How to take care of your pots?

Do you know that most people buy new pots only two or three times during their whole life? We sometimes tend to buy a car more often than pots! This is why it’s worth investing in high-quality pots and enjoying their functionality for years to come and every time you cook. And if you invest money in high-quality cookware, you should also make sure you take care of your pots in a proper way. How to take care of your pots?

• always read the manufacturer’s instructions before the first use and make sure you don’t put your pots into a dishwasher if it’s not recommended,
• don’t use metal utensils that may scratch the surface of your pots, use wood or silicone kitchen utensils instead,
• avoid leaving dirty pots overnight or soaking them for a long time (especially stainless steel pots),
• if you want to get rid of stains on the surface of your stainless steel pots, clean them with a stainless steel cleaning product,
• avoid cleaning your ceramic-coated pots with steel wool,
• clean your iron pots immediately after using and don’t use soap because metal is porous and it can absorb the flavour of the chemicals,
• avoid temperature shock, don’t put hot pots into cold water, etc.,
• don’t cook acidic foods (like tomato) in cast-iron cookware,
• don't stack coated pots and pans on top of each other as this may cause scratching and chipping. Hang them on hooks or put them on their sides.
