Brilio.net - There are various types of Teflon that can be used for cooking. Starting from Teflon granite, non-stick, to stainless steel.

How to store cut lemons.
Lemons have quite a sour taste, so you don't have to use a whole fruit for cooking. So, don't throw away the remaining lemon slices that haven't been used straight away, okay? Here are some ways to store cut lemons to keep them fresh and last longer.
1. Store in an airtight container.
Store lemon slices in an airtight container or ziplock bag to prevent air from entering and reducing the humidity level around them.
2. Wrap with plastic wrap.
Wrap the lemon slices in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to protect them from air and excess moisture.
3. Refrigeration.
Store lemon slices in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. Lemons can last longer in cooler temperatures.
4. Don't leave any skin.
If possible, cut off the zest from the lemon before storing. Lemon peel tends to make lemon slices go bad more quickly.
5. Pay attention to the condition of the piece.
Make sure there are no rotten or moldy parts on the lemon slices before storing. Contaminated cuts can accelerate the deterioration of other lemons.
6. Use for a short time.
Try to use the lemon slices for a short time to keep them fresh. Even with good storage, lemon slices will still degrade over time.
