I stopped using silicone pans because the ones that I had developed a sticky residue that I could not remove. Is this a problem with this pan?

No, I haven't experienced that problem, but I don't use the pans all that often. I like them very much when I do; this particular one is great for meatloaf. Maybe try scrubbing the pans with a paste made of table salt and a little water...it's great on no-stick pans!

Mine has been stable, I use regular dish soap. I don't stick it in dishwasher

My pans have not developed a sticky surface so I can't speak from experience but I have read other reviews that say it doesn't seem to affect the quality of use.

After a few months using this pan twice a week the pan is still brand new. No sticky residues in it.

The sticky residue does occur, especially if washed in the dishwasher. The pan needs to be cleaned by hand for a successful washing.The pan is also somewhat flimsy when empty and the bottom is textured, making cleaning a bit trickier at the seams.

I have being using it twice a week for the last two months. So far, no sticky residues.

Were you using non-stick spray on the pan? This left a hard sticky residue on my ceramic non-stick pans, so could leave it on these.

I have used mine for a year--exclusively for baking bread. I put flour in the pan--no oil--shake it around. Then I put the dough in the pan, let it rise, and bake. It comes out easily. I have washed by hand or in the dishwasher and no residue.

Nope. Silicone must be removed. Curses to anyone who used silicone as it is a PITA :(

Mine came off easily and the residue came off with warm soapy water. If its that sticky on yours you can always try a drop of goo gone that you can pick up from home depot or Lowe's. I only had an issue with one pan but after a few scrubs with dish soap it came off completely.

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?

No. After two or three uses, the stickiness goes away. I then toss them in the trash and go on to use the next two.

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 have two 5 qt. pans that I have had for many years and they are fine. My infinite pans are newer, go in the dishwasher regularly, and are also fine. I do use nylon utensils, but take no other care and the non-stick coatings are fine with daily use.

No problem. Wash by hand or in the dishwasher. Check for dried on residue if it's not washed right after use.

I have noticed no sticky residue. You only need to use the smallest amount of this product. I use a tiny drop and smear it around the pad. I have not noticed a residue when I remove the pads.

I have had no problems with at all with the coating coming off of the edges. I do place a paper towel between each pan when I store them in my pan drawers and this may be why I have had no problems with peeling.

I haven't had any sticking issues. I do not use high heat.I usually use medium to medium high heat when I am using the fry pans . This is my second set of Calphalon and both sets have been wonderful. If you continue to have sticking issues, contact Calphalon and see what they have to say.

I always use the soft side of the sponge so I don't scratch the surface. BUT!!! Two of my pans have the protective coating peeling off even though I have been SUPER careful with these pans. I don't think they are a good product; I won't buy them again.

If it comes apart, I haven't figured it out. I carefully inspected mine after two eggs. I didn't detect any food residue whatsoever, fwiw. Proceed accordingly.

I would say that yours is flawed. I have been so happy with mine that I'd be surprised if you were treated less than graciously by the seller. The total non-stickedness of this pan is part of what makes it great. Get a good one.

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 am guessing you might have been harsh in cleaning your non stick pan. As to any non stick coated pan or tray, i suggest using dish soap and sponge to clean them, and if there were any burnt food, soak them first in warm soapy water then scrub gently with sponge after rinsing towel dry them promptly. I periodically clean mine with baking soda. I delegate pans for cakes and food and even they are non stick, i still spray them with non stick spray to be sure.

I feel its a matter what's your approach to cleaning. These pans haven't been a problem for me at all. I'll soak when necessary for less difficulty in cleaning. They are holding up great and they look good as new.
