Care Of Pans

Looking after your pans

Stainless steel pans

Stainless steel pans should be cleaned with a soft cloth and soapy water.

Appearance of white marks:

Cause: salt added to cold water.

Solution: add salt when the water boils.

Appearance of specks:

Cause: hard water.

Solution: boil diluted vinegar in the pan, then rinse and dry.

Burned food stuck to the bottom of the pan: Cause: temperature too high.

Solution: leave the pan to soak, or boil soapy water in it (1 part washing-up liquid to 10 parts of water).

Cast iron pans

Cast iron pans should only be cleaned with a sponge or nylon brush or a non-abrasive washing-up product. Wipe with a little vinegar to regain the pan’s shine. This also works for colour-enamelled cast iron. For “matt black” items, use vinegar instead of bleach, then oil carefully and wipe with kitchen roll.
