Developed with the insight of professional chefs and material know-how, Tools offer a broad range of cookware to add ease and design pleasing to the eye to all areas of cooking and serving. Tools is made of fine stainless steel which is remarkably easy to clean. The saucepans and casseroles feature tight-fitting lids and have measuring marks etched on their interiors.

All Iittala steel cookware is made of 18/ 10 stainless steel, ie 18 % chromium and 10 % nickel. Chromium protects the steel against corrosion. The addition of nickel to the alloy increases its corrosion resistance while adding a bright polished appearance, hardness, and exceptional resistance to all temperatures.

Iittala steel dishes are easy to take care of, dishwasher safe, and look good for a long time. Before using a new dish for the first time, wash it in mild detergent and remove all stickers and labels.

To remove stuck or burned food from your steel pan, follow these instruction: mix 1 cup of washing powder and two pints of water into your pan and cook for 30 minutes. Then scrub, soak, and dry. You can also use liquids that are especially made for steel cookware. For lime scale stains, pour ½ cup of vinegar and 2 pints of water into the pan and cook for 30 minutes. Another tip is to scrub the stains with a lemon half or with a special steel scouring liquid.
