Pots and stockpots– a must-have in every kitchen
Pots and stockpots are essential kitchen equipment. Pots are also one of the first things you have to buy if you are moving out of your parents’ place, if you are buying a new house with your partner or if you are moving into a completely new place, with a brand-new kitchen in which your old set of pots would look… ugly.

How to take care of your pots?
Do you know that most people buy a set of pots only two or three times during their hole life? We sometimes tend to buy a car more often than pots! This is why it’s worth investing in high-quality pots and enjoying their functionality for years to come and every time you cook. And if you invest money in high-quality cookware, you should also make sure you take care of your pots in a proper way. How to take care of your pots?
- always read the manufacturer’s instructions before the first use and make sure you don’t put your pots into a dishwasher if it’s not recommended,
- don’t use metal utensils that may scratch the surface of your pots, use wood or silicone kitchen utensils instead,
- avoid leaving dirty pots overnight or soaking them for a long time (especially stainless steel pots),
- if you want to get rid of stains on the surface of your stainless steel pots, clean them with a stainless steel cleaning product,
- avoid cleaning your ceramic-coated pots with steel wool,
- clean your iron pots immediately after using and don’t use soap because metal is porous and it can absorb the flavour of the chemicals,
- avoid temperature shock, don’t put hot pots into cold water, etc.,
- don’t cook acidic foods (like tomato) in cast-iron cookware,
- don't stack coated pots and pans on top of each other as this may cause scratching and chipping. Hang them on hooks or put them on their sides.
