Why is my Gotham Steel pan sticking?

Gotham steel pans are nonstick that are guaranteed for many years. But if you see foods sticking to your steel pan, you may have to change your cooking and cleaning practices.

The number one reason for your steel pan sticking is cooking in too much heat. Cooking in too much heat is bad for its materials. Cooking at a comparatively lower temperature will not slow down cooking.

The steel pans distribute heat evenly, so you do not have to overheat in order to cook. Using over a long time will create scratch marks which makes the steel pan sticky. Seasoning your steel pan after a while of use can increase its longevity.

This is inevitable in the long run; however, you can follow some steps to reduce the stickiness greatly. Boil two tablespoon baking soda solution on the steel pan for ten minutes and rinse it off.

If you are already seasoning your steel pan, re-season after this step. Slightly apply oil when it is at room temperature before using.

And if you have trouble cleaning off the food that got stuck, use cold water because hot water makes some food stickier.
