how to clean pot's and pan's?

Question

I have kitchen aid skillets and pan's they are the hard anodized ones what can I use to clean the outside of them without scratching them?

Answer 1

I have a new set of anodized pots and pans. I screwed the last set up by not cleaning them right. So with this set, I intend to do it right.

I read in "Real Simple" magazine about certains sponges and scrubbers for certain surfaces. For anodized cookware, they had one called "Dobie" by Scotch Brite. You can buy it in the regular grocery store and the come in green boxes. They aren't more expensive or anything. I have been using one for about a month now and like it alot. It hasn't scratched the anodized surface at all. Just remember, NEVER PUT ANODIZED COOKWARE IN THE DISHWASHER! I was a retard and did just that.

Good luck and enjoy cooking!

Answer 2

I was always taught that hard anodized pans need to only be cleaned with soap and water. You can cure them with oil after each use (rub with vegetable oil and place over a low heat for 1-2 minutes). The more you use them and do this the easier they will become to clean with only water and a little dish soap. Also, never put them in the dishwasher. Many times, this will actually void any warranties the pans may have if you do.

Answer 3

Try baking soda. I use it to clean a lot of things around the house. It is a very soft abrasive so it won't scratch. It does a wonderful job. You can use it to clean your sink, tub, counters and appliances. It is also natural so you won't be washing harsh chemicals down the drain.

Answer 4

try bon ami scouring powder-it is gentle like baking soda, but will do the job better!
