I cook with gas. All the pots are doing well, but the fry pans have built up a sticky film on the inner sides after just one use. How to clean?

I also cook with gas and I am so happy with the Calphalon cookware. They heat up great and evenly. And the clean up is so amazingly quick.You should try Calphalon at least one piece, you will be sold!

I'm not sure if this will help but check out this link: http://www.calphalon.com/Pages/Content/Articles/Customer-Service-Spotlight.aspx.

Every time I use the pan, the sides come clean. I have not had to remove anything from the sides. You could try taking a 1/4 cup of baking soda and add hydrogen peroxide until a paste forms, then use your hands to scrub out the offending particles. This is a pretty good and safe all purpose cleaner for bake ware.

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 haven't any problems with it, though it's not non-stick. Read somewhere that one good technique is to rub a little oil on the pan, shake in some Kosher salt and rub it in, then oil slightly again. Things sure do not stick with that. They suggested wiping it dry after, rather than washing it, to avoid needing to re-treat, but I'm not so keen on that notion. I really like my Cuisinart cookware.

I used a chinese pan techinique.1. I burned surface of this pan.( to remove dirts and coating)2. After finished cooling, I washed it.(with no detergents)3. I heated it again. And I put on oil.(2 pr 3 tabele spoons maybe) And I wiped extra oil.

I would partially fill the pan with water/dish detergent/ and heat to boiling to loosen the debris. This is a mildly abrasive product.

Did you season your pot before the first use. Google seasoning a Dutch oven and it will give you instructions. I think that is why you have the residue. Also follow the maximum temperature for cooking in the skillet. Don't get worried though because you will be okay.

We used Barkeepers Friend cream cleanser and small sponge. We had to let the baked-on grease stains sit in soapy hot water solution for the fry pan.

the frying pan has a bubbles texture each about the size of a small button or maybe bubble wrap pattern...I think it helps prevents stuff sticking to surface

I am in my 70's and wash my iron cook wear like my grandmother did. After scraping with a spoon or spatula, I use a rough surface but non-scratchy scrub pad or cloth (I like the nylon knit squares) and water, sometimes with a very very small amount of dish soap, and the pan comes clean. Then I spray a dab of vegetable oil on and rub it around with my fingertips. I then heat the pan on the stove until the oil smokes and turn it off. After it cools I store it with a napkin in the pan between it any other pans. It's easy care. Essentially you have a non-stick surface pan that lasts forever. It is much "greener" than the modern light weight pans with non-stick coatings (these chip off into your food and stop working with the slightest scratch or overheating).

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

The sticking stuff wll come off easily if you pour HOT water in the pan after use and let it sit for a while.

I have had that problem when using the dishwasher. I just lay the pans on their side for a few minutes on a towel before putting them away.

I usually wash them with warm water and regular dish soap, I let them dry on the counter. Better if you use them with round parchment paper (you can cut it previously) so It doesn´t get sticky/oily when you cook.

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.

I use a powdered soap like Ajax or Comet. Heat the pan in hot soap water, pull it out and scrub. If that doesn't work try over cleaner outside.

When the pan begins to stick, clean it with a paste made of baking soda/water, or use soft scrub, Bon Ami or another low-abrasive cleaner suitable for nonstick cookware. Scrub gently with a paper towel or blue nonstick-safe scrubby pad. Wash and use as usual. Really "sticky" pans may require an additional scrubbing. NEVER cook higher than medium heat, and don't use cooking sprays.
