Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Stuck, Unsaturated oils heated to excessive temperatures or reheated over and over oxidize and harden forming a hard coating with is the equivalent to varnish. If you don't wash your pans unsaturated oils can build up a coat of this varnish. Sometimes people wash only the inside of their pans and ignore the outside. It is usually the outside/bottom of the pan where this varnish generally forms. You can prevent this by using saturated fats in cooking, or washing both inside and outside of your pans after every use. You can also remove the hardened buildup with a scrubber. Dr. Fife's Non-Stick Cooking Oil, which contains lecithin, will not form this buildup. Dr. Fife's Non-Stick oil is available in your health food store or from www.simplycoconut.com. Bruce Re: [lists] VCO as moisturizer lecithin I am told will build up on your pans and eventually ruin your cookware? is this true? I have VERY expensive cookware so don't want to take a chance. Thanks for any insight S. --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.
