Anyone have a "film" developing on the outside of their executive cookware? Anyway to clean it or should it be returned? Thanks....
 
are you using Pam or any sort of spray on it?
 
oh duh.. I just realized you said outside... sorry
 
I get a film on the inside and use white vinegar to remove that.....so you might try that on the outside since the surfaces are the same??? Hope that helps
 
White Film?Are you putting this in your dishwasher?
 
I put my pans in the dishwasher big mistakeHello, does the outside look chauky? Before I became a consultant with PC I didn't realize that I was supose to look at the care info cards. Not thinking I put them in my dishwasher. BIG MISTAKE...the inside of my pans are fine but the outside is horrible its very white an chauky I have no idea how to fix it. I called PC and they didn't know either. I wonder does the newer pans (forgot what they are called at this moment... you can tell I haven't done much lately with my PC business) get that way if you put them in the dishwasher as well. I just have this thing were I have to put things in that I cook with in the dishwasher.

Sounds like she must have put the pan in the dishwasher. I didn't ask and neither did HO. I have a reference number and now have to tell her she won't have a pan for a month and she has to pay for shipping. She bought the pan in February so it hasn't been that long.
 
I have the saute pan from the Executive Cookware line (came w/my new consultant kit) which I've washed in the dishwasher. My pan is fine. I used a liquid soap so maybe that's why I don't have this issue?? I have no clue...just asking.
