The Hidden Cost Of Cheap Non-Stick PTFE Flaking
Cheap non-stick PTFE flaking can make a budget pan more expensive over time. Low-cost non-stick pans often use thinner metal and weaker coatings, so they may scratch, peel, or lose performance quickly. Once the surface flakes, food starts sticking, cooking becomes uneven, and the pan usually needs replacing. High heat, metal utensils, abrasive cleaning, and dishwasher use can make the problem worse. For better value, use non-stick pans gently and replace them when the coating bubbles, peels, or flakes. Stainless steel, cast iron, or carbon steel may last longer.
