how do you clean the outside bottoms of the pans and what could you use on them without damaging them?

I use a scotch brite pad on outside or soft scrub. some exteriors are metal, some are coated. use scotch brite on metal but soft scrub on coated/painted.

I use the green or blue sponges that have a plastic side for cleaning. Sometimes soft scrub.

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.

You need to use a soft cloth or soft brush (Oxo has one designed for Teflon pans). Stack them with paper towel in between or better yet don't stack them at all. I've had mine a year, no scratches and easily the best set we've ever had. Just treat them nicely and they will last. Only wish the mid size pot was a little bit bigger, but overall a great buy.

Outside surface - just wipe it down after it cools. inside I just boil some vinegar occasionally to remove any scale deposits and it comes out clean.

oK as bad as it sounds never use soap on your baking pans.I was trained by some great bakers and you wipe them down as much as you can while hot.A good baker has brown pans :) .If you can not live with brown pan's use parchment paper.I have broken down and used a sos pads and (scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner) Good stuff .Do not use bleach / bleach water on metal it causes rust.Never soak or submerge under water (air bake pans ) ever ,water gets inside and moisture will ruin the outcome of everything you bake..Best of luck Baking blessings :)

To clean your pan, let it soak in soapy water overnight. If food still sticks ton the pan, add some baking soda on you (delicate) scrubbing sponge.To avoid future problems, apply olive oil all over the pan's surface with a paper towel, and beware of high cooking temperatures, alway prefer low or medium temperatures according to your recipes.

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

They make a spray for that purpose. I wet the cooktop with hot water with vinegar and and scrub if necessary with a little baking soda. Cleans it beautifully. You may have to let the hot water and vinegar sit if badly stained.

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.

I just make sure the pans are extremely well oiled, either using a baking spray or butter. Also, when you wash the pans, be sure to hand-wash them and towel-dry them immediately, otherwise the finish might be ruined.

I have used Bar Keeper's Friend, Bon Ami, or any non abrasive cleaner. I've had my pans for 40 years and they still look brand new! Another tip: never, never put them in the dishwasher!

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!

After removing the eggs, put some water in the pan enough to cover the bottom. Heat, turn off and then add dishwashing liquid to soak before washing. Hope this helps.

I used straight dish washing detergent and a non scratch scouring pad! I have also heard rubbing alcohol will work although I have not tried it. Good luck! I love love these pans!

When the pan begins to stick, clean it with a paste made of baking soda/water, or use soft scrub, Bon Ami or another low-abrasive cleaner suitable for nonstick cookware. Scrub gently with a paper towel or blue nonstick-safe scrubby pad. Wash and use as usual. Really "sticky" pans may require an additional scrubbing. NEVER cook higher than medium heat, and don't use cooking sprays.

Soap and water with a scrub brush should work just fine. I bought an additional non-stick pan in another brand for things like eggs that stick so I quit using my Duxtop for pancakes and eggs.

Like another reviewer mentioned, I use Goo Gone. Pour a couple of drops directly into the pan. I rubbed the glue off using my fingers, which took a couple of minutes, then wiped all of the goo gone out with a paper towel, then washed the pans with hot water and dish soap.
