Has anyone else found that after using it for a while that the interior loses the shine and has a haze after washing?

It has lost a little shine, but I still think it is a good pan for the money.

I have several stainless steel pans, and all are prone to a light haze after much use, but it's nothing a little Bar Keeper's Friend can't fix. You can find it cheaply in most stores, and it only take a little bit to make the pans shine like new!

Yes. I thought it was something I did. I still love the skillet and use it several times a week.

Not so far. I hand wash it, though. It might have a scratch or two. Things don't stick much, and I use that stainless steel scrubbing powder if I have to clean it up good, like when oil gets up the side and turns black and sticky? I really, really like this skillet.

I think mine was doing that as well. We threw it out. I scrubbed it and it was still discolored.

It's been a while but I washed and dried mine before I used it the first time because it smelled "new." Once it's been washed and dried it won't be as small as it was in the original package.

I have washed mine maybe 5 or so times, but just when I take it outside. Otherwise, it doesn't need washed indoors

No. I have seen some of my mugs fade, but that could be the detergent. My Corelleware are just fine after having been washed with it.

I've experienced the same thing, I think it just evaporates after a while. I suppose you don't notice it if you're using it every day versus every now and then.

Yes! I've had mine over a year and i wash it at least once a month. It still looks brand new.

I haven't had that problem yet with mine, but when I clean it I might try wiping it out with a cotton ball wetted with rubbing alcohol.

For me, there is a very light white coating as I'm rubbing it in. It fades quickly once rubbed in and given a minute or two to absorb and dry. I've been very happy with it. I have medium/relatively fair skin. Might be a different experience for those with darker skin tones.

I had the same problem earlier on, so I contacted the manufacturer and thought that i would be returning this. I got a prompt response. Basically it happens when oil builds up on the bottom (too much oil used or some of my oil seem to cause a problem more than others). They just told me to clean it well and dry overnight, which I did and it worked like a charm. Now I just rinse it with hot water before use and once a while put a tiny drop of Dawn in it and clean/dry with q-tip. I've had it for several months now and hadn't had any problems. It's in my kiddos' room and we use it nightly, they won't go to sleep without it. I do use it in the living room here and there too, as needed. Hope this helps :)

I have not washed my Cocotte in the dishwasher - only by hand. I find that the dishwasher can leave a white haze on some finishes, and didn't want to risk it.

Hmmm... I see others have had no problems. But I used to use this shampoo all the time, and after they changed the formula a year or so ago it began stripping out my color. I use Shades semipermanent color, applied at a salon.

It happens with some products but either washing you hands re-shines or just using alcohol wipes and it wont happen or atleast it didn't become dull for me.

I used the sponge that came inside the container. Initially the sponge became very saturated with the cleaning solution. I soon discovered that rinsing the sponge with water solved that problem. After applying I used a clean cloth to remove residue and shine. Hope this helps.

ive used it heavily and it's still clear for me, about two months now with semi-daily use. id say just avoid getting it too dirty and DONT submerge it in water to clean.

The inside is the same kind of canvas as the outside. I would spot-clean it rather than try the washing machine. Hope this is helpful!

Wow thank u, good to know/keep in mind, i just purchased mine a couple of weeks ago. Maybe try wiping down the surface? Maybe its been de-sensitized?
