With This Simple Trick, You Can Make Any Pan Non-Stick and Save Money

Buying new non-stick pans every time the old ones wear out can get expensive. But here’s a little kitchen hack that will make your regular pan behave just like a non-stick — and it only takes a minute!

The Trick: Salt and Oil Seasoning

  1. Place your clean pan on medium heat.
  2. Sprinkle 2–3 tablespoons of salt evenly across the surface.
  3. Heat the salt for about 2–3 minutes, moving it around with a wooden spoon or spatula.
  4. Discard the salt and let the pan cool slightly.
  5. Add a teaspoon of cooking oil and rub it around with a paper towel to coat the surface.

And that’s it! Your pan will now act like a non-stick, making cooking eggs, pancakes, or stir-fried dishes much easier without sticking.
