How To Easily Clean Your Stainless Steel Pans

NEWS

Stainless steel pans can be challenging to clean, but as long as you have dish soap and vinegar, you can bring these pans back to life even with stuck-on stains.
To remove harsh food stains, add a little dish soap and warm water to the pan and heat it over the stove to a simmer. Then, use a scraping tool to scrape the stains off.
From there, let the pan cool and wash it as usual with soapy water to finish the process. Then, add a little vinegar to a pan and wipe it with a sponge to remove discoloration.
If you notice water stains on your pan, add a mixture of one part vinegar to three parts water to the pan, bring it to a boil, then dump it and scrub the pan with soap and water.
