1. Use the right fat
This isn’t exactly a cleaning tip, but using the right fat will ensure easy cleanup later on. Reach for oils that have a high smoke point — avocado oil (520℉), peanut oil (450℉), and sunflower oil (440℉) are all excellent choices.
Fats like olive oil (320℉) and butter (302℉) have low smoke points and are easier to burn, reducing the effectiveness of your nonstick cookware — creating more sticky grease and burnt oil to wash off after dinner.
