How do I get stains from pans?
342498
I've used a product called "Bar Keepers Friend" on mine. The only discoloration I notice is on the bottoms occasionally and also the rivets on the inside of the pan. The rivets don't ever seem to clean and shine up like new, however, the bottom can be polished up with the above product. It's only a couple bucks...it's a powder that you make a paste with a little water. Rub the paste on the bottom of the pan and let it sit 15 minutes or so and then rub off. Works like a charm! I've had these pans for several years and love them despite the rivets not recovering from a lot of use. Hope that helps!

I've had wolfs pans for several years now. I use vinegar and baking soda or Astonish. Astonish is my favorite.

There two methods to remove stains. The first is to use a mixture of dish soap and stainless steel cleaner. The second is to use white vinegar

We used Barkeepers Friend cream cleanser and small sponge. We had to let the baked-on grease stains sit in soapy hot water solution for the fry pan.

Warm water and paper towel. If this doesn't remove the stain use dry white rice. Grind the rice into a fine powder. Then throw out the rice. Repeat until the rice stays white when ground. No soap

To remove burned-on food, fill the pan with enough warm, soapy water to cover the mess and let it sit for an hour. Then put the pan back on the burner and boil the soapy water for 10 to 15 minutes. Let the water cool to the touch, then scrub with a nylon scouring pad. Wash out again with hot, soapy water, rinse and dry. Repeat for stubborn residue. Use a non-abrasive cleanser like Bon Ami Polishing Cleanser or Bar Keepers Friend for general cleaning, stain removal and keeping the cookware shiny as new. Don't use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners. Although they do an excellent job of removing stuck-on food, all stainless steel cookware makers caution that they will scratch the surface of the cookware. Instead, opt for nylon-net scouring pads, plastic or nylon brushes.

I suggest to put pan in sink, but alittle soap and water and then scrub with a soft scrubby. You can rinseas normal and then let drip dry.

Yes, the ceramic stains very easily. It also scratches easily. We have only used bamboo utensils in the pans and they are very scratched. I was very disappointed after using these pans for just a few days.

I actually just use a razor blade to scrape the burnt stains off. Hold it gently at a 45 degree angle. Hope that helps.

Hmm, rust is usually caused by damaged metal being exposed to air and water. Did the pans get damaged? I would not throw the set away. There are ways to remove rust from the pots and pans. I would google How to Remove Rust from Stainless Steel and see if you can find a remedy that looks like something you could do yourself. If you have any questions, I would advise calling the manufacturer and getting some advise from them. As a note, they are ideally used with a non-abrasive utensil, such as a wooden or silicon spatula, rather than with a metal one, which will scratch the interior of the pan. I hope this helps.

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

Mix baking soda & vinegar until it forms a paste. Put on any stain & leave for 5 minutes or until you get back to it. It's worked miracles on my stove.

I purchased a stainless steel 9x13 cookie sheet that I steamed baby potatoes in. S/S seems to mark when you bake/cook in in. Try a small area of "Bar Keepers Friend" powder (can find in larger grocery stores). I only use a small amount with a couple drops of water (make a paste) with a dobie scrub pad. This has worked in every s/s pan I own and it takes off any stain. Remember, only use in a small area at first.

Like another reviewer mentioned, I use Goo Gone. Pour a couple of drops directly into the pan. I rubbed the glue off using my fingers, which took a couple of minutes, then wiped all of the goo gone out with a paper towel, then washed the pans with hot water and dish soap.

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.

It is normal for it to get dark stains. When I made bread, I let it rise in the pot, then put it into a cold oven. Worked great. I think if you add something to a hot pot, you risk it cracking from the temp. difference.

Like any pan, you can try filling it part way with water and a large scoop (1/4 c.?) of baking soda. Bring it to a boil then let it rest for a while. After that, a non-metal spatula or other device capable of scraping without causing damage will generally remove the burned on substance.

I'm not sure about the white marks but I looked up the part about "whitish or grey spots" and they might be mineral (calcium) stains. I read some answers from using some lemon juice on the stains and/or a bit of dish soap and scrubbing the spots. Here is the link to the site I found.

Follow the instructions on the package but if you lost them It involved heating up oil in the pan. Alternatively you could just cook bacon a few times, scrape it clean with a metal spatula and clean with hot water only and a scrub brush. Dont use soap, ever! It will brown and discolor over the next few months but that is ok.
