Hestan pans are, as you state in the beginning made from titanium, not stainless steel. The pan you show the bottom of at 0:22 where it says "stainless" is not a Hestan pan. Titanium is a completely different material from stainless steel and does not contain chromium. Anyway, titanium also forms colored stains from oxidation when heated so the cleaning tip is still relevant, just the wrong explanation for that particular pan.

@TheStigma Месяц назад

This is essentiallyn what you call passivation in the metal industry. It is a very important post-treatment for stainless any time you have been milling/cutting/drilling or otherwise greatly disturbed the surface. Normally you passivate to remove any iron left on the exposed surface so that the chromium can make a uniform layer, otherwise that iron is going to rust just like normal steel. So if you every need to clean up a patch of rust on something stainless and you don't want to leave polishing compound on the surface (say for kitchen items), this is the trick you need to stop that rust from coming back later. - Any acid is usable for this. - CORRECTION: I have since learned that not all acids are suitable for stainless passivation. In fact some can do more harm than good. Citric acid is a geat choice because it is safe, cheap, easy to get (some coffee machine cleaners, and as food additive) and one of the best bechause it promotes the creation of the passivation layer, as well as chelating (binding) rust and free iron. Phosphoric acid is also suitable and works faster. Very commonly used as the main active ingredient in rust removers and "rust eaters". A good choice if rust buildup is thick.

A little bit of vinegar and a can of Barkeepers Friend are two staple items to make quick work of messes and keeping your pots and pans looking pristine.

@TeddyCavachon Месяц назад

I started using commercial cookware for home cooking back in the early 1970s with a set of Calphalon anodized aluminum. It was what most restaurants used at the time. That was also when it became trendy for home cooks to display their cookware on wall hooks or hangers suspended over their kitchen islands and keeping one’s cookware spotless became an obsession, the opposite of the approach with the cast iron. I continued to use my anodized aluminum until two years ago when I switched to an induction cooktop.

Greetings from Bangalore, India. Of course I would never pay 450 dollars for any pan....I couldn’t, and I wouldn’t. But in here we use a lot of stainless steel utensils and they are in use for more than half a century as I can recall. And they are way cheaper than what they cost abroad. Most Indian households have multiple sets of stainless steel cookware, serveware and storage boxes, simply because they are rather cheap. I do notice the discoloured patches in some stainless pans and vessels which are used in cooking. I didn’t know what it was. We don’t worry about them, just clean the pans with little lemon juice and soda, and they are good as new. I didn’t know about using diluted vinegar to clean these patches. That is an easy alternate. I will try that. Thank you for explaining the science behind these patches and the tip to clean them.

This is not quite an accurate description for the occasional discoloration on Hestan's titanium coated cookware. Titanium melts at 1600C, and begins to oxide somewhere above 600C, generally around 800C. You'd have to work pretty hard to get these pans that hot, though Hestan does say they're good to about 500C (1000F), which makes them useful on the grill, and is as much limited by what is underneath the titanium, which is a multilayer stainless-steel with an aluminum core for the good heat spreading properties. With these pans what you're seeing is more properly called a "food film" and is from the heat, oil and minerals from the food you're cooking, and shows up with the blue tint because it is very thin and is sitting on top the high mirror finish that the titanium coating has (which is done with physical vapor deposition, such as is used to make integrated circuits, etc.). The vinegar works well, but Hestan also sells a polish which goes a long way and does a great job too.
