The inside of my pan is gorgeous. I need to clean the bottom - Does Bar Keepers' Friend work?

All I do to clean mine is wipe off with a cloth and some hot water while still a little hot. You can also use a silicone spatula and some hot water. I have never had to use anything other than that.For the bottom, I am certain BKF would work. That stuff works on everything! I do not worry about the bottom though.

Bar Keepers is great for stainless pans but the coating on this pan is so slick that a little soap and water on a dish rag works just fine.

I clean my stainless steel pans with Bar Keepers Friend, and it works beautifully. I've never tried it on the bottoms of my Vollrath pans, but I'm sure it'll work just fine. Test a small area first, before you clean the entire bottom. Good luck!

Easy, just use the scrubby side of a non-scratching sponge and a little Bar Keepers Friend. Whatever you have burnt on the bottom, or stained it with, will come right off. Bar Keepers Friend is the greatest cleaner and polisher for enameled or stainless steel surfaces ever.

If you have something super sticky - ie a honey soy glaze for chicken wings, then I line the bottom of the pan with aluminum foil - same as I would for my flat bottomed pans. Otherwise I have not had a problem cleaning or cooking. If something is baked on, I let it soak with some hot water before I clean it. I do like the pans - very heavy grade. I make alot of chicken wings and they clean up nicely - including the rack.

I have the pan and I cook on an electric range. The only time I have something stick to the bottom is when it wasn't properly cleaned. The food sticks to food residue left in the pan after washing. If it is properly cleaned, this problem doesn't happen. Also, preheat before adding oil, butter, etc. Fred

Sure, if you're intent on retaining the interior (near) mirror finish. Otherwise, you'd probably clean it the way you'd clean any other stainless steel pan. Overall, cleanup is easy and I've never had to resort to harsh cleansers, though I have allowed the pan to soak with standard dish soap/water if I suspected that I have some resistance. Commend sense would dictate that you might want to substitute a non-stick pan for heavy cheese or egg-rich recipes.

it can get pretty dirty after cleaning a greasy pan. I think a dishwasher is essential.

It's very easy to clean. I use a paste of bar keepers friend with a damp sponge and food comes right off without being abrasive.

I've never noticed any of that but I would say use Bar Keepers Friend. It good for stainless steel.

No, it will not help. I did something similar to my sauce pan. This cleaner didn't make a dent. The cleaner seems more like a polish to keep new pans looking "newer". It's not effective.

I always hand wash my All-Clads. Use Bar Keeper's Friend every so often to keep them shiny and new.

Thanks. I ended up using the little green scrubby pads and that did the trick. I was just worried it would hurt the pan, but it looks as good as new.

No, but I've found the more I clean my pan (I use Barkeeper's Friend soft liquid cleanser), the less food tends to stick to it even though it doesn't have a non-stick surface.

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 used a product called "Bar Keepers Friend" on mine.

I just want to "ditto" on the hand wash only. I had a beautiful shiny silver pan that was washed in the dishwasher at work. Now it is so ugly - blacked and whatnot. I just popped out here to buy a new one. And I will make sure to NEVER leave it at work after a potluck again.

I haven't had a problem with that yet but I have heard the best product for cleaning these pans is a cleaner called Barkeep's Friend. I found it at Lowe's of all places.

I will check for you later. I found this set to be a waste of money. I have a mini toaster oven, pan size is perfect. However, the top broiler pan started to lose it's finish after a few uses. I never used anything abrasive to clean it with. It has now rusted & I just threw it out. I am now using the rack when I broil, but, it is difficult to clean as the food sticks to it. Don't waste your money. Keep shopping. I recently found some of these small pans at bed, bath & beyond. You may want to try those, you might have better luck.
