FAQs
Can I use these on a hot stove?
No, these pads are for storage protection only and are not heat-resistant.
Are these dishwasher safe?
It is recommended to hand wash these pads to preserve the integrity of the non-woven fabric.
How many sizes are included?
The set includes three different sizes to accommodate a wide variety of cookware, from small saucepans to large stockpots.
Will these prevent rust?
Yes, the moisture-absorbing material helps keep your pans dry, which is a key factor in preventing surface rust on metal cookware.
Can I cut these to fit my pans?
Yes, the non-woven material is easy to trim using standard kitchen scissors.
Are they effective for glass bakeware?
Yes, they provide an excellent cushion to prevent glass-on-glass contact, which often leads to chipping.
Troubleshooting
Pads sliding too easily
Ensure the bottom of your pans are clean and free of grease; a clean surface allows the anti-slip material to grip better.
Pads are too large for specific bowls
Use sharp fabric or kitchen shears to trim the pads to the desired diameter.
Material showing signs of wear
Rotate the position of the pads within your stack to distribute pressure and wear evenly across the set.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your storage system, first clean your pots and pans thoroughly to remove any food debris. Place the largest pads in the base of your pots, and layer smaller pans or bowls on top, inserting the appropriate size divider between each layer. If the pads hang over the edges of your smaller pans, use standard kitchen scissors to trim the excess fabric for a tailored fit. To clean the pads, simply wipe them down with a damp cloth or hand wash in lukewarm water and lay them flat to air dry. Avoid using a tumble dryer or harsh chemicals, as this may degrade the non-woven material.
