Spotting white dots on your stainless steel cookware?
It seems like residue from stuck-on starch. Cleaning with Vinegar: Mix equal parts of water and vinegar in the pot or pan and let it simmer for a few minutes. Then, scrub the affected areas with a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry completely.
Discoloured stainless steel cookware?
Start by soaking your pot or pan with hot water and soap. Then, wipe it down with a sponge. Now, use some stainless steel cleaner and give it a good scrub until the pan looks great again. Finish by rinsing and drying it completely.
Burnt pan?
