Is Cleaning Stainless Steel Cookware a Pain?
A friend of mine read the article concerning the dangers of using non-stick coated cookware and mentioned the reason she doesn’t use them currently is because they are a pain to clean. To be perfectly honest here I have to agree with her.
However, thanks to a dear friend of mine who has been using Stainless Steel cookware for years I have several great tips that work for quick clean up. Keep in mind that the best thing to do with the cookware is not put it in the dishwasher. I know, I know… Hand washing is a pain too! But it will keep your pots and pans in great shape for years to come.
When cleaning the cookware I use 2 products that work great. The first one is called Mrs. Meyer’s Surface Scrub. It comes in several fragrances – my favorites are Lemon Verbena or Lavander. The second is called Bar Keepers Friend Liquid Cleanser. Using these products together quickly and easily will get your stainless steel clean as new.
I am very careful about the types of cleansers that I use and/or recommend. That includes cleansers for the kitchen, bathroom, house, car, pets, etc. Always wear gloves and choose cleaners that are safe for you and the environment. When in doubt about what brand of cleaner to select – always choose Seventh Generation. You can’t go wrong with this amazing company. From laundry soap to toilet bowl cleaners their products are a great value, safe for you, and the environment. Seventh Generation makes a great pet shampoo as well.
I will write more soon regarding healthly choices for cleaners! But for now – good luck cleaning your stainless steel and say goodbye to the dangerous non-stick cookware! Your birds will thank you too!
