My nonstick pot is not as nonstick?
I have a small set of nonstick pots I’ve had close to 10 years. I never hear them higher than 375* and that’s with food in them. One piece has been my favorite egg pan but it’s starting to stick a little. I used to own circulon years ago and my husband would use the spray oil on them. It builds up in the tiny grooves. I had to take them outside, pour a layer of ammonia and let soak. A toothbrush, several repeats of the ammonia disks and lots of elbow grease and I got the funk out and they were nonstick again. Ugh!!!
i haven’t tried the ammonia and soft brush on this one pan yet. There is a slight brownish cast in the middle if you turn the pan in the light just so. I’m not sure if it’s teflon. It’s certainly not the same stuff from 50 years ago. The brand is Ecolution, they otherwise all look like new. Thanks.

Hi, Jody. What are ammonia disks? I’ll be watching for any answers you get. I hate to lose a good pan☺️
Ammonia wash. Ammonia dose. Ammonia soak. This is a challenge! I noticed in my own post I had loose instead of lose. I fixed it. And in your second sentence it reads, I never hear, instead of I never heat. You could waste your whole day chasing auto correct! Ha ha. Yes, I use the same method you do on my waterless cookware, except I use vinegar. I use ammonia on glass, but the smell, even diluted, really gets to me, as in the bathroom. Jody, I hope you have a blessed day. Best wishes ☺️
You minored in chemistry? I made almost all As in college and Master’s. But in the one Chemistry class I broke two glass beakers and melted a big plastic test tube. The teacher told me if I would just stay home, and come back for the final, he would give me a C. I took it.
Klutz! ☺️
