Maintenance and Cleaning
- Dishwasher Safe: All items in this cookware set are dishwasher safe for convenient and easy cleaning.
- Hand Washing: For best results and to maintain the shine of your stainless steel, hand washing with warm soapy water and a soft sponge is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can scratch the surface.
- Stubborn Food Residues: For burnt-on food, soak the cookware in warm soapy water before cleaning. A paste of baking soda and water can also be used for gentle scrubbing.
- Drying: Always dry your cookware thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots and maintain its appearance.

Troubleshooting
- Discoloration/Tarnishing: Stainless steel can sometimes show blue or rainbow-like discoloration, especially if heated empty or exposed to high heat. This is typically harmless and can often be removed with a stainless steel cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and water.
- Food Sticking: Ensure you use enough cooking oil or fat. Preheat the pan properly before adding food. Avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lower the temperature and cause sticking.
- White Spots/Mineral Deposits: These can occur due to minerals in water or salt added to cold water. To remove, boil a solution of water and vinegar (1:1 ratio) in the pot, then wash and dry.
