I accidentally burnt corn in my calphalon pan, the bottom has burnt corn and is blackened, will this take off the burnt stuff?

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

I only use the Dormond on the outside of the Calphalon cookware, not on the inside. For your burnt on corn inside the pan, I would suggest using Coke a Cola, not Pepsi, by putting it in the pan to cover the burnt area and heat it until it boils. Then take it off the burner and let it sit over night.the next day is should be soft enough to be removed. You may have to use one of those soft plastic scrub pads. If soaking a rusted nut and bolt in coke over night will loosen it, then it should work on your problem. Good luck.

I have used it to remove blackened spots on the interior of my pans, but I did it a little at the time, over a period of days, scrubbing gently. Eventually all the black was gone. The pans don't look "new" again, but they don't seem to have lost their non-stick quality, either.

My problem was similar to yours - burnt pasta sauce. I soaked the inside of the pot with hot water and the new Dawn Ultra. The next morning the bottom scrubbed clean but left a dark stain. The stain was completely removed using the Dormond product. Cheers.

Just use an SOS pad or a cleanser such as Comet. I have burned things in the past and have found they release really well if you boil water in the same pan and then gently pry up the burned stuff with a Teflon utencil.

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.

My problem has always been outside on the bottom. I would soak till corn got soft enough to remove. Then use the Calphalon product. I think it's the only option. Will the pot is usable? I don't know. Be gentle.

Thanks for the info! I broke my old 1 1/2 quart corningware -- and didn't realize the new stuff wasn't safe on the stove top. Why did they change a good thing?

I don't know I use gas burner. If you don't get your answer from Amazon users might try emailing Calphalon themselves.

Yes, I've had cheese melt and burn on it from a grilled cheese sandwich, wiped off with a paper towel. Looked like I hadn't used the pan at all!

I would think so for Corning Ware if it's oven/burner safe. Personaly I think this thing has become a waste of money as it defeats the purpose of an induction burner and limits your use of whatever pot or pan isn't magnectic. It loses true heat and takes just as long on a regular burner.

You're probably cooking it too long. Watch and listen as the corn pops. When the rate of popping slows down [see directions on bag], stop the microwave and note the time used to get to that point. Check your popcorn to see how much is still unpopped and whether it is burnt. With a little experimentation you can get a nice result. I've never been able to pop all the kernels without burning, but you can remove the popped corn and then tape up the bag and return the unpopped kernels for more heating.

When I used mine I was burning Birch which burns great, but because of the oil content, it really blackens the bottom of the pot. About half of it washed off with no problem at all. The other half took some scrubbing and some serious elbow grease. 98% of the char came right off the pot. The other 2% seems to be stuck on there for now. So yes, it will "char" your pot. But if you use wood as a fuel source with any stove, you'll have some char and ash to clean here and there. Over all, I would still say that the Solo Stove and Solo Pot are a pretty dang good set up.

We used our Chinook Trekker Set camping this summer. Biscuits were a problem and left residue that will NOT come out regardless of the scrubbing (short of steel wool which would ruin the Anodized coating). The bottoms got blackened, but I'm not sure if this is a problem or even avoidable. Since then I've learned you are supposed to cook over COALS not open flames... WHOOPS. I'm sure it would have been fine had I known that little fact.

Hmmm. Mine is pretty well seasoned so nothing really sticks even when I overcook. I wonder what would happen if you heated it up again (with good ventilation so your smoke alarm doesn't go off!). Maybe it would burn off like what you'd do with your gas grill. It might even help to brush some cooking oil on the remnants to help them burn/flake off. Otherwise I guess you can try just scraping with something that won't scratch it too much; maybe try wetting the grills a little by placing some wet cloths on them (since you can't actually soak them); then either scrape or see if it will cook off once the burnt stuff is softer. Good luck. I hope I'll be able to see a response that states how you made out. Hmmm. Mine is pretty well seasoned so nothing really sticks even when I overcook.

That's probably ok. I ended up ruining mine be repeatedly heating it without anything in it (I kept getting the burner knobs mixed up). Eventually the enamel coating popped off the iron core. So there is some temperature sensitivity in the enamel coating. Granted, I was stupid. I should have been more careful. :(

If you don't want your pots and pans to have that charred look that goes with camping simply take a small amount of regular liquid dish soap (not a special environmentally friendly one) and rub a light coating all over the outside of the pot or pan. It will appear blackened after cooking however when it comes time to clean up the outside will clean up very easily with minimal to none of the black charring left on the outside of the pot!

I use a silular model on my gas cooktop all the time.. I find that a higher heat setting works better.. The more heat, there is, the quicker the corn pops and less time for the time there is for first corns poped to get burned. I use it to make kettle corn, I just use 2 teasoons of oil, 1/2cup of suger, a little salt, heat that up and put in a 1/2cup of corn.

Yes. Everything I've baked on it has turned out wonderful! No burned edges or bottom. I highly recommend this pan.

IF let's off a fair amount of smoke. I was not very happy, and would net rocommend. For me, the problem I had was it got too hot, even on the lowest of settings for my gas burner. Also, it's impossible to clean, without scraping of the coating. the last time I used it was to sear tuna. I let it sit for a day and scrubbed very hard to remove the residue. I used a sponge,then a soappad, becasue the sponge did nothing for the black residue ledt behind. I scrubbed so hard some of the costing rubbed off, and there is still residue left? Hope you have better luck and this was helpful

Yes, that is what I currently use it on. I set the temperature quite high and when the popping starts to slow alot, I remove it to prevent burning the corn.

I use this frequently on our gas stove top. The pan completely covers the gas flame--no threat at all to the wooden handle. For the person who complained that the "gear strips" and will not turn when the corn pops; reverse stirring direction for just a couple of turns to dislodge any stuck corn kernals and then continue stirring in the "regular" direction. Works for me.

No. Look for old Corning-ware pans. Some were for stove top. But not the new ones.
