Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your stainless steel hotel pan.

• Cleaning: The pan is dishwasher safe. For hand washing, use warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can scratch the surface.
• Drying: Dry immediately after washing to prevent water spots and maintain the mirror-polished finish.
• Stain Removal: For stubborn food residues, soak the pan in warm soapy water before cleaning. For mineral deposits or discoloration, a solution of vinegar and water can be used, followed by thorough rinsing.
• Storage: Store in a dry place. Pans are stackable for efficient storage.

Troubleshooting

• Water Spots/Discoloration: This is typically due to mineral deposits from water. Clean with a vinegar solution (1 part vinegar to 3 parts water) and dry thoroughly.
• Food Sticking: Ensure proper cooking temperatures and consider using a light coating of oil or non-stick spray for certain foods, though stainless steel is not inherently non-stick.
• Scratches: Avoid using metal utensils or abrasive cleaning pads to prevent scratching the mirror-polished surface. Scratches are cosmetic and do not affect performance.
