That is a bad idea as storage in the pan might gradually break the surface texture and this might also change the taste of your food when it is kept in the pan the entire night.
Cooking in extreme temperatures in a non-stick cookware might damage the wear and tear texture of the pan. So it is advised to heat in a low or medium temperature. Besides this, do not wash off with water soon after you remove the pan from the stove as that might create a dent on the surface of the pan if it is of low quality.
