Delicate ingredients such as eggs or fish with fragile skin may require some practice. The right kitchen utensils can help when cooking with stainless steel and nonstick pans.
Handwashing is recommended to preserve appearance and performance, although the pans are dishwasher safe. Burnt-on food can be removed by soaking or simmering water in the pan. Scratches and marks may develop over time but do not affect use.
- Handwash to help extend service life
- Allow the pan to cool before cleaning
- Use a soft brush or sponge
- Soak to loosen burnt-on food
