self cleaned pan - now what? Is this pan for the trash?

Most non-stick coatings won't survive over 450 degrees or so. I think oven self-clean cycles are at &gt;500 degrees.

Clean the pan thoroughly with soap and water and oil it well with olive oil. Oil after every use.

I suggest a cleaner that is save for plastics called Bar Keeper's Friend. It is one of the best kitchen cleaners I've discovered over the decades. It comes in a gold color container similar in shape to what you find "Comet/Ajax" in but this is non-abrasive and leaves no residue. I've used it with a scrubby pad to completely recover a pan with years of cooked on dark gook on the bottom, that's how good it is. Amazon carries it too: Bar Keepers Friend® Cleanser & Polish 12 Oz Two Pack

The oven is very easy to clean, just use a wash cloth to wipe it down & its clean.But more cleaning efforts has to b made with the pan, either with a hard sponge after its been soaked in water for a while.:-)

I'm not sure. The pan itself is fantastic. I got it for my daughter and she says the clean up is a snap. Wash by hand and don't use metal on it and you should have it for years!

it can get pretty dirty after cleaning a greasy pan. I think a dishwasher is essential.

This is not a self cleaning oven. There is a bottom pan that pulls out easily to clean out the crumbs.

I am sorry to have to say I don't know. After all the seasoning problems I had with pan I discarded it into recycling.

I just use the plastics that I already have. I love the pan and don't want chance it. If the plastics are in the dishwasher, I might carefully flip a grilled sandwich with a metal spatula, but wouldn't scrape a metal spoon in it

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 packed mine away do to pitting & refusal of company to replace w/o receipt. BUT if I recall properly the top pan was lighter weight than the bottom.Don't know if you would want to use it as a regular pan.It also recommends hand washing.

Well; if you have the non-stick one, I hope that you didn't use anything abrasive (like Brillo) on it because that will totally wreck it. That said, it is not really nonstick -- it's semi-stick. That means that mine -- used according to their directions and cleaned their way too -- will not ever look like it did when new (less than a year ago). But it will get pretty clean if you let it sit in the sink with hot water and dish soap in it for a few hours and then use a Scotch (or similar) scrub sponge with the blue scrubber side on it. But, sadly, it is neither nonstick nor easy to clean.

I did not contact the company. I was too busy. I figure that they just moved manufacturing to a "cheaper location." My first pan was wonderful - I regret giving it away!

I believe they have a pan scrapper for this and the cast iron pans, I do use some metal utinsels in this pan , but mostly use the non stick type utinsels. for cleaning I usually just use some hot water and a brush, sometimes I have to use a plastic scraper sold by lodge to scrape stuck on stuff, but with cleaning and light oiling after use the pan has been pretty much non stick and easy to clean after use.

Use a Mr. Clean Eraser and dish soap to clean the outside bottom of the pan.

We wipe the pan out while it is still warm then we wash it with soap and hot water. Comes clean immediately. Never put it in the dishwasher.

It is so easy to clean I never looked at the instructions and I don't know that they recommend it but we just wash it like it was a regular dirty pan. I replaced the first one I had after having it for a year. It still worked perfectly but the teflon was showing some wear.
