Can fat or grease be used when cooking with nonstick utensils?
A. Yes. Any type of solid shortening or cooking oil may be used when cooking with nonstick utensils. Except for eggs and baked goods with a high sugar content, no shortening or oil is needed to keep food from sticking. This is a definite advantage to people on low-fat diets. Another great way to grease your pans is to use a light Pam spray.
