4. Cookware with non-stick coating
This may seem counterintuitive, as non-stick pans are designed to be easy to clean, but they are not dishwasher safe.
Harsh detergents and high temperatures damage nonstick coatings (such as PTFE or Teflon), causing them to peel and lose their effectiveness. This accelerates wear, meaning you’ll need to replace your expensive pans much sooner.
How to care for them: Hand wash with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners, such as steel wool. Always allow the pan to cool completely before washing to prevent cracking. Although some newer ceramic pans are advertised as dishwasher safe, hand washing will always extend their lifespan.
