Stainless steel pans are a popular choice for cooking as they are durable and versatile. However, despite their many benefits, food can often become stuck on the surface, leaving you with a mess. Learn how to clean stainless steel pans and keep your favorite cookware at its best.
Soak the pan in warm, soapy water for 10 to 15 minutes before cleaning. This will help loosen any stubborn food particles.
Make a paste in a small bowl with baking soda and water. Use a dish sponge and apply it to a stained or discolored area and let it sit for a few minutes.
Use a dish brush to scrub the paste into the pan's surface.
Rinse the pan thoroughly with warm water and dry it with a soft cloth or towel.
Notes
If you don’t have baking soda on hand, you can substitute cream of tartar.
