How to take care of your stainless steel cookware set?
Although steel cookware is one of the easiest to maintain, clean and long-lasting among all cookware, they are prone to damage if not maintained properly. Using abrasive scouring pads, wrong cleaners, and even salt water can steal its shine. Apart from these, if the method of using them is also rough, it increases wear and tear. That’s why it’s important to take regular care of your stainless steel cookware to remain bright and beautiful for years without any damage.

After years of experience in manufacturing quality stainless steel cookware sets, our in-house experienced team brings to you - The Top 9 Tips to Take Care of While Using Stainless Steel Cookware:

1. Your stainless steel cookware can withstand high temperatures and is also designed to be used in the oven. But make sure not to increase the temperature above 260°C.

2. Wash your stainless steel cookware only when it’s completely cooled down. Otherwise, the surface might develop cracks, also known as warping.

3. To avoid food sticking to your cookware surface, add oil after the cookware is heated. This will also save you the trouble of cleaning the residue later and help keep the surface as good as new for longer.

4. Always preheat your stainless steel cookware gradually so to avoid hot spots and potential damage to the cookware sets.

5. Always salt the water in your stainless steel pots after it’s come to a boil to avoid any build-up of rust, also known as pitting.

6. Avoid using chlorine on stainless steel. Ensure that you do not use cleaners that contain chloride.

7. Although stainless steel is sturdy and durable, it is always better to avoid steel scrubbers on its surface. These scrubbers are abrasive and can damage the surface of your stainless steel cookware easily. Use plastic scrubbers, brushes, or cloths for cleaning.

8. A clean rinse is very important. Gritty/salt water or rinsing solution can leave their scales and marks, leaving permanent stains on the utensils.

9. If severe burnt food remains on the vessel, pour in enough water and let it boil on low flame. Loosen and release the stuck food with a wooden spatula to avoid scratches. Once the food is removed, cool down the utensil and wash with soap and water before patting it dry.

Although cleaning stainless steel cookware can seem a bit overwhelming at times, their benefits of usage outweigh the occasional hassle of cleaning and maintenance. Also, always follow the stainless steel manufacturers instructions to avoid unnecessary damages!

Tips for buying stainless steel cookware

Sometimes, despite being careful and taking regular care of the steel utensils, it can result in browning and braising. How to avoid that? By making a note of the below points when buying stainless steel utensils:

1. Consider cladding materials.
2. Quality of stainless steel material.
3. Weight of the steel utensils.
4. Ergonomic Design.
5. A trustworthy Brand like Avias India.

Let's talk about these in detail:
1. While pure stainless steel utensils sound good, in practical usage, having an aluminum cladding (also called ‘ply’) on the base and sides will provide even heat distribution during cooking. This will keep the food fresh and warm for a longer time.

2. What is the quality of stainless steel? Avias has 304 grade 18/10 stainless steel cookware that contains 18% chromium and 10% nickel is considered very durable. They protect steel from stain and dust and give a neat glossy shine. Also, ideal for cooking and storing food purposes.

3. The weight of the steel utensil/pot. A good quality stainless steel cookware will be thicker and sturdy. It will not weld easily, unless bigger damage is done or if it isn’t taken care of properly.

4. Cool touch and easy-to-grip handles play a pivotal role. An ergonomic design with durable handles and lids makes cooking safe as it is easy to handle.

5. The most important aspect that is often ignored is buying from a trustworthy brand. The experience of the stainless steel utensils manufacturing company plays a crucial role. Often, this aspect is ignored because of cheap prices and freebies available, but in the long run, paying for quality products always yields returns with multiple benefits.
