They say to use COMET or Ajax cleanser.I didn't believe it either, but if you look on their site, you will see it too.

Calphalon recommends using Bon Ami for cleaning, that and a scrubby type sponge should do it. Calphalon also makes their own cleaner that I use occasionally to keep my cookware looking good. I have had many of my pieces for 17+ years and they all look as good as new.

I have spot cleaned it and the stain came right out. For the price, I would try to wash it in a front load washer on the gentle cycle.

A magnet is strongly attracted to the bottom of the pan. The largest pan in my set discolored badly in one area where the bottom separated from the internal core, which I believe is aluminum. The separation caused the pan to have a large bump on the bottom. We took that one to the recycling center because it seemed unsafe to use.

I have had my pans for over a year now and have not seen anything coming off the surface. I would contact the manufacturer if your concerned about it leaching.

I used it on the interior of the pan. I had spots that had turned very dark with scorched food (must have used too high heat) and I just kept scrubbing at them until they disappeared. The non-stick qualities of the pan don't seem to have been affected. This was over a year ago, and I'm still enjoying the pans.

I would use a nylon spatula and sponge with a little soap and gently rub it out. Clean it after each use carefully as mentioned after turning it off for about ten mins.

Vinegar... after washing - before drying - just wipe on, or spray on vinegar and rinse off and hand dry immediately - for all stainless steel pots and pans to remove the yellow spots and discoloration :)

That doesn't sound like your pan was properly sealed or finished. You should be able to use nonabrasive scrubbies and the pan should be like new. I've used mine for years and only had issues when someone used them on high even after they were told these pans don't need high heat. If you follow Pinterest do a search and you might find a cause and/or diy fix. Good luck and I will add any ideas I find.

I saw no mention of it so am thinking maybe not. You might call Calphalon and ask.

I used the "heat pan and scrub like heck all over the cooking surface with paper towel and coarse salt" method. Act like you are attempting to grind the salt into the stainless steel. It worked very well on this pan.

Did you use a cooking spray on it before you used it. That's not good. It can cause stains that are very difficult to remove and clean. A scouring pad should do the job with some soap. Barkeep's Friend should certainly help. If all fails use an SOS pad.

This isn't product related, but try soaking your stainless steel in vinegar for a bit (I just pour some in and let is sit for a while). The spots should come right off.

I would try rubbing alcohol. We owned a plating shop years ago and I would spray rubbing alcohol on the finished product to remove spots. I also hear that baby oil works too, haven't tried it. Good luck.

I have LeCrueset cookware but have not had a requirement to find a cleaner for it. That said I cannot see how it could hurt the enamel finish. If you have burnt the base of your cookware I would try bicarbonate of soda dissolved in hot water or oven cleaner. Cook Top Clean is non abrasive for all intensive purpose. Now!; I have just tried it out on removing a few stains on the outside of the lid and it worked without scratching and used it on stains on the inside and it worked a bit with hard rubbing. (These are stains after many years of use, not burnt on food particles). However I usually remove this type of stain by using a strong solution of bleach and hot water which is a lot easier than rubbing!

Put some oil on it and heat up in oven, then soap and hot water should get it off after that.

If they are cast iron, leave them alone, most can be cleaned with a good stainless steel cleaner, however if they are heat stained, get rid of them and buy new ones. We have pans over 50 years old, and the only problem with them is the handles are coming off, so we are getting new.

the same thing happened to my pan and I just cover it with aluminum foil then spray that with cooking spray. turns out completely fine PLUS there's no cleaning that way. :)
