How to Care for Your Stainless Steel Saucepan

Proper care helps maintain the cookware's appearance and performance for years to come.

1. Heat Gradually: Use low to medium heat for most everyday cooking.

2. Avoid Overheating: Do not leave an empty saucepan over high heat for extended periods.

3. Use Appropriate Utensils: Metal utensils are suitable for uncoated stainless steel, although softer utensils can help preserve the finish.

4. Allow to Cool: Let the saucepan cool before washing.

5. Clean Gently: Use warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge or non-scratch cleaning pad.

6. Restore the Finish: A stainless steel-compatible cleaner, such as Bar Keepers Friend, may help remove discoloration when used according to its instructions.

7. Dry Thoroughly: Dry after cleaning to help prevent water spots.

Although dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to preserve the cookware's appearance.
