What and how to cook with stainless steel
Cooking with stainless steel is an excellent option, as this material is durable, healthy, and perfect for high temperatures. There are some tips on how to cook and care for your stainless steel utensils:
- Temperature Control: It is essential to heat the pan or pot well before adding food. For frying, heat on high and then lower the temperature when adding the food. This helps prevent food from sticking.
- Use of Oil: You can use little oil, which is ideal for a healthy diet. Also, stainless steel better preserves the vitamins and nutrients of the food.
- Care and Maintenance: Wash your utensils with hot water and soap after each use. Avoid leaving food on them for a long time, as salt and other ingredients can leave stains. If stains appear, you can clean them with vinegar or baking soda.
- Avoid Contact with Cold Water: Do not put hot utensils in direct contact with cold water to avoid warping. Let them cool down first.
