Resurfacing a Non-Stick Pan

Non-stick pans are nearly ubiquitous in home kitchens, as they enable food to be cooked with less additional oil or fat. This type of cookware is coated with a durable non-stick surface; over time, however, the surface can wear off. Instead of purchasing a new and expensive non-stick pan, consider resurfacing it with non-stick surface repair spray, which you can find at most kitchen supply stores.
