When it comes to pots, pans and other utensils, there are not too many materials of manufacture. Therefore, you should focus on other parameters.

- Stains on the walls of pots and pans can be removed with a regular detergent. If that doesn't work, you can treat the surface with vinegar or citric acid. Lemon juice is also good.
- Housewives need to remember that it is strictly forbidden to place hot dishes under cool water, since temperature differences can lead to surface cracking. The product needs to be cooled first.
