To keep your stainless steel lasting as long as possible, it is very important to take good care of it both on and off the stove. To begin, it is always good to use a non-abrasive utensils when working in a a stainless steel container. Materials like silicone, plastic and wood will do a great job at preventing the insides of the pan from getting scratched up. It is important that the finish not be scratched, because this is what is keeping this metal from being harmed by the effects of rust or stains. When washing stainless steel, always remember to never use an SOS pad on the finish. It will scratch up the surface and render the stainless absolutely useless.
