To clean stainless steel pans properly, wash by hand with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. It’s tempting to use a scourer, but they can scratch the surface, so best avoided. For stubborn bits, soak with hot water and bicarbonate of soda. A stainless steel cleaner helps restore shine if needed. Most are dishwasher-safe, but hand-washing tends to keep them looking newer for longer. Always dry thoroughly to fend off water marks. More care tips live over on our Product Care hub.

No, stainless steel cookware does not need seasoning before use. Unlike cast iron, it doesn’t rely on seasoning to perform well. Just preheat the pan, add a splash of oil, let that heat through, then add your ingredients. This creates a temporary non-stick effect that works wonders with most foods. Stainless steel is naturally non-reactive too, so it’s perfect for cooking acidic dishes like a sharp tomato sauce.

Yes, Samuel Groves stainless steel cookware is oven-safe up to 250°C. That means it can handle everything from browning under the grill to baking a shepherd’s pie. Since there are no plastic or wooden parts, you’ve got total freedom across the hob and oven. The riveted stainless steel handles are tough and heat-resistant, but you’ll still want oven gloves to hand. Versatility like this makes one pot meals delightfully faff-free.

To stop food sticking to stainless steel pans, slowly preheat the pan, add oil, let it get hot, then add your ingredients. This simple routine forms a temporary barrier that helps food release cleanly. Delicate items, like fish or eggs, might need a little patience - let them sear fully before flipping. Even heat helps too, which is why Samuel Groves' tri-ply design is such a win. And no need for scrubbing - just soak and wipe gently.

Yes, stainless steel cookware is non-toxic and safe to cook with. Samuel Groves uses high-grade stainless steel that’s non-reactive, so it won’t leach nasties into your food, even with acidic dishes. These pans are free from chemical coatings, which can wear away over time. That’s why stainless steel is a firm favourite in professional kitchens - reliable, long-lasting, and safe from the get-go.

Tri-ply construction improves cooking performance by surrounding an aluminium core with stainless steel. This boosts heat efficiency and eliminates hotspots - great for even browning or boiling. Samuel Groves’ tri-ply build runs up the sides as well as across the base, so the whole pan does its bit. That means snappier temperature control and fewer culinary surprises.
