Stainless steel appliances make the best cookware equipment, owing to the fact that it conducts, distributes and maintains heat well and also comes with a long shelf life. However, contrary to popular belief, these appliances are not truly stainless but with a little care and maintenance, discoloration, spots, and stains can be kept at bay. Then again, if you put in a little extra effort, you can seamlessly look after and clean this kind of cookware like a pro. Here are a few simple ways in which you can clean your cookware.<\/p>\n

Hard water stains<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your tap water possesses a high level of calcium content (that is hard water), you may begin to find chalky white residue on your cookware. To do away with this, fill the pot or pan with one part vinegar to three parts water. After you bring the mixture to a boil, take it off the heat and let it cool. Wash the cookware with soapy hot water and towel dry it.<\/p>\n

Tackling dry, stuck pieces of food<\/strong><\/p>\n

If scrubbing the pan with non-abrasive sponges and cleaners does not work, fill your stainless steel cookware with enough soapy water to submerge the dry bits. After you bring the water to a boil, scrape the stuck food gently with a spatula. After the water has cooled down, the dried bits come off easily when washed.<\/p>\n

When looking after discoloration<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stains that are embedded in the surface of the pan occur mainly because of overheating. While specialty non-abrasive cleaners designed to restore stainless steel should help you out with this, washing the pan with vinegar or cooking high acid foods such as tomato sauce can also work wonders.<\/p>\n
