If your non-stick surface is in good condition, this shouldn’t be a problem. However, even non-stick surfaces can be tricky to navigate sometimes. Here are some helpful tips: Ingredients should be at room temperature before cooking. Preheat your non-stick pan over medium heat or a couple of minutes before adding food. Make sure that the butter or oil is evenly distributed as the pan is heating. You can use a little bit of oil or butter with non-stick pans. Never cook in a bare pan. Add a couple of ingredients first and listen for a sizzle. If there is no sizzle, the pan isn’t hot enough, and you should wait a couple more minutes before adding food. Don't overcrowd the pan. Doing so causes a temperature drop, which can lead to foods sticking. If your pan isn’t performing as you expected, contact Calphalon for assistance.
