Maintenance and Care

Cleaning

• Dry the stockpot thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots and maintain its luster.

Storage

Troubleshooting

Food Sticking

Discoloration

• Blue or rainbow discoloration can occur due to high heat. This is harmless and can often be removed with a stainless steel cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and water.
• White spots are typically mineral deposits from water. These can be removed by boiling a solution of water and vinegar in the pot, then washing and drying.
