If your much-loved cookware has seen better days, and you’re wondering how to clean stainless steel pans to restore them to their original shine, rest assured that the process isn't all that complicated – as long as you're using the right method and tools for the job.
Stainless steel pans are fantastic for cooking almost anything, as they can conduct and retain heat brilliantly for a speedy cooking experience. However, their slightly more delicate surface can make them prone to visible water spots, burnt-on stains, and other marks. "Stainless steel is a long-lasting, durable material that can withstand high temperatures," Emma Lewis-Jones, product director at CookServeEnjoy explained. "But, unlike non-stick pans, stainless steel cookware can be prone to discoloration, and they take a bit more maintenance to keep in tip-top condition."
