While stainless steel cookware offers many advantages, there are some precautions to take during use to avoid potential damage to the cookware or your health due to improper handling.
Avoid prolonged dry heating: Stainless steel cookware should not be dry-heated, as this causes a rapid increase in temperature, which can damage the cookware and potentially release harmful substances such as those found in the coating.
Clean promptly: Clean the cookware promptly after use to prevent food residue from accumulating on the surface. This helps prevent bacterial growth and maintains the cookware's shiny appearance.
Use appropriate cooking tools: Avoid using hard tools such as metal spatulas, as these can easily scratch the cookware surface. Soft tools such as wooden or silicone spatulas are recommended.
