Steel Cookware
Stainless steel Cookware in the Oven?
I was watching Everyday Italian today, and she cooked some stuff in her stainless steel sautee pan, then put it right in the oven. Is it okay to do that? The brand is Tramontina and they are all stainless steel. I would love to be able to sautee then put straight in the oven, but I don’t want to ruin my beautiful new pans!
Also, does anyone have any good suggestions for cleaning them? I use Mr. Metal and the soft side of a sponge since the harsh side scratches them, but sometimes it’s so hard to get the food off inside since I can’t scrub them. Any suggestions?
I forgot to say that there is no teflon coating, and the handles are also stainless steel. Thanks for reminding me of that Theyuks.
Sure, you can put stainless cookware in the oven (I’m going to assume it’s all stainless, and isn’t actually Teflon coated and didn’t come with a wooden or plastic handle or anything, right?) Just be careful when pulling it out… the obvious stuff. You’d be amazed at how many people are surprised how hot a pan can get when it sits in a 350F oven for a half hour or so…
As for cleaning, be aware than any cleaning product will scratch the surface slightly, no matter how careful you are. Obviously, you don’t want to put big gouges into the metal, but every time you scrub it, you’re leaving little scratches in the surface. Every time I cook, I make sure the pan is quite warm before adding oil — the heat causes the metal to expand, allowing more oil to get into all the cracks and interstices in the surface of the metal and preventing most sticking. Then, even if I didn’t make a sauce in the pan, I deglaze with water and scrape at the bottom with a wooden spoon to break up what may have stuck during cooking; the rest should come off with soapy water and a good sponge. I sometimes have to use steel wool or an SOS pad if I let something burn on, because then it’s bonded to the metal and there’s nothing else you can do.
