The giant sticky label on the outside of the cooker has been maddening to remove - tips on getting rid of the residue without damaging the metal?

I usually use something like peanut butter, as the sticky stuff is probably oil-soluble... also works for getting chewing gum out of kids hair.I did not have this label on mine, so I'm just guessing.. worth a try.

I soak the pot in warm/hot soapy water either overnight or for a few hours. Stuck residue comes off with a few swipes with a scrubbing pad. You can get it off without soaking but it takes a lot more elbow grease. You have to be willing to put up with a little inconvenience in exchange for not getting any of that non-stick coating in your food.

Mine had glue residue that came off the first time I used it with heat, and it did so with a loud pop. Be careful. I would try low heat first.Putting the label on there was a terrible idea. Very nice pan, really bad decision to affix a sticky label to a nonstick surface.

I only use it on the outside of the pan to clean the inside I heat up oil in the pan then wipe it out. That will take any burnt stuff off.

Sorry cannot help about the rust i would try the steel wool like was suggested though. I find with mine food still tends to stick no matter how many times i try to seal the pan with oil.

I did not have that problem. If you allow the solution to sit on the dried on areas to the stove, it should remove easily.

I use a powdered soap like Ajax or Comet. Heat the pan in hot soap water, pull it out and scrub. If that doesn't work try over cleaner outside.

There was a large sticker on mine, but I pulled it off slowly and removed it in one piece without tearing it. There was also no residue left behind :)

I've cleaned mine in the dishwasher with no ill effects. It is after all just anodized metal (probably aluminum). However, that's usually overkill, since I usually thaw food still freezer wrapped, so a wipe with a paper towel or sponge with a little dish soap and rinse is all it takes. Never had anything stick to it, so I've never scoured it.

I would suggest you to add some detergent in the pan, then put it on stove to heat it up a little bit. It will help you to remove those grunges easily.

I have not had that problem. I guess I might try spraying it with Pam or other cooking spray. Good Luck!

It's adhered via a sticky pad. So you would just pull it off and then use something like googone to removed any sticky residue. The sticky pad is a one use only deal and it's very strong!!

Spray some WD-40 into the label let it soak in for about 2-3 minutes then use any kind of scrapper and wipe off. Repeat if necessary. Its easy....

Did you season your pot before the first use. Google seasoning a Dutch oven and it will give you instructions. I think that is why you have the residue. Also follow the maximum temperature for cooking in the skillet. Don't get worried though because you will be okay.

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. :)

It was a bit difficult to get the plastic off. I was able to get roughly 90% of the plastic off when I peeled it. The remaining plastic is still on the knob but it's been in the oven and on the stove numerous times since then and I guess maybe it's heatproof plastic? I don't know but it hasn't melted off and it hasn't stunk up the oven.

Mine did not have a sticker on it. You can try peeling it off and if there is residue, goo gone works well in removing it. I would suggest pulling one corner and slowly work it until it comes off to prevent it from leaving a mess. Hope this helps.
