One of the hardest workers around your kitchen, faithfully doing its job and never complaining whatsoever is your cookware. However, keeping it clean at all times can prove to be a challenge for many homemakers. Hence it is always wise to follow what the manufacturers have to say when it comes to maintenance and cleaning of the utensils, such as the Denby bowl.
You can go ahead and sue tepid water with a nice dish detergent to keep the cookware clean. But remember to use a non abrasive pad to clean or a sponge, for the inside out of the utensil. When you leave your utensils uncleaned all night, you allow the food to stick to the item, making it harder for you to get it off the next morning. If you have to keep it for a few hours without cleaning, it would be best for you to fill the utensils with soapy warm water for sometime. This wouldn't allow the food particles to stick, nor would it allow the stains to appear on the utensils, especially on Denby bowls.
For non-stick cookware and other utensils, such as Denby bowls, use soapy water, which is warm and a sponge to get the items cleaned. If there is food stuck to the utensils, then go ahead and use in ratio 1:1, some baking soda with tepid water. The paste should be applied on the surface of the utensil with the help of a sponge. If you don't have a sponge, go ahead and use a scrubber made of plastic, but don't use a scrubber made of metal, scouring pads, abrasive materials or else the cookware would get corroded and damaged. For more help on what you can use and what you cannot, it would be best for you to read what the manufacturers have to advise you in their manuals.
Cleaning Denby bowls is different from cleaning and caring for your stainless steel items. If you see the utensil is showing signs of discoloration, you could use a polish to restore its look or even a copper cleaner for that matter. Most manufacturers would advise that you use a home made remedy to keep your stainless steel in perfect condition. This would be using a homemade paste, which is quarter cup white vinegar and salt. Rub this mixture on the utensil with the help of a soft sponge and then rinse it with water. Your cookware would be saved and get a new look altogether and the process isn't taxing to use!!
Now that you know how to care for your Denby bowls and other stainless steel items, let's tell you about maintaining cast iron items as well. We all know it is important to have seasoned cast iron utensils at home, a utensil which has been baked so that rusting doesn't happen and allows the utensil to have properties similar to that of non-stick utensils. You should use a stiff brush to get the cast iron utensil cleaned. Use detergents and soap with hot water or else the seasoning of the cookware would be eaten away. If there is food stuck to the base of the item, allow water to boil in it for a few minutes and it will come out without any difficulty.
