Kitchen Pots
Taking care of the pots and pans in one’s kitchen
is essential. Cookware is an investment and should be treated as such.
Many will skimp on cookware only to be disappointed by broken and rusting
pieces.
It is recommended to avoid using the dishwasher for most pots in the
kitchen. Dishwashers use chemicals that can break down the coatings
on the pans and the racks can cause scratching. Hand washing, as time
consuming as it is, pays off in the long run.
Most pans shouldn’t be scoured. Using abrasive cleaners on the
pots in the kitchen or using an abrasive pad will scratch non-stick
surfaces and comprises the integrity of the piece. Look for plastic
scrubbers or soft sponges; avoid “metal wool” scrubbers
as they cause the most damage.
