Recently, some sellers of non-stick pans have been spreading distorted information about existing stainless steel products. We are sharing the official video produced by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

Non-stick pans are generally produced by small-scale manufacturers and are products that have only the pan shape formed without the seasoning process, then surface-treated using strong chemicals.

Since the seasoning process is not performed, scratches, stretching, and file marks remain on the product surface. These points can be easily confirmed by viewing the actual products.

There is distorted information widely spreading that using existing stainless steel products is equivalent to ingesting carcinogenic substances.

As can be confirmed through the official video by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, this is a false claim.

The recommended replacement cycle for coating pans is about 6 months.

Having to replace them twice a year causes cost and inconvenience. How long will you keep repeating this?

What is 316 Stainless Steel (316 STS)?

Comparison between 316 STS and 304 STS

• 304 STS: Nickel 8~10.5%, Chromium 18~20%
• 316 STS: Nickel 10~14%, Chromium 16~18%, Molybdenum 2~3%

316 Stainless Steel contains added molybdenum (Mo), making it an ultra-premium material with excellent corrosion resistance, acid resistance, and high-temperature strength.

It is used for medical instruments, implants, artificial joints, aerospace parts, and other high-grade applications.

Usage Precautions

• Stainless steel products cannot be used in microwave ovens.
• Products can become hot during or immediately after heating, so be cautious not to let children touch them during cooking.
• When in use, place containers in the center of the heating device and adjust the flame so that it does not touch the side of the product.

Cleaning Instructions After Purchase

Stainless steel products are surface-treated using seasoning agents. Please be sure to wash the product as follows before use.

• Use a kitchen towel with vegetable oil or a seasoning cleaner to wipe the product thoroughly.
• After wiping, rinse with water and wash using baking soda to clean.
• Finish by washing with kitchen detergent.

Care Instructions

• After washing, if rainbow colors or white spots appear inside or outside the product, they are natural phenomena caused by a reaction between minerals in food and stainless steel during cooking.
• If mineral deposits appear, put an appropriate amount of water in the container, add about 2 spoons of vinegar, and boil.
• For the outside, soak a cloth in vinegar and wipe. After wiping, remove moisture and dry.
