Aluminum Utensils-Cleaning
Wash in warm water using mild soap or detergent. Soaking pans in strong detergents, alkalies, and alkaline scouring powders causes discoloration. Do not use even mild alkali, such as baking soda to soak aluminum pans. Do not use harsh abrasives or scouring powders. Plain aluminum utensils can be washed in the dishwasher, but may darken. Place in rack where no undissolved detergent can fall on it. Removing at end of final rinse and towel-drying may reduce darkening.
Special Finish Never wash anodized colored aluminum, nor the professional type utensils with a hard gray finish in the dishwasher as they may be damaged permanently.
