My plastic spatula melted on my non-stick frying pan
+11
Ok...I am at a loss. I have this really nice frying pan...non-stick....which of course I love but...while I was frying a cheese sandwich one day, I noticed my plastic....meant for non-stick surfaces....spatula was leaving smears on my pan. It was MELTING to the surface of the pan. I would just touch the pan....it would leave a mark.
I have tried everything I could think of to get these marks off my pan but, nothing has worked. Have heated the pan to the highest heat I could and tried wiping the marks off....still there....tried scrubbing with a non-abrasive cleaner....still there. Any ideas?

Try making a paste with bar keepers friend and water. Leave on long enough to remove the residue. You can also try baking soda mixed into a paste with white vinegar and do the same.

I would contact both the fry pan and spatula manufacturers and ask their advice for removing the stains. If it is only a stain transfer and not actual silicone or plastic stuck in the pan and it still functions properly, go ahead and use the pan.

No....have not tried that. It won't hurt the surface of the pan?

1. Soak a soft cloth or paper towel with nail polish remover. Gently rub the melted plastic with nail polish remover to dissolve the melted plastic. Repeat as necessary until all of the plastic is removed. Thoroughly wash and rinse the pan before using it to cook food. 2. Add 1 tbsp. baking soda and enough water to cover the plastic to the pan. Heat the water to a simmer and continue heating until the plastic has loosened. Scrape the plastic off the pan with a wooden spoon or plastic spatula. Repeat as necessary until the plastic has been removed. Thoroughly wash and rinse the pan before using it to cook food. 3. Place the pan in the freezer until the plastic has frozen, making it brittle and easier to remove. Scrape the plastic with a wooden spoon or hard plastic spatula until it has all been removed. Repeat as necessary. Thoroughly wash and rinse the pan before using it to cook food.

Add a dryer sheet and some water.. Let it reach the boiling point and remove from heat.. Let it cool enough for you to wipe off all the plastic. Hope this helps save your pan..
