Strongly alkaline or oxidising chemicals such as baking soda, bleach, sodium hypochlorite, etc., due to their properties as strong electrolytes, will react electrochemically with stainless steel and damage its surface structure.
The act of air burning is extremely detrimental to stainless steel cookware. Given that the thermal conductivity of stainless steel is poorer than that of iron and aluminium products, and the heat conduction rate is slower, air burning will accelerate the aging process of the chrome layer on the surface of the cookware, resulting in peeling off of the plating, which affects the aesthetics and service life.
For the stainless steel cutlery surface due to the use of the phenomenon of loss of luster, do not use steel balls or sandpaper for rough friction.
