There’s nothing more beautiful than the spotless, gleaming stainless in our kitchen. But with the daily wear and tear, the gleaming stainless equipment we haul from the showroom not so long time ago lost its luster. So, here are some practical tips in keeping your stainless gleaming and spotless.
Stainless Cookware
The Cookware
The Problem: Stains
The Fix: Excessive heat can cause permanent bluish stains in the stainless steel. To prevent this, avoid turning the heat too high when you are using stainless steel pot or pan. If you are using a gas burner, make sure that the bottom surface completely covers the flame so it doesn’t crawl up the side.
Stainless Counter
The Countertops
The Problem: Water Spots
The Fix: If you have stainless countertops, believe it or not, water is your worst enemy. Water can easily leave spots to it, so make sure to wipe the countertops with a clean, dry towel every time it gets wet. If the water mark stays, apply undiluted liquid dish detergent or clean the area with a soft cloth dipped in rubbing alcohol.
Stainless Flatware
The Flatware
The Problem: Pitting
The Fix: Acids and salts in food can pit stainless flatware, so rinse surface as soon as possible after use. Then machine-wash or hand-wash with detergent and hot water.
