But in reality, this type of spray can actually cause your cookware to lose its nonstick properties. The problem is residue. Soy lecithin, an additive used as an emulsifier in PAM and other nonstick sprays, can build up on the surface of your nonstick-coated cookware and appliances—not just pans, but also things like waffle makers or air fryer baskets. We’ve got advice on what you should do instead, how to take care of your nonstick pans, and when you might need to buy a new one.
