Stainless Steel Care Tips:

Although stainless steel cookware needs much less effort to maintain as compared coated cookware, here are some tips to help you take care of your cookware:

  • Cook on medium heat. This helps food stick less and also releases more easily from the stainless steel surface. 
  • When done with cooking, allow your pan to cool off before soaking. Soaking a hot pan can cause warping.
  • Once cooled, soak the pan with warm soapy water. When you are ready to clean it, food should wipe right off.
  • If your pan shows stains or a white deposit, wash with vinegar and water.
  • Do not let the pan soak for hours. It is possible to cause pitting. 
  • Do not store food, especially acidic foods (e.g. tomato-based), in your stainless steel pot.
