Think I ruined my non-stick pan.... any tips?

[JoNeS]

I was making chicken with minced garlic and a ton of the garlic ended up getting burnt to the bottom of the pan. I sprayed the pan with cooking spray first, so I don't know why it stuck. Anyways after letting the pan soak in hot soapy water, and scrubbing, a ton of the garlic is still caked to the bottom

ANy suggestions on how to remove the caked on garlic?

Throw it away.
once the nonstick surface gets hot enough it deteriorates
and starts coming off in your food.
Unless of course you'd like teflon in your bloodstream.

How long did you let it cook?

The only thing I would suggest is let it soak some more.

I second the "more soaking".

If you can't scape it off with a plastic utensil, then just get a new one. Unless you paid $50+ for the pan -- then just toss it....

This is it. Or put water in it and put it back on the stove and let the water boil for awhile.
