Heat Tint

Straw-colored or slightly darkened areas may appear on stainless steel in and around ovens and ranges where temperatures reach 500°F (260°C) or more. This "heat tint" is caused by a slight oxidation of the stainless steel and is not harmful.

To control or minimize this condition, never use more heat than is absolutely necessary.

Heat tint can be removed by scouring vigorously with stainless steel wool and a paste made of scouring powder. Remember to rub in the direction of the polish lines.

Commercial heat tint remover products may also be used.

Precautions

When scraping off heavy deposits of grease or oil from stainless steel equipment, never use ordinary steel scrapers and knives. Particles of ordinary steel may become embedded in, or lodge on, the surface of the stainless steel. These will rust, causing unsightly stains and possible contamination of food. Where it is necessary to scrape, use stainless steel, wood, plastic or rubber tools.
