Do you have problems cleaning this pot since it doesn't have a non-stick surface?

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!

Like other quality SS pans, these are not hard to wash. I fill w/soapy warm water & let sit for a few minutes, then use a Dobie pan (nylon mesh over sponge) to clean it. For baked on crud, Dawn Power Dissolve spray works great. If you get whitish areas or just want to make it look new, Bar Keepers Friend powdered cleanser is fantastic. I find it cheap at Family Dollar, & a container lasts a very long time. PS-- If you are bringing water to a boil, don't add salt until it's very hot & stir to dissolve. Undissolved salt will make pit marks in any SS pan.

No problems with the pots. I don't use the frying pans though because everything sticks to them.

I didn't and still love ours. Use it all the time. It is showing some signs of wear but less than other high quality non-stick pans.

I've had mine for over one year now. Used it hundreds of times. The nonstick surface has not scratched and nothing sticks. It's far better than Teflon coated pans. A durable and completely nonstick surface.

I do not have this problem. I always wipe the outer pot with wet tea towel, then again with dry tea towel before putting it away.

I'm assuming you mean the cook pot. NO, it is not stainless it is a non-stick surface.

It does not have a non stick surface. It is however stainless steel and is easy to clean.

I have had no problem at all. One thing to remember with "Stainless" steel.... it can stain. Sort of an oxymoron I know but I work in the steel business. This grade of steel in these pots is a high quality and any staining will be minimal. It is easily removed with Barkeeper's Friend Cookware Cleaner. Also, I don't use the dishwasher all the time for my stainless pots. The highly alkaline detergent in dishwasher detergent is terrible on stainless steel and will cause the staining fast. It will also dull the beautiful mirror finish over time. These pots are so easy to clean. I just use a dish sponge and wipe em down. If I happen to burn something or I notice some spotting on the pots, I use Barkeeper's Friend Cookware Cleaner and it cleans right up. They look brand new still!

I don't recall because I returned the pot due to the fact that after only a few uses, the non-stick surface began to flake and peel off. I guess it worked so well that it wouldn't stick to the pot!

Yes. I didn't have a problem cleaning it. It's cast iron, so look up instructions for cleaning cast iron pan.

No, because the pot lifts out from the base for cleaning unless there is really a mess all you need to do is wipe down the base with a damp cloth to keep it clean.

Hi Arwen. We have not yet used this is non stick pots, mostly we have used it in the cup which comes along with and it is very handy and effective. Everyday My wife keeps telling me how good it is. Having said that, i think there is a strong possibility that there will be scratches on non-stick coating pots!!

If you're asking if it has a non-stick coating, no, it doesn't have that. It's a good quality ceramic and I have had no trouble cleaning. I generally give it a good hot, soapy soak and use a nylon scrubby.

Yes, it has a great non-stick surface. I was concerned that it would not hold up when I use the wok at the highest setting (Sear) but so far after a year it still looks good. (Its a little discolored, but no peeling or failure of the coating)

no. it is not the 'non-stick' kind. i always grease the pan. it is VERY easy to clean though.

No, but I've found the more I clean my pan (I use Barkeeper's Friend soft liquid cleanser), the less food tends to stick to it even though it doesn't have a non-stick surface.

It's very easy to clean. I just rinse it out most of the time, other times I wash it in soapy water. Love this pot

I have had mine for over a year. The non-stick surface has just come off in a couple of spots inside recently. A little disappointed, as I do use it often. Mainly for cooking pasta, making spaghetti sauce, etc.
