How to Fix a Nonstick Pan That's Peeling

Non-stick pans have a coating on the cooking surface that prevents food residue from sticking to the cookware. The coating may begin peeling or cracking through improper use which leads to a build-up of food residue on the bottom of the pan. Removing this residue will correct most peeling issues, and proper use of the pan from then on should prevent them from returning.
