Cast iron: wash without soap, dry immediately, and season with a thin layer of oil after each use. Stainless steel: use a stainless steel cleaner for stubborn stains; always dry to prevent water spots. Never use metal scrubbers on non-stick or enamel surfaces. ## How to Choose the Right Cookware Consider your stove type (gas, induction, or electric), material (non-stick for everyday ease, cast iron for long slow cooking, stainless for boiling and sautéing), and size (a 26 cm kadai handles most Indian cooking for 4–6 people). For a complete kitchen setup, start with a 24–26 cm non-stick pan, a 3–5 litre stainless steel pot, and a 28 cm cast iron skillet. ### Frequently Asked Questions Q: Is IKIRU cookware induction-compatible?
