritating. However, Teflon Girdle is unique as its cleaning is much easier as it is the only cookware that a gecko does not stick on.

Here are some guidelines on how to clean your Teflon after every general use and make it look new.

First, you have to ascertain that there is no loose food on the surface of your Teflon griddle. Wait for the pan to cool down so that it may not hurt you on touching. After confirming that it is cool enough to be handled, remove any loose food on the pan by either using a plastic spatula or paper towel. In case the pan is somewhat hot, use a potholder to handle it. When removing any loose food, take precaution not to us meta utensils as you risk scrubbing off the Teflon’s layer.

Secondly, the pan should be put on your sink only when it is cold. The pan may either fit on the sink or fail depending on its size and the sink’s size. When cleaning your Teflon griddle, it would be better if you spin it as you run warm water on the sink faucet. It is worth noting that cleaning this pan is much easier when it is warm, however for safety when handling; you are recommended to wait until it cools.

Then clean the pan using either a soft nylon scrubber or a paper towel sprinkled with soap to clean the surface of the Teflon.

Make sure there is no Food Residue on Your Teflon Griddle.

Eliminating food residues on the Teflon pan is the second way of cleaning. In case your pan has an oily layer or some food particles, put a mixture of water and vinegar on the Teflon. The vinegar should make half a cup. Put the pan on a source of heat to warm the mixture of water and vinegar for at least five to ten minutes. As the mixture boils, the oily layer on the pan rises to the water surfaces hence making cleaning easier.

After you are satisfied that the oil layer has been eliminated, put off the source of heat and, with a paper towel, clean the oily surfaces. Take care when wiping with the paper towel because the water in the pan is hot and may burn you. Also, when collecting food residues, it would be better if you use a perforated plastic spoon that drains warm water.

Once done, put your pan in the sink, clean it with a lukewarm water rinse and later dry it.
