How do you clean the bottoms of this cookware

I'm sorry, but I haven't had to clean the bottoms yet. Someone in my household put the little frying pan in the dishwasher, and that was a VERY BAD thing to do. The bottom of it now looks awful! Make sure you don't put them in the dishwasher!

Brian,One other thing. Use a product called Barkeeper's Friend to clean your stainless steel cookware. It's like comet cleanser but made especially for stainless steel. It will keep the pots looking new and clean and eliminate those bluish colors that sometimes end up on the pots during dish washing.James

Clean the pan thoroughly with soap and water and oil it well with olive oil. Oil after every use.

It took me a few tries to figure out how to get this pan clean. When food sticks to it, the easiest thing I've found is to wait until it cools off and then fill it with water, let it soak for a few minutes, and then scrub it clean. Usually just a few minutes in water loosens up anything that's stuck. Otherwise, a couple of times I've used a kitchen scrub brush (the cheap kind with bristles) to deal with really tough spots, and that takes care of it. I've even run this pan through the dishwasher a few times when I've cooked things that aren't stuck too bad, and it goes through the dishwasher very well!

I just use regular soap and elbow grease and then rinse extremely well. My pot is used for homebrewing and the bottom is a bit hazy but the sides have remained nice and shiny.

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.

Cleaning it is easy, the trick is to dry it off completely before using it again. What I usually do is, let it cool after heated use, wipe it with a wet cloth , the dirtier the wetter the cloth, i have not put them under running water but i guess it could be done if need be. Once clean, dry it with a cloth, let it dry over a cloth, or take it out under sun light to be sure it is dryed out completely. I usually wrapthem in paper towels to keep them dry before heating them again.

I haven't cleaned one yet but when I do I will put a small amount of dishsoap and enough water and then shake it. The other option would be to clean it like you would a coffee pot with ice, lemon juice or vinegar.

1. Make sure most of the liquidy surface grease is removed by pouring out as much of it into the drain pan. 2. Use paper towels to remove any remaining surface grease/oils and food particles. 3.Use dish soap with water and a soft sponge (DO NOT USE AN ABRASIVE SUCH AS BRILLO OR SOS PADS) to wash the surface. 4. Rinse well and let dry. Your griddle will always be ready for use again.

Inside or outside of the pan? I've used FARBERWARE Cookware for many years and never had a problem as described. I scrub my stubborn stains with Barkeepers Friend, works every time!

I use soft scrub on the surface to get off the 'stuck' pieces and then put it in the dishwasher. Never had a problem.

I don't know as I just whip them down or wash with mild dishsoap. I do remove kettle from stove when cooking.

Make a paste of baking soda and water. Using a paper towel, scrub the pan with the paste. You'll likely see old gunk (mostly oil) coming up. Wash clean, wipe dry, then heat it gently on low heat. Wipe a tiny bit of oil (NOT a spray of any kind) around the pan and put it away. Then, NEVER, EVER use any kind of cooking spray. Propellants are bad for the nonstick finish. Also NEVER heat the pan past medium on your cooktop. Medium heat will get the pan plenty hot. My 3 year old Teflon pans still look new despite almost daily use.

I scrub the grates like Deborah after every use., I don't line the top and bottom with foil. When the 'bowl' gets greasy, I spray it with oven cleaner, let stand for 10 minutes then wipe and rinse clean in my sink.

I have not had any issue with the bottom of this sauce pan and I do not put it in the dishwasher because it is so easy to clean. I use a few drops of dishwashing soap and a paper towel and it is done. No matter what was cooked it is so easy to clean and no stains. I did have an issue with the frying pan version. The first time I used it and washed it, on the bottom running the paper towel around a sliver of metal came up from one of the grooves on the bottom. It didn't stab my finger but I was really surprised. It came off cleanly and I have had no problems since. I would advise buyers to check over the bottoms to aviod unpleasent surprises.
