Reasons to use stainless steel in kitchens

Stainless steel is an ideal material for professional kitchens, as it is easy to clean and its chemical characteristics allow it to last a long time. In addition, the kitchen is a place that gets dirty constantly and requires perfect hygiene.

A flawless surface 

Stainless steel is one of the most hygienic materials and has antibacterial chemical properties that prevent food from adhering to the surface and becoming impregnated in the material.

We say that a material is hygienic when it presents certain adequately coordinated characteristics:

• High resistance to corrosion from various factors.
• Totally compact and slightly porous or rough surface.
• Capable of having high resistance to thermal variations.
• Absence of fragile or easily deteriorated protective coatings.
• Optimal cleaning capacity and therefore, high degree of bacteria elimination.

Therefore cleaning it is very easy and fast, we recommend Inoxbrill stainless steel cleaner.

A modern touch in your kitchen 

In addition to being easy to clean, stainless steel brings a simple and elegant style to the kitchen. It matches all colours and tastes. 

Stainless steel has various uses in the kitchen. It can be used as a countertop on any surface, or the sheet metal can be placed vertically to use it as a splash guard to protect the walls behind the sink or stove. It can also be used to seal a joint around a sink. 

Due to the antioxidant qualities of stainless steel, it can also be placed outdoors. An example where we can find stainless steel outdoors are the boats where the mythical Malaga skewers are roasted and the reeds where they are skewered.

It is very important to keep stainless steel in kitchens clean to extend its life. It can easily scratch and leave fingerprints, so we should avoid cleaning it with brushes and aggressive detergents. We recommend using a sponge or cloth and the specific cleaner for this material, Inoxbrill.

Stainless steel is very heat resistant, but we advise you not to leave a very hot pan or saucepan on the hob for too long.

At Zavala we have been working with stainless steel in its different versions for almost 50 years, both flat and long, so if you need more information, feel free to ask our steel experts.
