What's the best way to get oil off the sides of the pan? I use the 10" as my pancake pan, and there is oil residue that I can't seem to clean off.

I have had good results vigorously sprinkling Bar Keeper's Friend powder and then scrubbing followed by rinsing to check for missed spots. I repeat the process until clean. So far my fry pan still looks like new.

I'll start by saying I have the most expensive chef's pan from All Clad. It has a copper core with a thick, brushed finished stainless steel exterior and interior and it's for all intense and purposes non-stick. Then I bought what I refer to as my toss pan, much like the one shown. It too is thick stainless steel, no core and more polished than my chef's pan. And It is made by All Clad. When I use if for sauteing I use safflower oil because of the high heat and when I'm done I have fried on oil on much of the surface, sides and bottom. The only thing I've been able to clean it with is a synthetic scouring pad and Bar Keeper's Friend, a fine scouring powder that won't scratch the surface. Oh, and plenty of elbow grease. It's a pain, but it works. Good luck.

I also received mine and I had the same problem, unable to remove the pan. I need to wash it before I start use it.

Yes it's more of a problem. You're not supposed to use spray oil so I just use a more oil/butter when cooking, then soak the pan in warm soapy water before cleaning. Sometimes I just soak overnight and clean in the morning. Use a Teflon scrubby pad or brush to clean.

I have had my pan for quite a few years. I have put it in the dishwasher. It made it thru. But why? It's so easy to clean. Wipe out with paper towel, fill with hot water and dish wash soap use a small sponge or more paper towel to clean. Everything inside just wipes right out. Then rinse and dry, it's as clean as can be. (Yes, and wash the outside a little too)

I had a similar problem with mine because I was using an aerosol spray on oil. I contacted the distributor and was told to put a few ounces, 2 or 3 I believe, of dawn dish washing soap in the pan and fill with water. it with water. Then put it on the stove and boil the mixture for 20-30 minutes. This worked great and I never used the spray oil again. That pan is almost 12 years old, not a scratch on it. Now I use coconut oil and the food slides off the pan with no effort. It's healthier oil too.

I think you just burn it off. I know you don't put it in the dishwasher. We oil is before every use.

Did you season it first with some spray Pam etc.. a high heat oil like canolla. it fills in the irregularities in the surface. Also since you have used it already try using Pam first for a while. When cooking do not put your heat as high as you did for your old pans For Cleaning: wipe out with a paper towel when still warm not hot with warm soapy water. Do not immerse in cold water when hot

Mine came off easily and the residue came off with warm soapy water. If its that sticky on yours you can always try a drop of goo gone that you can pick up from home depot or Lowe's. I only had an issue with one pan but after a few scrubs with dish soap it came off completely.

Soak the pan in soapy water, and it should clean up. If everything doesn't clean up on the first try, soak again.

Get the 10 inch covered fryer. It has straight sides like a saute pan. But it probably a little shy of 10 inches.

I just make sure the pans are extremely well oiled, either using a baking spray or butter. Also, when you wash the pans, be sure to hand-wash them and towel-dry them immediately, otherwise the finish might be ruined.

I put oil on one side and heated it until absorbed some of the oil and I shut it off and let it cool. I wiped away all excess oil and let it rest. I repeated this process for the other side.

Here's what I remember from mine: Don't use any abrasive cleansers or scrubbers (not needed anyway because things don't stick), don't plunge the hot pan into cold water, use medium heat or less, and don't store pans on top of it unless you use the pad they provide. Oh, and no metal utensils to be used inside the pan. It's holding up very well for me - a couple of months now and no signs of wear.

I haven't tried using less oil, but neither my daughter or I have found the bread to be oily at all, so we are wondering what kind of oil you used. I always use canola oil. I also use a bread maker, so I don't have to grease a bread pan. That could also be a problem. One time I messed up a loaf by buttering the top like I always used to do with the wheat bread I used to make before going gluten free. Bad idea!

I always cook with oil to minimize sticking. I soak it overnight in water so it's really easy to clean the next day. Best of luck

Every time I use the pan, the sides come clean. I have not had to remove anything from the sides. You could try taking a 1/4 cup of baking soda and add hydrogen peroxide until a paste forms, then use your hands to scrub out the offending particles. This is a pretty good and safe all purpose cleaner for bake ware.

I always spray pans with cooking oil and then dust with flour before baking. Maybe this would assist.
