Invest in the Best

The first tip on the list is probably the most important, since you essentially get what you pay for. Even though stainless-steel cookware costs a little more, they can last a lifetime. Rather than purchasing inferior cookware, buy a piece at a time if necessary to save money.

Maintain a Medium or Low Burner Temperature

Cooking in stainless steel pots requires you to follow this rule. Highly tempered steel conducts heat so effectively that medium to low temperatures are perfectly adequate for most recipes. In addition, cooking or heating the pan at higher temperatures will cause unsightly discoloration, which might eventually affect the finish.

Always pre-heat the pan, unless the recipe specifically states not to

By doing so, you’re ensuring that your stainless-steel cookwares have the best surface possibility for searing meat and ensures the temperature is even throughout the cooking process.

Prepare food with non-abrasive utensils

Stainless steel cookwares are usually fine with metal spoons and whisks, but they may scratch the surface. Using heat-resistant silicone spatulas and other tools will prevent this. If any scratches do occur, a stainless-steel cleaner or a simple mixture of baking soda and water works well for restoring the luster.

Preparing Sauces

For searing meat and creating delicious sauces, stainless steel pots are ideal. Make sure not to move the meat until the pan releases it; this will seal the juices in and create the browning necessary for proper sauces, and don’t forget to add cold liquids to the hot roux for a smooth texture.

Acidic Food Rules

Stainless steel cookwares are fine for cooking tomatoes and citrus fruits, however do not store such items or salted meals because they may corrode the surface.

By following these simple cooking techniques, your heirloom quality, Neno Kitchenware can be passed down to the next generations of home chefs.
