I have non-stick cookware, mostly because it was cheaper than stainless when I moved out. I cook very gently, typically on low heat, but very long. I also use oil in my non-stick which I know isn't super necessary for most of what I use my small skillet for (eggs, sausage, maybe rice), but it's how I was raised because I didn't grow up with good proper non-stick, and also, it helps eggs cook a little better and more evenly.

Anyways, all this as background to some more background: it's about a year old now, and it's a 29.99 set from Walmart, so its getting some damage and things are sticking, but I use oil.

In the process, since I cook somewhat low, very long, and with oil in the pan, some oil burns to the pan. It's normal. Most of it comes off, because it's non-stick, but some of it sticks to the material itself. Without a highly basic soap, it won't come off.

So...I have seasoned non-stick.
