I like to use pad like: Scotch-Brite Dobie All-Purpose Pads, 3-Count (Pack of 8) Price:$23.92 Free Shipping for Prime Members. I saw these on Amazon, but I like ones that have cloth on one side even better as they are softer to hold. I know I should wear gloves to wash dishes, but I don't. I sometimes use a brush like: OXO Good Grips Dish Brush by OXO Price: $4.99 Free shipping for Prime members when buying this Add-on Item. This helps for the first clean over and then I scrub with those pads if needed. I pretty much use those two things to wash all my dishes. You can put the pads and the brushes in the dishwasher to clean them. I like to use pad like: Scotch-Brite Dobie All-Purpose Pads, 3-Count (Pack of 8) Price:$23.92 Free Shipping for Prime Members.

I hand wash mine with mild soap and warm water, reshape them and air dry. So far, so good!

I also would use straight dish detergent and a non-stick pan. Goo be gone might help too, but I'd try non stick pad first. I love, love, love, these pans.

We use the dishwasher and hand wash the pan without any problems. Hand wash is just easier for us, we use few pans and dish's. The rubber handle is rated for 450 degrees so the hot water and dryer should be fine.

Hello Ms. Scruggs, Actually, I never put them in the dishwasher, always washed them by hand with a soft scrubber immediately after I cooked with them. For a set of stainless steel pots, I love their performance, quality and style. I like to use a metal cleaner to keep the copper bright. Best not to use high heat, okay on medium because the copper conducts well. Enjoy!

I use a damp cloth. If needed, use just a speck of dish detergent but be sure to thoroughly remove all the soap

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

Brian,One other thing. Use a product called Barkeeper's Friend to clean your stainless steel cookware. It's like comet cleanser but made especially for stainless steel. It will keep the pots looking new and clean and eliminate those bluish colors that sometimes end up on the pots during dish washing.James

My daughter says she has washed her pans by hand to be sure it won't get ruined--she put it in the dishwasher once and it was ok but she prefers not to. Hope this was helpful :)

I wash by hand with hot/warm soapy water. I don't recommend washing in the dishwasher. I absolutely love the two pans I own!!! Have owned one for 13+ years and purchased the other within the last year.

The instruction manual which accompanied the pot says it can go in the dishwasher, but it will eventually dull the surface. It won't damage the surface or impair performance but you paid a lot for this beautiful cookware so when cool, hand wash it. If food is baked on just soak cooled pot in warm water for 20 minutes, and you can use a plasic scrubber sponge, not steel wool. The pot actually cleans up really easily.

Indeed, do not throw them in the dishwasher. It ruins the life time, this goes for every pot and pan. If it says dishwasher proof do not do it, hand wash every pot because this way you do not ruin the lifetime. It is so easy to clean that washing is done in a minute. Use always a soft sponge. Yes, butter if you feel like doing this. I like the size.

I washed it with mild detergent, dried well and sprayed Pam on the cooking surface. Be sure to use utensils for non stick cookware.Mine is still working fine.

I just use regular soap and elbow grease and then rinse extremely well. My pot is used for homebrewing and the bottom is a bit hazy but the sides have remained nice and shiny.
