Comment on How to remove smell from lunch box?

  If the item is brand new but it’s been sitting unused for years too? Or is this a thing related to use? How can I know the pan I just bought hasn’t been stocked for more than six months?

    From my understanding it’s about use. The non-stick coating will start to flake off, and you don’t want to eat the stuff.

    Using metal utensils on non-stick pans is a terrible idea for this exact reason as well- they’re really hard on the coating.

    Here’s a more detailed explanation:

    As a human being, I tend to eat everyday.

    Sure I have my diet days and take-out days.

    But as a general rule of thumb if you use up the pan about 3 to 4 days of the week, then you need to change it every 6 months.
