Cleaning Burnt Calphalon Pans

RE: Cleaning Burnt Calphalon Pans Post By nikki (Guest Post) (09/05/2006) One thing I always try is just a small squirt (or a pump of the dawn foam) of dawn and water in the pan. Put it back on the stove and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes. A lot of times that will work. My sister in law was going to throw pans away and I saved an entire set for her.

Burnt-on foods will lift off after soaking.

I had some burnt on food on the outside of an older non-stick pan and I was able to remove with a Magic Eraser; however, I don't know if you should use it on your pan....perhaps write to Mr Clean to ask if you could. Also, you could try making a paste of baking soda and warm water and see if that might work. Use a non-abrasive scrubber...like a Dobie pad. Sorry I don't have any more advice. I just think contacting the company that makes your pans would be the best advice I could give.
