How To Clean A Stainless Steel Pan?

Let the pan cool completely.

Wash with warm water and dish soap using a soft sponge or non-scratch scrubber.

For light residue, scrub gently in circular motions.

Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a clean towel.

For stuck-on food, soak in warm, soapy water 15–30 minutes, then scrub.

For stubborn spots, simmer water in the pan 5–10 minutes, then scrub.

Use baking soda paste (baking soda + a little water) on stained areas, scrub gently, then rinse.

For heavy discoloration or burnt-on buildup, use a stainless steel cleaner or a non-scratch cleaner made for stainless steel.

Avoid steel wool, harsh abrasives, and chlorine-based cleaners.

Remove water spots by rinsing, then drying with a microfiber cloth.

If you see “rainbow” discoloration, use a stainless steel cleaner and buff with the grain.

Store the pan dry to prevent new spotting.
