How do I clean stubborn burnt-on food?

Troubleshooting

Uneven Cooking

Ensure the pot is centered on the heat source and that the heat level is appropriate for the cooking task. Verify the heat source itself is functioning correctly.

Sticking Food

Preheat the pot adequately before adding ingredients. Use sufficient cooking oil or fat. Avoid high heat for prolonged periods without liquid.

Discoloration

Discoloration can occur from overheating or mineral deposits. Use a specialized stainless steel cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and water to remove stains. Ensure thorough drying after washing.

Water Spots

Dry the pot thoroughly immediately after washing. If spots persist, wipe with a soft cloth dampened with white vinegar and rinse.
