Try this and see if it helps. Dip pan in dish water. Pour out excess water. Sprinkle either Cameo (my favorite) or Barkeepers Friend in pan. Using a dry paper towel, scrub pan. This should remove marks. Do NOT use Brillo or SOS pads as they will scratch the finish.

If its something stuck on I will scrub with a scouring pad or heat it up with some water in it and it'll come off. Then once dry oil it up and I store it in my stove.

Sorry, this was purchased as a gift and sent directly to a family member; however, I like barkeepers friend for cleaning such things. But if you have any doubt about causing damage to the pan I would contact Cuisinart directly.

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.

Sorry, I do not know how to restore. That's a shame. I'm remembering that the All Clad care instructions recommended hand washing.

I also keep the drip pan wrapped w/foil, just replace...clean the glass w/soap & water. Done in under 5 minutes!

I am definitely having an issue with the coating. I have submitted a question to Circulon for a replacement. My pans were bought Dec 2nd, 2013. The main problem i've had is with -- of all the pans -- the stockpot, which we use mostly for boiling things, sauces, soups. The coating seems to be coming off more and more, and it isn't inside the grooves, it is on top. We do use metal utensils, but you are supposed to be able to use that.. and it's not like we are frying in the pan (though, again, it says metal utensil safe). I'm wondering if we somehow got a bad batch, as so many people seem to say the coating stay. I am definitely having an issue with the coating.

yes I really messed mine up by ignoring those directions - but it was by cooking a sweet mixture that boiled over - sugary substance was trapped between the ridges of the pot bottom - reached an unusually high temp and pock marked the surfaceI'm now considering using this pot as a canner - thinking that it will only contain water and I'll watch carefully so it doesn't boil over (if it were to do so I would quickly remove the pot from the cooktop) - here's hoping . . . !!!

Use a Teflon safe sponge like scrubeez, and Dawn dish detergent. Soak for a while and then scrub.

You can try to contact the manufacturer. I bought another one (instead of buying the inner pot). I use the "scratched up" inner pot for foods that I know will not stick. Try this link.http://www.maxi-matic.com/product.php?productid=206&cat;=80&page;=1

Thanks. I ended up using the little green scrubby pads and that did the trick. I was just worried it would hurt the pan, but it looks as good as new.

There is a product called Goo Gone. Use that. You can not soak the pan in water because it is not supposed to be immersed in water.

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.

I would use one of those scratchy cleaning cloths first, then oil it well. Heat it some to help it sink in. Afterwards only clean with water, swish out the food with the scratchy pad, dry, re-oil and you should be good to go.

I'm sorry you are having such a hard time with your cookware. If you purchased this second set thru QVC, they may take it back,although I don't know how long ago you made your purchase or perhaps it's just this one particular piece and lid that you can have replaced, I would contact QVC since you bought the cookware through them. I personally have not had any issues at all with my cookware, I have been delighted since I took them out of the box. I hope you can get your situation resolved! Lori

Thanks for asking this. After 20 minutes of aggravation I'm ready to return this stupid pan. Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one who had trouble with this.
