Does anyone know how to remove the "teflon" sticker from the pan without damaging it?

You can see my earlier review concerning this issue-I had the same problem. It was suggested by another reviewer to let the sticker soak in peanut oil for up to 8 hours to remove. I think it's absurd that the manufacturer puts a sticker with extremely strong adhesive on the cooking surface. My pan was ruined by the time I got the sticker removed.

Heat the sticker with a hair dryer .... this will loosen the glue and the sticker peels of easily. This also works for removing shipping labels on boxes so you can use the box again.

I honestly do not remember the sticker or removing it. Assume your concern is because it is on the non-stick surface. If that is the case then I suggest doing nothing but gently getting a thumb nail under and lifting. Or soaking for a while in warm soapy water. Hope this helps Unza.

The BEST way is to wipe it out w/paper towels upon rinsing. Avoid "scratchy" cleaners always, but you can remove past buildup w/those "safe for Teflon" dishwashing sponges. Hope this helps!

I haven't had any problems. However if u scrub the stickler with anything too abrasive it will come off. I usually just spray Lysol with bleach and wipe it off with a paper towel

hi frank.... if you want to remove the sticker-- a little alcohol gently applied might help... if this is the alessi that I purchased in 2010 from Germany---NOT CHINA.

I did for several months but when I went to remove it to wipe it off I found it stuck to the bottom of the oven. Took awhile to get it off the oven bottom. I will probably be using foil unless I find something else.

Don't use metal in the pan at all. That will prevent further scratches. I did the same thing.

No problems with the Teflon but I've been so incredibly disappointed in this machine I really don't use it much anymore :(

It is a sticker, it does not appear to be attached with rivets or screws. I would guess removing it slowly and the use of isopropyl alcohol or Goo Gone should be a fairly easy job. Honestly, I have thought of removing mine too.

No it is not Teflon, it is non stick and I think it is backed into the cookware and will not peel. Could be Iron stone!

The nonstick surface appears to be much more durable than the earlier Teflon, but I wouldn't recommend using metal. Use wood or plastic.

There is a product called Goo Gone. Use that. You can not soak the pan in water because it is not supposed to be immersed in water.

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.

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

Like Java's answer, I just pull it out. However, you may have some residue buildup that has caused it to stick. Consequently, you might try running some hot water over it in order to separate it. Once separated, thoroughly wash and dry all pieces before reassembling. In addition, you might try spraying cooking spray on the pieces before reassembling them.

Use a soldering iron to heat it up and remove. I have used this technique several times. Be careful not to burn anything in the process ;)
