What happens during the first week of using your stainless steel cookware?
Some changes may surprise you—but they’re completely normal.

 

🔸 A Slight Color Change
It’s natural for the surface to change slightly in color. This may appear as a golden or bluish tint, depending on your heat level and ingredients.
✅ It’s not rust. It’s not damage. It’s a sign your pan is building its character.

 

🔸 Tiny Surface Marks
Because Stenny pans aren’t coated with synthetic chemicals, you may notice small marks or streaks from utensils or cleaning. These are harmless and fade over time.
✅ Think of them like patina on cast iron—a natural sign of use.

 

🔸 Food Might Stick a Bit at First
Don’t worry—this improves with practice. As you learn to preheat and oil your pan properly, you’ll get better results each time.
✅ Use medium heat, allow time to preheat, and always add a small amount of oil.

 

Made to Age Beautifully
Stenny pans don’t rely on coatings that wear away.
The more you use it, the more confident and consistent your cooking will become.
