No, it's perfect for non-stick. Just be careful to not use a lot, you just
want a light dusting, otherwise you get the crunchy feeling in the mouth.
Use it also for dusting dough that you are putting in baskets or linen to
rise, it gives great release. If you want the flour markings from the
basket, sprinkle the basket lightly with the rice flour then regular flour
over that. I use a small, fine mesh strainer to sprinkle the rice flour
evenly.
