How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not cook acidic foods in a pot with exposed metal or rust.

  • Clean gently: Wash with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Do not use steel wool or harsh abrasives.
  • Assess damage: If rust is superficial and on non-food-contact areas, it may be cleaned. If the cooking surface is pitted or coating is peeling, replace the pot.
  • Prevent future damage: Avoid metal utensils and high-abrasion cleaning. Dry the pot thoroughly after washing.
