That happened to mine and although I was able to scrub burned food out the pan discolored where burned stuff was and now food sticks to pan

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

So far so good for me. I would soak the pan in water and clean the next day. I haven't had any sticking problems. Like any fry pan don't use metal anything in it that would damage the non stick.

I actually just use a razor blade to scrape the burnt stains off. Hold it gently at a 45 degree angle. Hope that helps.

you have to season pans first heat a little then pour a little oil in pan wipe off with paper towel should do this every so often to keep pans from sticking around every 10 use or so

If you really want to remove the residue then use glass stove top cleaner. Apply the cleaner and let it sit and and then clean it off, repeat if needed.

use very carefully. it cooks very hot and tends to burn things. be careful when cleaning--lots of very sharp edges inside.

I would suggest you to add some detergent in the pan, then put it on stove to heat it up a little bit. It will help you to remove those grunges easily.

Just wash it lightly and spray some Pam before you set it on the burners. It doesn't need to be seasoned like a cast iron pan or anything like that.

Simply wash with warm soapy water to get rid of handling and shipping germs etc.These pans are better than my Tfals ever were.I accidently left one on the burner after scrambling eggs and simply ran water on it and the dried burnt eggs just slid off.

Wash well with soap and water, then heat over stove burner until the pan is completely dry. Coat inside and out with a very thin layer of cooking oil.

I suppose you could if you really wanted to but it won't be necessary to get the pan clean. Before I grill something like steak or chops I will spray a little Pam on the surface of the pan. If food grade silicone is not your thing then an oil of your choice would be fine. When you are finished cooking pour a little water on the pan and let the pan cool. The food will loosen up and you can rinse it away with warm water without damaging the nonstick surface. Even modern cast iron needs a chance to build up a good seasoned coating.

That doesn't sound like your pan was properly sealed or finished. You should be able to use nonabrasive scrubbies and the pan should be like new. I've used mine for years and only had issues when someone used them on high even after they were told these pans don't need high heat. If you follow Pinterest do a search and you might find a cause and/or diy fix. Good luck and I will add any ideas I find.

Put some water with a little dish soap in and put it on burner low temp for about ten minutes then scub pan clean

There should have been instructions on how to season the pan. You heat the pan up, put in a tablespoon of oil and rub it all around the inside. Let the pan cool for 5minutes, and repeat. Do this 3 times. This makes the pan non-stick. When you wash it, don't use soap or anything abrasive. Just gently scrub, avoid soap, and rinse. Towel dry. Occasionally you will want to season it with heat and oil as before, like cast iron. Do not put in the dishwasher. Hope this helps.

When you get home, seal your pans in a plastic bag with a few tablespoons of ammonia in a little cup or dish. The gas of the ammonia loosens the burned on food and charring so that you can easily wash it off. Works great for older pans and oven racks that have burned on gunk too.

I wash my pan in mild dish soap and dry with a towel immediately. Take a little cooking oil or olive oil and rub in with a soft cloth to all cooking areas of the pan.

I have several Cuisinart, stainless pots and pans. They replaced all my Teflons, happily. If you preheat on a very low flame, I believe that helps prevent burning. But any burn is easily removed with baking soda, or, if very bad, covering the burnt bottom with water and baking soda, and boiling for 10 - 40 minutes. My pots are many years old, and spotless.

I hope you haven't done anything drastic to clean your cast iron, such as has been suggested in the previous responses. If the pan is something you'd regret damaging, the safest way to clean off burnt-on cooking residue as well as remove rust would be to place it in an electrolysis bath. The instructions are easy to find online, or just contact any group of cast iron aficionados, they'll be eager to guide you...and maybe even attempt to persuade you to part with your antique pan. Best of luck.
