How to clean your frying pans
A good pan can be a trusted companion in the kitchen for many years, as long as you take proper care of it. Part of that care involves cleaning the pan correctly. However, removing dirt from certain types of pans can sometimes be tricky. At Eva Solo, you’ll find both pots and pans with Slip-Let® non-stick coating, which makes cleaning your cookware much easier.
Are you already dealing with burnt food stuck to the pan? Don’t worry. Read on to find out how to clean your pan effectively.
Avoid difficult cleaning with non-stick pans
Once the kitchen is filled with smoke and the exhaust fan is running full blast, you might end up with burnt food residues. It can be challenging to remove grease and grime from the surface of your pan. This is where the coating plays an important role.
If you choose pans with a Slip-Let® non-stick coating, you’ll find both the cooking and cleaning of your pan much easier. They are designed so you can cook with less butter, oil, and other fats, and they’re also easy to clean after use.
While our Slip-Let®️ non-stick pans can be cleaned in the dishwasher, we recommend handwashing because it extends the lifespan of the non-stick coatings.
How to Clean Your Pan Depending on Its Coating
It’s straightforward to keep the outside of a pan clean. However, when it comes to the pan’s coating, you need to pay attention to how you approach the cleaning process. Pans and pots with a Slip-Let® coating can be cleaned with just a few drops of dish soap.
When it comes to cast iron, you need to be more careful with the cleaning. As a rule, cast iron does not tolerate dish soap or any kind of detergent, but since our cast iron pots are enameled, they can easily be cleaned with warm water and soap.
Easy pan cleaning
If the bottom of your frying pan still shows signs of cooking, there’s often an easy solution. You can clean the surface of your frying pan with these four simple steps:
- Add a couple of tablespoons of dish soap or a dishwasher tablet to the pan, and pour water over it.
- Bring the water to a boil over moderate heat.
- Turn off the heat after a few minutes and let the pan sit with the soapy water overnight if possible.
- Wash the pan as usual with regular dish soap and a soft brush.
When cleaning pans, it’s also important not to leave food remnants in the pan for too long. The acid from the food can, over time, penetrate the coating and reduce the pan’s lifespan. If you take good care of your pans, they can last for many years.

Is It Time for a Replacement?
All pans with a non-stick coating will eventually need to be replaced, as the coating has an expected lifespan of around 5 years. If you're looking for a new frying pan, you can check out our bestsellers below.
