your expensive pans much sooner.
How to care for them: Hand wash with a soft sponge and mild dish soap. Avoid abrasive scrubbers like steel wool. Always let the pan cool completely before washing to prevent warping. While some newer ceramic-coated pans claim to be dishwasher safe, hand washing will always extend their life.
Anything with Adhesive Labels
We’ve all tried to scrub a baked-on sticker off a dish after a dishwasher cycle—it’s a nightmare. When exposed to high heat and water, labels disintegrate, leaving a stubborn, sticky residue on your dishes and inside the machine. Worse, the paper fragments and melted glue can clog your dishwasher’s filter, drastically reducing its cleaning efficiency.
How to care for them: Always remove all labels and stickers before loading. Soak stubborn labels in warm, soapy water to loosen the adhesive, and gently use a razor blade or scraper to remove any leftover glue.
