Reviving Nonstick cookware - Works for me Wednesday

My biggest skillet that I use most everyday had lost most of its non-stick quality. When I cooked fajitas in it last week, they stuck so bad. I just let the pan soak all night because it was not coming clean at all and I was considering just throwing it away.
But it is an expensive pan and I really did not want to shop for another one.
That next morning, I read on one of Tracey McBride's blog about some different ways to care for non-stick cookware.
Several of the methods involved some type of oil/fat and heating the pans in the oven.
Well, it is so hot here, that I am not turning on my oven. So I just tried the oil part. Actually, I used plain white Crisco shortening. After I scrubbed that skillet clean, I wiped the entire cooking surface with just a dab of Crisco and and a paper towel and just left it to sit.
I cooked scrambled eggs in it on Saturday and they cooked so nice, with almost not sticking at all. The skillet just needed wiped with a wet dishcloth to remove the small portion of eggs that stuck.
So now, everytime I use that skillet, after it is clean, I wipe it with just a tiny bit of Crisco.

Thanks, Tracey, for the tip.
