How to Care for Tramontina Cookware

Even for the nonchef, a good set of cookware can make preparing any meal easier and less stressful, since there is no need for the cook to compensate for a pan that heats too quickly or unevenly. Tramontina is a line of cookware known for its durable, long-lasting pieces. While Tramontina can be quite expensive, many people find it satisfying to purchase one piece at a time. Begin with the pot or pan you will use most often; for example, a sauté pan or stock pot.

Rubber gloves
Nonabrasive cleansing powder without bleach
Soft rags
Towel
Food-grade oil

Instructions

- 1
  Clean your Tramontina correctly to maintain it. Fill the kitchen sink with 2 inches of warm water. Put on a pair of rubber gloves.
- 2
  Place the first Tramontina piece in the water. Sprinkle the inside surface with nonabrasive, bleach-free cleansing powder.
- 3
  Tip the pot or pan to add a small bit of water from the sink to the inside. Use just enough water to form a paste with the powder. Rub the paste over the inside of the Tramontina piece in a circular motion, using a soft rag.
- 4
  Rinse the piece well with plain water and set it on a towel to air-dry. Wash the rest of your Tramontina pieces in the same fashion.
- 5
  Keep stainless steel pieces clean and dry. If you have cast iron pieces, oil and season them regularly with a food-grade oil just as you would any cast iron.
