how do you clean this since sticking is always an issue with stainless steel?

Soak it for as long as you can and then scrape whatever is left. A hard plastic spatula usually works, but since it's stainless, I think it's ok to use metal to scrape it clean as well.

Sticking is not a big problem.,although there is some. A little soaking in soapy water and it cleans easily with a scrubbie

I always cook with oil to minimize sticking. I soak it overnight in water so it's really easy to clean the next day. Best of luck

I never have the rice stick. I have been using this for 5yr, and this is what I do. When I remove the pan out of the cooker, I stir the rice and let it sit for 5-10min. This does two things - makes the rice fluffy and nothing sticks to the bottom! Try it, no need for any cooking spray or a long soak time :)

Spray the bottom with cooking spray and we always put a couple of Tbls of olive oil in the water but we cook brown rice only. When cleaning if there is a little residue we use Bon Ami.

I unplug and let the grain set for a few minutes. That softens the portion stuck to bottom. No problem cleaning in dishwasher. It's not necessary but, to polish the stainless steel to original shine, I do a final spray and wipe with white vinegar.

I always let it soak in warm soapy water. You can use powdered stainless steel cleaner. Works great. Mine looks like new and I use it often. Hope this helps.

I soak the pot in warm/hot soapy water either overnight or for a few hours. Stuck residue comes off with a few swipes with a scrubbing pad. You can get it off without soaking but it takes a lot more elbow grease. You have to be willing to put up with a little inconvenience in exchange for not getting any of that non-stick coating in your food.

Just wiping it out with dish soap and water. To shine I use a little olive oil. Love this sink. I will never go back to stainless.

Never put cool water in hot pan. let cool and then wash. I never use soap in stainless steel. rinse out with warm water using sponge and Barkeepers Friend, dry thoroughly and it will always shine like need

I clean it with a soft cloth and dish soap. I run it through dishwadher about every third use. This has worked well for me.

I used straight dish washing detergent and a non scratch scouring pad! I have also heard rubbing alcohol will work although I have not tried it. Good luck! I love love these pans!

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.

Did you wipe them with cleaner after the last top coat? If not, that's what you need to do...it will remove the stickiness.

It's not hard at all to clean. I clean mine every time after I cook. I use a glass cleaner and paper towels. The same as you would clean your mirror. It's spotless. I clean the stainless weekly with with a stainless steel spray on cleaner, the same one that I use on my fridge, dishwasher, and microwave. It's not at all hard

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

Care would be the same as any other stainless steel cooking pan. I wash it with warn soapy water, rinse, and dry it.

from my experience with non stick pots and pans as well as stainless steel both can have food stick to them. instead of using scouring powdrs or other abrasives i simply pout water in the contaner with some mildf dish soap and bring it to a boil. let it boil for a few minutes then wash the utensil with a sponge. it comes clean evrry time.

No problem with sticking, but it must be realized that proper methods of use must be observed. It should be heated and then turned down since it is an even heated pan that holds heat properly. Also works best as a saute/braizing pan as designed. Never had a problem with clean up. It does help to clean when pan is still warm--not hot. I thought I would never give up cast iron, but I did.

Not particularly hard to clean! I use a fibercloth with some stainless steel liquid cleaner. I really like the sensor reheat function which automatically reheats without additional input.

I just received mine yesterday and unfortunately, the sticker was there. I tried scraping it off with my nail, but it seemed like I was just pushing the sticky residue around instead of removing it. SOLUTION: I ran the area where the sticky residue was under hot water; then, I scrubbed the residue off using an abrasive, soapy sponge. I was worried it would discolor the stainless steel, but it looks fine! Note: I'm not sure if this would work on the colored ones as it might scratch the enamel, but it might be worth a try!

I've cleaned mine in the dishwasher with no ill effects. It is after all just anodized metal (probably aluminum). However, that's usually overkill, since I usually thaw food still freezer wrapped, so a wipe with a paper towel or sponge with a little dish soap and rinse is all it takes. Never had anything stick to it, so I've never scoured it.

I used a product called Goo Gone, which is specially formulated to take off anything sticky. After that you have to clean the area with regular soap and water.

It is easier to wash by hand. Stainless steel cleaner used after a good scrubbing will make it shiny like new.
