STAINLESS STEEL SAUCE PAN WITH TRIPLY BASE SIZE 14/2750ML

1. Preparation

Before you use your stainless steel pans for the first time, wash it properly in warm soapy water with a little vinegar to remove any oil that could be left over during the manufacturing process.

2. Cleaning

For daily cleaning, all you need is dishwashing soap and a soft cloth. That’s it. Just wait for the cookware to return to normal temperature and wash it. And don’t use metal scrubbers, steel wool or abrasive cleaners to remove stuck-on food bits. Rather, soak the pan in warm soapy water, then try to scrub away the debris. You can use baking soda to keep your stainless steel looking sleek and shiny.

3. Maintaining

Here are some tips and tricks that will help you treasure, cherish and maintain your cookware for ages :

1. Avoid cutting or carving in your stainless steel cookware as it can scratch.
2. Don’t expose your cookware to very high heat as this will cause discoloration.
3. Don’t add oil in a cold pan as this might burn the oil and leave a black residue.
4. Always preheat the pan before adding the oil to avoid food from sticking to the surface.
5. Don’t put salt in the water before it has boiled as this can lead to pitting.
6. Allow your cookware to cool down before cleaning. If you place a hot pan in cold water this can cause the metal to warp.

4. Not all stainless steel pans are equal:

Though outwardly they all might look similar, but a lot depends and is differentiated by the material that has been used. A high-quality stainless steel cookware will be completely nickel free with a thick aluminium core. Stainless steel doesn’t conduct heat well, therefore, needs the support of another material with high thermal conductivity to balance this lacking. A premium stainless steel cookware comes in triply design or has an aluminium encapsulated base.
