He stainless steel is prone to discoloration and to the burn marks, which is a shame because they are very shiny when bought new. However, if after repeated use your pans have marks, you can make them look like new. Obviously, the ideal is to prevent marks in the first place.
How to clean stains from stainless steel pans
- Avoid soaking them if possible, as the iron it contains in tap water can cause rust. So, it is best to use a scouring pad and kitchen soap after using your pot.
- Stainless steel is dishwasher safe. If you want to remove stains, it is best to do it by hand. To remove marks from your pots and pans, you need to use a special product for cleaning them.
- Clean your pans as soon as possible. The coating can absorb flavor, and if food is left out too long, everything else you cook afterwards will taste like that potent spice.
Another useful tip? For burnt food, sprinkle the surface generously with baking soda, add water and wait for it to boil. This will help loosen food particles from the surface.
