1. Wooden Cookware Care Guide
Wooden kitchen utensils, cutting boards and wooden cooking tools require regular maintenance to preserve their natural texture and ensure long service life.
Daily Cleaning
Gently wipe off food residues after use; clean with warm water and neutral edible soap.
Do not soak wooden cookware in water for long periods. Wipe completely dry with a soft microfiber cloth right after washing to avoid water swelling, deformation and cracking.
Wood Protection and Hydration
Apply food-grade natural wood wax or nourishing edible wood oil two to four times a year to maintain smoothness, form a protective layer and prevent the wood from drying and cracking.
Avoid cleaning products containing ammonia or strong corrosive solvents, which will damage the wood surface and leave harmful residues contacting food.
Usage Precautions
Keep wooden cookware away from direct stove fire, high-temperature oven and long-term sunlight exposure to prevent warping, cracking or discoloration.
Use heat-resistant mats when placing hot cookware on wooden cutting boards to avoid scald marks.
Wipe up soup, oil and liquid spills immediately to avoid permanent stains and water infiltration.
2. Coated Non-Stick Cookware Care Guide
Non-stick coated pots and pans bring convenient cooking experience but need careful maintenance to protect the coating and avoid premature peeling.
Regular Cleaning
Wait for the cookware to cool down completely before cleaning; do not rinse hot cookware with cold water to prevent coating cracking.
Wash with soft sponge and neutral detergent, never use steel wool or hard scrub brushes that scratch the non-stick layer.
Stain Treatment
Burnt food stains: soak in warm soapy water for 10–20 minutes, then wipe gently. Do not scrape hard residues with metal spatulas.
For stubborn oil stains, use dedicated cookware cleaner. Always test the cleaner on an inconspicuous edge first.
Coating Protection
Only use silicone, wooden or nylon spatulas during cooking; metal utensils will scratch the non-stick coating.
Avoid high-temperature empty burning for a long time, which will accelerate coating aging and peeling.
Hand washing is recommended; if the cookware label allows dishwasher cleaning, place it gently and separate from metal cookware to avoid friction damage.
3. Metal Cookware Care Guide
Stainless steel, carbon steel and aluminum cookware feature sturdiness and practical cooking performance. Proper maintenance preserves surface gloss and avoids rust and discoloration.
Cleaning and Routine Maintenance
Wipe the surface with a slightly damp microfiber cloth after cooling to remove oil stains and food residue.
For stubborn burnt dirt, use mild non-abrasive cookware detergent, wipe clean with a damp cloth then fully dry.
Avoid acidic cleaners, bleach and corrosive solvents that corrode metal surfaces.
Corrosion Prevention
Dry metal cookware thoroughly after cleaning; residual water will cause rust spots especially for carbon steel cookware.
For humid kitchen environments, apply a thin layer of edible maintenance oil regularly to form an anti-rust protective film.
Usage Precautions
Avoid hard collisions and scratches that damage the metal surface or oxide layer.
Do not place extremely hot cookware directly on cold stone countertops to prevent thermal deformation.
Use protective pads under cookware bottoms to avoid scratching kitchen countertops.
