Has “non-stick” spray made your life sticky?

Have “non-stick” products put your bakeware in a sticky situation?

When using a non-stick pan and your recipe calls for non-stick spray or coating, it is best to not use cooking spray on a non-stick pan. By using the cooking spray on a non-stick pan the spray acts like a glue property. The spray sticks to the non-stick coating on the pan which causes all types of food to stick and creates baked on, hard to get off gunk. The non-stick spray is actually not generated for high-heat use. We do not recommend soaking bakeware pans because it promotes rust.

If you must use some type of extra help for the non-stick purpose try using shortening and flour. Directions: spread shortening inside of pan with a paper towel, be sure to wipe excess out. Sprinkle with flour, shaking pan and rotating around until the flour is covering the inside of the pan and turn upside down over sink to tap excess out.

For cleaning instructions: just use warm soapy water, nothing abrasive, rinse and be sure to wipe pan dry. Do not store while wet or damp.

Grease blockage causes sewage spill in Long Beach

LONG BEACH – The spill that leaked 12,000 gallons of raw sewage into Spinnaker Bay near Marine Stadium Saturday was caused by grease blockage in a sewer pipe, Long Beach Water Department officials said today.

Four Alamitos Bay beaches – Mother’s Beach, Marine Stadium, Colorado Lagoon and Alamitos Bay – remained closed today while the Health Department tests the water quality.

A backed-up sewage line caused raw sewage to flow from a manhole at the corner of Bellflower Boulevard and Eliot Street directly into Spinnaker Bay late Saturday morning. The actual blockage in the sewer occurred at Loynes Drive and Pacific Coast Highway.

Water Department spokesman Ryan Alsop said grease buildup is a major cause of sewage spills in the city.
