Upgrade to Non-Stick Spray:
Use a commercial non-stick cooking spray as an additional layer before cooking. Tips for Long-Term Maintenance: Avoid using metal utensils that can scratch the surface.

Consider dedicating the pan for specific cooking methods, such as baking or roasting, where a non-stick surface is less critical.

If the pan is heavily damaged or poses health risks (due to flakes peeling off), it might be time to replace
