does any one know an easy way to get this label off the pan. It is so ridiculous to sell them this way!

I love using my hair dryer to remove labels. Just blow it on high for a minute or so until its hot and they usually come right off!

Have you tried Goo Gone? A couple of sprays let it set about 60 seconds and labels scrape right off.

I have found the explanation! I called the manufacturer, and as it turns out, about a year ago they had a shipment of these go out with the wrong adhesive. The labels had the heavy-duty adhesive that was used for their shipping boxes. The woman I spoke to was very nice, and offered to send me a replacement. The label on mine is not coming off with any amount of elbow grease or tricks. She was wondering how they were still out there, since it was a couple hundred of them and it was a year ago. It must be a particular third party shipper used by Amazon. The should NOT be trying to get rid of these on unsuspecting Amazon customers! Shame.

Try lighter fluid (like Zippo, aka naphtha). This removes all kinds of sticky glue residue.

I used hot water from the tap, let it soak for 15 minutes, then repeated once. Came right off.

Try scrubbing it with a dab of peanut butter. Best way to remove adhesive labels.

Oh my, I can't remember what I did....sometimes covering it with a little cooking oil and letting it sit helps. Good luck, it's a great little pan which I use to make a small pizza for one.

Naphtha. Peel off as much of the label as you can, then pour enough on the pan to cover the bottom. Let it soak for 5 minutes & use a nylon scrubber to easily remove all of the residue.

Put the pan on the counter. Pour a glass of water in the pan so the bottom of the pan and the label are completely covered. Let soak for a few hours. It will slide right off. No goo or residue left at all. I left mine sitting for six hours, because I got busy and forgot about it. Perhaps an hour or two would be sufficient, not sure.

It is suggested that you spray them with a non-stick spray (PAM). After doing that each time, the muffins that stuck like crazy to a regular pan, literally, fell out of these. Cleaning is a snap. I highly recommend these pans!

Mine started sticking too.. made ugly cakes and I threw it out. I know they were meant to not stick for more than using them a few times. I sprayed with the flour spray thinking maybe it would work better but some still stuck. The pans cost too much not to be better than this. I thought I was buying the best brand of pan. I washed by hand each little cake hole. Nothing was sticking on them that would have caused this problem. Just disappointed. If, anyone has an answer to this I would really like to know.

Amen to the answer by Lawrence..just put some tinfoil in the disposable drip pan so you do not have to buy them..easy and cheaper to throw away the foil :)

Like Java's answer, I just pull it out. However, you may have some residue buildup that has caused it to stick. Consequently, you might try running some hot water over it in order to separate it. Once separated, thoroughly wash and dry all pieces before reassembling. In addition, you might try spraying cooking spray on the pieces before reassembling them.

I have had my pans for over a year now and have not seen anything coming off the surface. I would contact the manufacturer if your concerned about it leaching.

I believe they used to mix it up. Now, they are selling the non stick separately.

I have had my pans for about 12yrs and I have never seen anything like that. How weird. I think I would replace them so the power stuff wouldn't get in my food. You have to admit they are awesome pans! Sorry I couldn't help.

Dunno - doesn't say on the pans themselves. Might say on the packaging but you'd have to catch someone who hasn't thrown their packaging away yet which might be tough. Google is probably a better bet.

I had no problem if you follow their instructions. The key i think is first getting the protective coating completely removed. Love the pan!

You can see my earlier review concerning this issue-I had the same problem. It was suggested by another reviewer to let the sticker soak in peanut oil for up to 8 hours to remove. I think it's absurd that the manufacturer puts a sticker with extremely strong adhesive on the cooking surface. My pan was ruined by the time I got the sticker removed.

Same problem. I sprayed mine also and they still came out messed up. I won't use it nowl. I bought a nice metal pan and have no problems with it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with an uncleanable pan. I've tried everything said below, baking soda, laundry detergent, rock salt, boiling water in it and nothing seems to work. I sort of hate this pan :(

Don't use a paint - it might peel off in your food. Just polish them or re-electroplate them with a hobby plating kit.

Hello! I have reused several containers of frozen stock and the labels peeled off perfectly even after being in the freezer. I've read some reviews that say if you get the labels wet they leave some residue. I don't get them wet I simply put them on a dry lid and pop them in the freezer and when I take out the stock from the freezer I peel the label right off with no problem. I hope this answers your question!

Sharon:There should be no need to use cooking spray on the pans. Use butter, perhaps. You should also check the website and try to find the exact pan you have. they have the most up-to-date information. If you can't find the answer yourself, I'd invest the time to give the customer service number a call. If you still have the wrappers around the pans, read this carefully. A lot of information is spelled out regarding use and proper care. I hope this helps. If not, please ask again.All the best!Helen

Trust me, they are not non-stick. If I knew at this point how to send back I sure would. I believe it was false advertising from start. I had a friend research the best non-stick and he told me this was - truly disappointed and AM not happy with them. thank you for doing this survey
