How difficult are these to clean? I plan on using for baking not ice cream and cookie dough can be sticky. Should mention - I wash by hand.

I wash by hand as well and I find no difficulty with keeping them clean and looking new. I just squeeze the handle a few times while washing to ensure I get under the scooper clean.

I run them through the dishwasher with no issues, but I'm sure if you soaked them in hot soapy water for a few minutes they'd come clean just fine. They are just like ice-cream-scoops, so very simple to clean.

These scoops are very good at releasing the cookie dough. I'm sure it may depend on how sticky the dough is, but for cookies such as chocolate chip, snickerdoodles, oatmeal raisin, gingersnaps, peanut butter blossoms and even dropping no bakes it did very well! I had no problems with it.

Super easy to clean. I use a wet rag or any sort of surface cleaner. They are like plastic so you can use anything.

I have washed them and re-used them many times over. I usually have to buy more because I tend to leave them at work or gatherings because I just don't feel like hauling the pans back home. You can even clean the pans in the top shelf of the dishwasher (not with the drying cycle though!), but I prefer to hand wash them. Make sure to follow instructions and always use them with a cookie sheet underneath them in the oven. They hold up well and are great, as I said, for work parties or potlucks-that way if you forget them it isn't a big loss. Very happy with them.

Just washing them with a little soap and water. They are also supposed to be dishwasher safe, but I just hand wash them. It is very easy to clean.

Never had that trouble with mine. Only hand wash. Might need to oil them a bit to see if that helps,

They are just bare tin so you need to be sure to not soak them in water for any length of time and dry immediately since they will rust around the edge. Cake does get stuck under the sweeper so it takes a little effort to get them clean. I don't care........I would rather do all this than swear and fight with getting my cake out of the pan. I had these years ago and I loved the ease of use. Hope this helps.

these are not stainless steel so you cannot wash them with water. You will receive a manual that indicates how you must do the cleaning, you just need to use a dry cloth

Hi - maybe they were not designed for scooping cookie dough. that is when they didn't stand up to the challenge - bent and not satisfactory. Very disappointing.

I have pans in both brushed and polished and don't clean one any different than another. Most of the time, before placing in the dishwasher, food can be removed with a little rinsing and swish of my hand. For those seldom times when food is a bit more baked on, some presoaking in warm, soapy water lossens it up, or I scour it out woth a netting scrubber. I don't baby my pans (they are meant for cooking, not pampering), yet they still look fabulous.

Sorry, but I haven't tried. I always wash them by hand, which I feel is far better when dealing with smaller items. Based on the apparent quality, it should be OK, but this is speculation.

I use them for soapmaking, and was able to get them clean by handwashing. They can go in the dishwasher as well.

If the dough is thick and sticky, it will take a little effort. You must pull the dough off with your fingers. Still love it for incorporating candied fruit into lebkuchen. Otherwise it is easy to clean.

I've only washed them by hand.....they are waxy material so clean very easily.....just discolor a bit with cooking.

not sure about dishwasher safe, sorry. I was them by hand. yes adequate size for regular oven. I make 4 single size pizzas and all 4 stones fit on one rack! They clean up very easily by hand. They do stain from sauce, but the cheese comes off easily! I love them!

The company says you can run them through the dishwasher, but I never do. I have read some reviews that complained about scratching or losing the non-stick ability-- I haven't had the same issues and I believe it is because I hand wash and season them. I have had my set for two years.

I would not put them in the dishwasher as they are porous stone and all the soap residue would stay inside the stone. So, no dishwasher at all. If you use these a lot eventually they will get this lovely oily coating so they almost become non-stick. But this will only happen if you a) don't put them in the dishwasher and b) don't use soap on them at all. I wash all my stoneware by scrubbing with really hot water and some course salt. NO SOAP. I don't know what you mean by "adequate size for regular oven use". Yes, I can fit all four in my regular oven and they have worked well there too.
