We own the Calphalon Unison non stick pots. Inside washes with a sponge. Outside has grease lines running down. Will this clean without marking?

Yes it will. Have used this product for many years with outstanding results. Hope this helps.

I soak the pot in warm/hot soapy water either overnight or for a few hours. Stuck residue comes off with a few swipes with a scrubbing pad. You can get it off without soaking but it takes a lot more elbow grease. You have to be willing to put up with a little inconvenience in exchange for not getting any of that non-stick coating in your food.

I never wash pans with steel wool or Brillo pads. They do create scratches and I believe that makes cleaning in the future more difficult. If you have stubborn stuck on food I find it best to put a little amount of dish detergent and water in the pan and bring it to a boil stir the stuck on leavings (deglazing the pan) when it is sufficiently cool enough to handle scrubbing with a soft plastic brush or scrubbing pad usually does the job. I would definitely keep metal scrubbing pads away from fine cookware.

You should reference the Calphalon.com website for more information. My understanding though is that the inside cooking surfaces are different. The Unison line uses all nonstick surfacing but has two distinct types: "slide" used in their omelet pans and "sear" used in the everyday pans. The Calphalon Contemporary has a nonstick surface but does not include the "sear" surfacing. If the pan has the sear feature it will be stamped on the bottom. You wouldn't find this on the bottom of an omelet pan because there is no need to "sear" an omelet. This feature is included in some of the Unison pans to specifically sear meats. It is really a great feature and worth the extra in price if you intend to pan-sear your meats. I just used mine tonight to cook some boneless, skinless chicken breasts and as always produced a beautifully seared and juicy meat.

I use cast iron. So, I rarely clean it after a greasy pan. However, if I ever use it on my Pyrex and it gets greasy, then I sometimes use a bit of dish soap and rub it together in my hands. It is stainless steel. So, it doesn't need much, if any, upkeep. It is the best addition I have ever added to my kitchen cleaning supplies.

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.

yes, I would suggest that you spray a little of the dawn pot scrubber solution after taking the grates off and placing them on a flat surface. This baby will make them look good as new unless you've really neglected them in any case they will be clean. I am sure that you will be looking for other things to clean as well.

Neither do I. However calphalon has come out with a line of skillets that are dishwasher safe. I was wondering if this is from that line.

I rinse out the pot every time I use it, wipe off the outside with dry cloth. Works great for me!

I periodically use this on both the inside and outside of my Calphalon pots and pans. However, mine do not have non-stick interiors. I would check with the cookware manufacturer before using on non-stick interiors.

Hi,I use dish detergent. For stubborn use fine steel wool or SOS pads that have soap in them. The pads do not seem to scratch the surface but I have noticed that metal spoons, spatulas do. I use Pam cooking spray before I cook in this beautiful baker. We cooked a prime rib in it Christmas eve. Easy clean up for stainless steel.

I prefer to hand-wash with dish-soap and warm water. After being used, I fill it with hot water, leave it for some time then do the hand-washing. It is not a hard job, because it has a good non-stick surface. I do not wash my stockpot, skillet-pans in dishwashing machine. Therefore, I do not know if it is dishwasher safe or ot.

I hand wash with soap and water, it cleans up very well. I have not had any flaking in the coating and the pan has a very long warranty so I doubt it would become an issue, I have three of these and love them all.

I treat my Calphalon like my cast iron pans. I rarely wash them with soap, but preheating before adding oil really helps. Have you gone to the Calphalon website and looked at their "Use and Care" tips?

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

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.
