1. How to clean stainless steel cookware?
   While cooking with stainless steel utensils is one of the easiest among other cookware, it also happens to be THE easiest to clean and maintain as well. Here is a simple three-step guide to help you keep your pots and pans in pristine condition:

• Step 1:  Allow the cookware to cool down before you start cleaning it. While it is obviously for preventing any burns, it also ensures the stainless steel cookware does not have permanent warping.
• Step 2: Once your partner-in-curry has cooled down, scrub it with a non-abrasive pad or sponge. It is best to avoid steel wool pads as they can carve permanent scratches on the surface.
• Step 3: Once the hard food residues have let loose, rinse thoroughly. As soon as the rinsing process comes to an end, dry the stainless steel cookware with a soft towel to ensure no water spots are left and so that its shine can reflect your smile after a happy meal. 

Pro Tip: For stubborn stains, you can make a paste using baking soda and water. Apply the paste, let it sit for a few minutes, and then gently scrub it to watch your worries and adamant stains peel away. This solution to clean stainless steel cookware is a life hack you will use time and again. 

2. How to season stainless steel cookware?
   Seasoning is typically associated with cast iron cookware, but you can also season stainless steel kitchen sets to improve their non-stick properties. Here's how you can do it:

• Step 1:  Before seasoning, make sure your stainless steel cookware is clean and free of any food residues.
• Step 2:  Place your stainless steel pan or pot on the stove over low to medium heat. Allow it to heat up until it's hot to the touch.
• Step 3:  Add a small amount of oil to the heated cookware. You can use any oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable, sunflower, or sesame oil. Swirl the oil around to coat the entire interior of the cookware evenly.
• Step 4: Continue heating the stainless steel pan or pot until the oil begins to smoke. This indicates that the oil is bonding with the surface of the stainless steel.
• Step 5: Turn off the heat and allow the cookware to cool. Once it's cooled, use a paper towel to wipe away any excess oil.

Pro Tip: While making curries or one of your signature north Indian sabzi, taking a couple of minutes to season your stainless steel cookware can make the cleaning process post-meal as easy as waving a magic wand.
