Your pots and pans are very difficult to clean. Stuff sticks to them easily. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, no. This isn't to say I haven't tried boiling water in them first, then cleaning. I also tried vinegar, in addition to just soap, and finally as a last resort...scrubbed them with a teflon scrubbing pad. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but after the first week or two of marvelous nonstick cooking and ridiculously delicate care, they became just like any other set of traditional steel cookware. Everything will stick unless you use a lot of oil or butter...which defeats the whole idea. On the bright side...the ceramic didn't scratch and still LOOKS nice, and they can go into a hot oven. The only thing I haven't tried is seasoning them like one would season cast iron to make it non stick.

This is one of those tools where it takes five seconds to clean if you do it immediately and five minutes to clean if you wait. Once stuff is caked on, I would boil water in a small pot, remove from the heat, then submerge this thing in it for a while. It should then fall off with less trouble.

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!

I just make sure the pans are extremely well oiled, either using a baking spray or butter. Also, when you wash the pans, be sure to hand-wash them and towel-dry them immediately, otherwise the finish might be ruined.

I bought the cookware for my daughter so I have no experience with cleaning it. Sorry

Try cleaning it with rubbing alcohol. That usually works to get sticky stuff off of things.

What did you clean in it?Did you try cleaning with a steal wool without soap on it. A fine grade. Can get it at any hardware store. Use dawn liquid dish soap.will have to scrub to remove black marks.The pot should be fine to use since you used dishwasher soap witch is used all the time for cleaning dishes you eat on.I have canning pots that change color because of chemical reactions and are fine just discolored.

I put foil down and anti stick spray, or those plastic mats whenever possible. They are not real hard to clean, although they are definitely not nonstick. I use them for everything. If you buy them, be sure to add the half size and the wire racks that go on top. I put them all in the dishwasher. I love them. Jan

I have not had this problem . I suggest you boil some water and baking soda in the pan on top of the stove, let it sit overnight then wash it as usual, I always line my pans with aluminum foil to prevent this from happening to any of my baking pans. I truly dislike scrubbing pan and this saves me from that dreaded chore Good Luck

Much to my disappointment, I also had the same problem. I discovered that this cookware is NOT dishwasher proof. That is what the problem is. Luckily, I only did it to one of the pans.

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.

Mine didn't either. I wish I hadn't purchased these pans. They aren't good. The non stick doesn't last.I think the coating may be to thin. I hand wash with dish soap and a doobie sponge made for this type of cleaning.The pots are good for liquid type things that don't stick. I never go above 4 on my cooktop stove. Mostly 3. My stove goes to 10.

I use bar keepers friend...on my pots, pans (not on non stick) glass top stove, tub, toilet and stainless steel sink...it works wonders for $1.34!

Not sure about that but just to let you know I loved my pots and pans when I got them was so in love with them not sticking but within a month they started sticking and showing scratches and all I use as utensils is plastic and wood and wash them with non scratch pad in water not dishwasher. So yes they are wonderful for a little while then not so much.

It took me a few tries to figure out how to get this pan clean. When food sticks to it, the easiest thing I've found is to wait until it cools off and then fill it with water, let it soak for a few minutes, and then scrub it clean. Usually just a few minutes in water loosens up anything that's stuck. Otherwise, a couple of times I've used a kitchen scrub brush (the cheap kind with bristles) to deal with really tough spots, and that takes care of it. I've even run this pan through the dishwasher a few times when I've cooked things that aren't stuck too bad, and it goes through the dishwasher very well!

I use my dish scrubber just like I clean the rest of my pots and pans. Scrub with soap and water then towel dry. Good as new!

I never wash pans with steel wool or Brillo pads. They do create scratches and I believe that makes cleaning in the future more difficult. If you have stubborn stuck on food I find it best to put a little amount of dish detergent and water in the pan and bring it to a boil stir the stuck on leavings (deglazing the pan) when it is sufficiently cool enough to handle scrubbing with a soft plastic brush or scrubbing pad usually does the job. I would definitely keep metal scrubbing pads away from fine cookware.
