The pan has lost its non-stick coating

Steps to Restore the Pan's Usability:

Thorough Cleaning:

Scrub the pan with a mixture of baking soda and dish soap to remove any residue or grease. Rinse and dry the pan completely.

Re-season the Pan:

Apply a thin layer of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil or flaxseed oil) across the surface. Heat the pan on low-medium heat for about 10-15 minutes until the oil bonds with the surface. Let it cool, then wipe off any excess oil with a paper towel.

Use Parchment Paper or Baking Paper:

When frying or cooking, place a piece of parchment paper at the bottom to prevent sticking.

Apply a Temporary Non-Stick Layer:

Mix salt and oil into a paste. Rub this mixture across the surface and heat the pan for a few minutes. This can create a temporary non-stick effect.

Upgrade to Non-Stick Spray:

Use a commercial non-stick cooking spray as an additional layer before cooking.
Tips for Long-Term Maintenance: Avoid using metal utensils that can scratch the surface. Never overheat the pan without food, as this can damage the surface further. Consider dedicating the pan for specific cooking methods, such as baking or roasting, where a non-stick surface is less critical.

If the pan is heavily damaged or poses health risks (due to flakes peeling off), it might be time to replace
