Brilio.net - Stainless steel pans are often the main choice in the kitchen because they are durable and can withstand heat well. Stainless steel is not only strong and durable, but also resistant to corrosion. In addition, stainless steel pans also do not react with food, so they are safe to use for cooking various types of dishes without worrying about contamination of taste or chemicals.
Another advantage of stainless steel pans is their ability to distribute heat evenly. This is very important in the cooking process because it ensures that food is cooked perfectly and no part is too hot or too cold. Stainless steel pans are also easy to maintain and clean, because their smooth, non-porous surface reduces the possibility of food sticking and burning.
However, although stainless steel pans have many advantages, their use also requires special attention. Especially if the stainless steel pan is in new condition. The reason is, new pans usually contain a lot of residue, which cannot be completely removed just by scrubbing with soap.
Well, to be safer, you can do several steps like Instagram user @audreyishome did. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to having three steps when washing a new stainless steel pan . These steps will make the pan more hygienic, sterile, and safe to use.

As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @audreyishome on Monday (11/25), the first thing to do is to rub the surface of the pan using tissue. But first, add a little cooking oil to the surface of the tissue. Then use the tissue to wipe the stainless steel pan. Immediately after wiping, the tissue looked so dirty.

Once done, clean the stainless steel pan as usual using a sponge and dish soap. At this stage, the washing water will usually look cloudy and black because the residue is starting to fade. However, this does not mean the pan is ready to use.
Next step, fill the pan that has been washed with clean water. Then put it on the stove and add enough vinegar. Then boil the vinegar water until it boils. Well, vinegar water will help remove all remaining residue and neutralize the pan to make it more hygienic.

Once the vinegar water boils, turn off the stove and discard the water. Once done, rinse the stainless steel pan again under running water, then dry it. That way, the stainless steel pan is ready to be used to cook various types of food.
The video about the pan-washing trick has been watched more than 1 million times since it was uploaded on Thursday (11/21). Many other Instagram users then gave direct responses through the comments column. Most netizens even admitted that they had just found out about the trick.
