That happened to mine and although I was able to scrub burned food out the pan discolored where burned stuff was and now food sticks to pan

Soak the pan in soapy water, and it should clean up. If everything doesn't clean up on the first try, soak again.

So far so good for me. I would soak the pan in water and clean the next day. I haven't had any sticking problems. Like any fry pan don't use metal anything in it that would damage the non stick.

Sorry I can't help you. I've only used mine a couple of times and have had no problem cleaning it. Did you grease and/or flour the pan first?

Just rinse with A LOT of water. Or you can simmer your piece in a pan on the stove, if it's small enough.

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.

While skillet is still warm, dump in some kosher salt. Scrub under running water with a sponge or stiff brush. Rinse. Sometimes I need to repeat until the salt stays white (esp true if I cooked up bacon). Dry completely and immediately. Use a little bit of grapeseed oil to protect the pan. You don't want to use soap, steel wool, or put the pan in the dishwasher as it will strip the pan's seasoning. You also don't want to soak the pan in water because the pan will rust.

To remove burned-on food, fill the pan with enough warm, soapy water to cover the mess and let it sit for an hour. Then put the pan back on the burner and boil the soapy water for 10 to 15 minutes. Let the water cool to the touch, then scrub with a nylon scouring pad. Wash out again with hot, soapy water, rinse and dry. Repeat for stubborn residue. Use a non-abrasive cleanser like Bon Ami Polishing Cleanser or Bar Keepers Friend for general cleaning, stain removal and keeping the cookware shiny as new. Don't use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners. Although they do an excellent job of removing stuck-on food, all stainless steel cookware makers caution that they will scratch the surface of the cookware. Instead, opt for nylon-net scouring pads, plastic or nylon brushes.

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.

I hope you haven't done anything drastic to clean your cast iron, such as has been suggested in the previous responses. If the pan is something you'd regret damaging, the safest way to clean off burnt-on cooking residue as well as remove rust would be to place it in an electrolysis bath. The instructions are easy to find online, or just contact any group of cast iron aficionados, they'll be eager to guide you...and maybe even attempt to persuade you to part with your antique pan. Best of luck.

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 would be afraid to use abrasive cleaners, as they may ruin the finish. I soak the pan in hot water and residues remove quickly .

I have several Cuisinart, stainless pots and pans. They replaced all my Teflons, happily. If you preheat on a very low flame, I believe that helps prevent burning. But any burn is easily removed with baking soda, or, if very bad, covering the burnt bottom with water and baking soda, and boiling for 10 - 40 minutes. My pots are many years old, and spotless.

Don't use metal in the pan at all. That will prevent further scratches. I did the same thing.

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.

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.

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.

Wash well with soap and water, then heat over stove burner until the pan is completely dry. Coat inside and out with a very thin layer of cooking oil.

Things which have burned on can be softened, then removed. Put the pan in a large container of warm water with a fabric softener sheet lie those you put in the dryer. Let sit for several hours.
