Cleaning your pans on a daily basis.
After your daily cooking, here are a few tips that you could use to make sure your pans remain clean and shiny
- Immediately after cooking, pour some hot water into the pan and put some dishwashing soap and let the water stand and cool down until its lukewarm. Using a sponge or any other soft clothing that you’d like, remove any visible food remains that might have stuck on the pan. Rinse the pan slowly and thoroughly and dry it using a piece of cloth. This will help prevent the irritating water spots.
- If you wish, you can use your dishwasher to clean your pans. However, make sure that the pan doesn’t have any food residues on them or any burnt particles, or any other residues that could prove stubborn.

Always pre heat the pan on low heat before adding any kind of foods on it. You can do this for a period of two to three minutes. To test, you can slightly tap the upper edge of the hot pan. However, you need to be careful with this to avoid burning your fingers. Just in case you feel the heat is too much, switch off the burner or remove the pan for a couple of minutes
Pour approximately 3 table spoon full of cooking oil. This however depends on the size of the pan. The amount of cooking oil should be reasonable and enough to cover the pans bottom and enough to make a swift sizzling sound. This is an indication that your food is cooking and that there is no sticking.
Don’t disturb food until its cooked to the necessary and correct extent. Basically, the sugars in the cooking food caramelize on the hot surface which gives food the sweet flavors and makes serving food off the hot surface much easier.
On placing food on the hot surface, listen to the sizzling sound. If it sounds like a crack, the pan is too hot and you risk having sticking.
For frying, simmering and braising, it’s advisable that you use low to medium type of heat.
Generally, pan discoloration occurs due to unremoved and un reheated food films, too much iron content in cooking water and overheating of the pan itself. It’s my great hope that the above well outlined tips help you on how to clean All-Clad pans and making sure that they don’t get stained or discolored.
