Stainless steel cookware has become a popular choice for home cooks. While durable and easy to clean, stainless steel pots and pans require some specialized tools to keep them in good condition. A few essential tools include a plastic or wooden spatula to avoid scratching, a copper or brass scrubber for tough stuck-on foods, and vinegar or baking soda to remove stains and buildup. With the right tools, stainless steel cookware can last for years while maintaining its shine and non-stick surface.
