how do you clean the outside bottoms of the pans and what could you use on them without damaging them?

I use a scotch brite pad on outside or soft scrub. some exteriors are metal, some are coated. use scotch brite on metal but soft scrub on coated/painted.

I use the green or blue sponges that have a plastic side for cleaning. Sometimes soft scrub.

Sorry, this was purchased as a gift and sent directly to a family member; however, I like barkeepers friend for cleaning such things. But if you have any doubt about causing damage to the pan I would contact Cuisinart directly.

Clean the pan thoroughly with soap and water and oil it well with olive oil. Oil after every use.

They are very easy to clean. My husband managed to forget something he was cooking and burnt the bottom. I used vinegar and baking soda annd a sponge and it came sparkling clean. I suppose other cleaners would have done as nice a job but vinegar and baking soda is my preferred cleaner for most jobs.

Use a Teflon safe sponge like scrubeez, and Dawn dish detergent. Soak for a while and then scrub.

some things leave a residue...but the cleaning is the key...only use a wet paper towel to clean...soap is not good for this type of pans.

If you don't want your pots and pans to have that charred look that goes with camping simply take a small amount of regular liquid dish soap (not a special environmentally friendly one) and rub a light coating all over the outside of the pot or pan. It will appear blackened after cooking however when it comes time to clean up the outside will clean up very easily with minimal to none of the black charring left on the outside of the pot!

For my SS pans, I shake some baking soda onto the wet pan bottom. Put some soap on the wet dishcloth. Rub it out. Easy. Great technique for cleaning scum off outside of pans, glass casserole dishes, stainless sinks , plastic dishpans, and much more. Keep a shaker of baking soda near the sink!

I would use warm water or maybe some Woolite to clean the inside. That would be gentle enough. If you are referring to the outside, warm soapy water with a soft cloth should be ok

While skillet is still warm, dump in some kosher salt. Scrub under running water with a sponge or stiff brush. Rinse. Sometimes I need to repeat until the salt stays white (esp true if I cooked up bacon). Dry completely and immediately. Use a little bit of grapeseed oil to protect the pan. You don't want to use soap, steel wool, or put the pan in the dishwasher as it will strip the pan's seasoning. You also don't want to soak the pan in water because the pan will rust.

I wash my pan in mild dish soap and dry with a towel immediately. Take a little cooking oil or olive oil and rub in with a soft cloth to all cooking areas of the pan.

Once cool I normally Lodge plastic pan scrapers. If very dirty I occasionally use water and kosher salt. Once dry apply cooking oil to prevent rusting.

Although it might say dishwasher safe I make it a habit to wash my pans by hand with a mild soap. Then take a small amount of oil and wipe the pan with a papper towel. This removes any soap scum left behind and keeps the pan surface moist and ready to use the next time.

Put some water with a little dish soap in and put it on burner low temp for about ten minutes then scub pan clean

Sorry I can't help you. I've only used mine a couple of times and have had no problem cleaning it. Did you grease and/or flour the pan first?

you have to season pans first heat a little then pour a little oil in pan wipe off with paper towel should do this every so often to keep pans from sticking around every 10 use or so

I think there are Teflon sprays that you can buy but properly cared for, the coating in this pan should last a very long time. It is so slippery that it should never need to be scrubbed only washed with a dish rag.

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. :)
