Caring for Your Stainless Steel Cookware
Since 1949, we've been setting new standards for eco-friendly cookware with our PFAS-free ceramic coatings and natural-coated frying pans.
Use On Low to Medium Heat Only
Stovetop Agnostic
500°F Max Oven Heat
Handwash Only
Maintain the shine and performance of your stainless steel cookware.
1. Preheat Before Cooking
Always preheat the pan on low to medium heat before adding oil or food. This helps prevent food from sticking.
2. Avoid Right Heat
Stainless steel conducts heat well, so cooking on medium or low heat is sufficient. High heat can cause discoloration or warping.
3. Use the Right Utensils
Use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to avoid scratching the surface.
4. Dry Immediately & Avoid Harsh Chemicals
After washing, dry the cookware immediately with a soft towel to prevent water spots and maintain its shine. Do not use bleach or chlorine-based cleaners, as they can damage the stainless steel.
5. Store Properly
Stack cookware carefully to avoid scratches. Use a soft cloth or paper towel between pans if stacking is necessary.
How to Clean stainless steel cookware
Step 1: Daily Cleaning
Step 2: Removing Stuck-On Food
Step 3: Removing Water Spots
Step 4: Apply a Thin Layer of Oil
Do’s
Preheat your pan before adding oil to prevent sticking.
Clean with warm, soapy water after each use.
Use vinegar or baking soda for stubborn stains.
Dry the pan immediately after washing to avoid water spots.
Cook with low to medium heat for best results.
Dont’s
Use cooking sprays—they can leave a sticky residue.
Use steel wool or harsh scouring pads—they can scratch the surface.
Let acidic or salty foods sit for long periods—it can cause pitting.
Put a hot pan under cold water—it may warp.
Ignore discoloration - rainbow discoloration can be caused from overheating.
