Wash before first use. Always wash the cookware before first use in soap and hot water with a soft cloth.
Seasoning. Season stainless steel pan would help to keep the pan cook well and maintain its durability.
Preheat before cooking. Put stainless steel cookware on medium heat for a few minutes until the base is hot before adding foods. Overheating stainless steel cookware might cause brown stains on its surface.
Clean after each use. Never put hot pot or pan directly to cold water to avoid damaging. Allow it to cool down before cleaning. Clean after each use with soap and hot/warm water. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with hot water and dry completely clean towels.
Also, because salt can destroy the protective layer of passivation that protects stainless steel and leave stains on the cookware, add salt after the food has started to cook or bring the liquid to boiling before adding salt and stir well.
Hope this helps!
