other cookware can gradually dull or damage a nonstick surface. Older pans and those with existing scratches are particularly vulnerable.
How to Protect Nonstick Cookware
Allow the pan to cool before washing it. Placing a hot pan in cool water may cause thermal shock and contribute to warping.
Wash it gently with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft, nonabrasive sponge. Avoid steel wool, abrasive powders, and aggressive scrubbers.
If the manufacturer specifically states that the pan is dishwasher-safe, occasional dishwasher use may be acceptable. Hand washing, however, is generally the gentler option and may help extend the life
