Introduction
Have you ever bought a shiny new stainless steel pan and wondered:
“Do I really need to scrub this before I can use it?”
If so, you’re not alone. Most people don’t realize that many stainless steel pans come coated with abrasive compounds that must be removed before the first use.
What Is Abrasive Residue—and Why Is It a Problem?
During manufacturing, most pans are treated with abrasive chemicals to polish the surface.
This process leaves behind invisible residues that can mix with your food during cooking.
If you skip the pre-cleaning process, you may unknowingly ingest these compounds.
How Hard Is It to Remove Abrasives?
Very hard, actually.
Typical abrasive removal involves:
- 🧂 Soaking the pan in vinegar or baking soda solution
- 🧼 Scrubbing with steel wool or harsh sponges
- 🔁 Repeating this process multiple times
- 😬 Still not being fully confident it’s clean
It’s time-consuming. It’s inconvenient. And worst of all, it’s not 100% reliable.
So How Is Stenny Different?
Stenny skips the abrasives altogether.
We developed the world’s first stainless steel pan that requires no pre-cleaning because we never use polishing chemicals in the first place.
