How to Clean and Care for Triply Stainless Steel Cookware
Triply stainless steel is one of the easiest cookware types to look after, but a few simple habits keep it looking new for years. This guide covers daily cleaning, how to deal with burnt food and stains, and how to stop food from sticking in the first place.
In This Guide
Daily Cleaning
- Let the pan cool a little. Do not put a very hot pan under cold water, because the sudden change can warp the base.
- Wash with warm water, a soft sponge and mild dish soap.
- Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth to avoid water marks.
Triply cookware is generally dishwasher safe too, which makes cleanup simple. Check the product page for care instructions.
Burnt or Stuck On Food
- Fill the pan with water and a spoon of baking soda
- Bring it to a boil and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes
- Let it cool, then scrub gently with a soft scrubber
Avoid harsh metal scrapers on the inside, as they can leave scratches.
Stains, Rainbow Marks and Water Spots
| Problem | What It Is | What Helps |
|---|---|---|
| White or chalky spots | Mineral deposits from hard water | Wipe with a cloth dipped in white vinegar, then rinse and dry |
| Rainbow or bluish tint | Harmless heat discolouration | Rub with a little vinegar or lemon juice |
| Dull, greasy film | Oil residue | Wash in hot soapy water, dry well |
| Dark burnt patches | Overheated food | Baking soda paste and a soft scrub |
How to Stop Food From Sticking
- Preheat the pan on medium heat for a minute or two
- Add oil and let it warm for a few seconds
- Add the food and do not move it too early. It will release on its own when it has browned
- Avoid very high heat. Triply spreads heat evenly, so medium is usually enough
What to Avoid
- Harsh steel wool or abrasive powders on the surface
- Bleach or strong chemical cleaners
- Heating an empty pan on high heat for a long time
- Putting a very hot pan in cold water
