I bought my set in 2005 and they look great. I've always used Bar Keepers Friend to clean them.

I'm sorry to hear that! I tried to contact the company with a complaint I had and got no response back. I wish you luck my friend. I will never buy Emeril products again

Hmm, rust is usually caused by damaged metal being exposed to air and water. Did the pans get damaged? I would not throw the set away. There are ways to remove rust from the pots and pans. I would google How to Remove Rust from Stainless Steel and see if you can find a remedy that looks like something you could do yourself. If you have any questions, I would advise calling the manufacturer and getting some advise from them. As a note, they are ideally used with a non-abrasive utensil, such as a wooden or silicon spatula, rather than with a metal one, which will scratch the interior of the pan. I hope this helps.

don't worry about the bottom of the pan where it sits on the burners. just don't use metal tools in the pan. these are extremely good pots and pans

I would use a nylon spatula and sponge with a little soap and gently rub it out. Clean it after each use carefully as mentioned after turning it off for about ten mins.

try using a bamboo skewers. You do have to throw it out after each use though

Use cooking spray liberally. That being said, I have burnt food in them and the cleanup is not terribly bad

Try boiling the item and just hot water in a pan on your stove for about 20 minutes that should take care of the problem

I washed one of mine and it discolored the outside of the pot so I no longer put them in the dishwasher, not to say it isn't my dishwasher.

I have the exact same problem!! If I could return it I would. Not sure if I should throw it away or try cooking them twice? How long have you had yours?

I would suggest you to add some detergent in the pan, then put it on stove to heat it up a little bit. It will help you to remove those grunges easily.

The handles are spot welded to the pot. There are some black spots on the inside of the pot. The cover is also welded.

Try scrubbing it with steel wool or a pumice stick. I use them as my final effort for cleaning things. If they don't work, return it or throw it away.

Once cool I normally Lodge plastic pan scrapers. If very dirty I occasionally use water and kosher salt. Once dry apply cooking oil to prevent rusting.

Try "Bar Keepers Friend". You should be able to get it from Walmart (or here in Amazon). There are a few styles of it; Soft cleanser, stainless steel Polish and regular. They should all work for getting the rust out. For cleaning the outside of the pans, stick with the Soft Cleaner variant. For the inside, the regular or SS Polish. Good luck!

You could probably remove the inner cooking pot and brown something on the stovetop, then put it back into the unit to cook the rest of the way. However the handles are covered with removable silicon(?) covers that are pretty difficult to get on and off.

I only use it on the outside of the pan to clean the inside I heat up oil in the pan then wipe it out. That will take any burnt stuff off.

I had the same problem. This item and the 12 and 16 quart pots are just junk. Yes you could probably get items replaced but you will just get junk to replace them. To me it is a health issue. We paid a lot of money for Paula Deen Red Speckled cookware. The pans so far hold up. Back to the coffee pot, if you value your health don't use it. We just put artificial flowers in it. James W.
