Stainless steel cookware is very practical and convenient.
But in order for it not to lose its appearance and serve for a long time, it must be properly looked after and certain mistakes must be avoided.
How not to wash
It is strictly forbidden to use abrasive products to wash stainless steel.
Otherwise, the surface of the pan will lose its shine and scratches may appear on it.
It is also important to ensure that the cleaning agent does not contain alkali or acids.
Such dishes do not tolerate the use of metal sponges or brushes. After all, this can also lead to damage to the surface.
When using stainless steel cookware, avoid sudden temperature changes.
For example, you can’t pour cold water into a hot pan.
How to wash properly
Stainless steel dishes should be washed with a soft sponge using special products.
To remove grease and various stains, you can use baking soda.
In this case, it should be diluted with water to a paste state. Then apply it to the stain and leave for 20 minutes.
Then you need to carefully wipe with a soft sponge and rinse with water.
In addition, there is an effective method that helps remove old carbon deposits.
To do this, pour water into a saucepan and let it boil. Then add a couple of teaspoons of soda and salt and leave it for about an hour. Then wash the saucepan.
To remove white spots and stains on the surface, you can use a mixture of soda, water and lemon juice or vinegar.
Mix the ingredients until they form a paste and apply to the stains with a sponge.
