any idea how to clean the outside of the cookware without scratching it up?? I have a customer that wants to know, and I'm sure there are others I could tell this to.
 
SorryI know this sounds like a lame answer, but try Customer Service or Field Services.
 
Cleaning CookwareTry Dawn Power Dissolver. Someone here suggested it for the glazed stoneware, too. It works well, just don't wet the area first. Let it sit for 10 to 30 minutes, then wet and wipe down. If the stains are a couple years old, it may take several tries. :rolleyes:

You can find it near dish detergents at most supermarkets.

Thank you for contacting the Pampered Chef Test Kitchens with your product
question. To remove staining from the exterior of the Professional Cookware
a grease cutting detergent (like Dawn) and your Easy Clean Kitchen Brush
might be all you need. If this has not been successful, deep cleaning may be
necessary.
*
Deep Cleaning
* To remove stubborn spots, first soak in hot, soapy water. Rub exterior and
interior surfaces with a nonabrasive sponge or cloth.
* Prepare a baking soda paste by mixing 1/2 cup baking soda with 3
tablespoons water. Apply paste to desired areas on exterior surface of
Cookware, let stand 15-20 minutes. Wipe off excess paste; rinse thoroughly
and dry.
* To remove residue from rivets, clean with the Easy Clean Kitchen Brush or
other nylon bristle brush.
* To maintain clean and shiny lids, clean with a cloth dampened withvinegar
or lemon juice periodically.
*
Directions for deep cleaning the exterior surface of the Professional
Cookware can also be found in the Use & Care/Recipe Cards provided with each
set of Cookware.**You can also try using the cleanser Soft Scrub with the
kitchen brush to remove any exterior discoloration.

Thank you for contacting the Pampered Chef Customer Service Department. To
remove stubborn stains from the exterior porcelain enamel surface,
rub the surface using a non-abrasive pad that has been dipped in a solution
of equal parts of ammonia and water. Do not allow pans to soak in the
solution. Wash, rinse, and dry before using. If further assistance is
necessary, please contact our Test Kitchen Department at 630/ 261-4059.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best materials to use for cleaning cookware without scratching?

When cleaning cookware, it's best to use soft materials such as microfiber cloths, non-abrasive sponges, or soft-bristle brushes. Avoid steel wool, scouring pads, or any abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface.

Can I use baking soda to clean my cookware safely?

Yes, baking soda is a great natural cleaner that is safe for most cookware. Make a paste with water and gently scrub the surface with a soft cloth or sponge. It helps to remove stains without scratching.

Is it safe to use vinegar on non-stick cookware?

While vinegar is effective for cleaning, it should be used with caution on non-stick cookware. It's best to dilute it with water and avoid prolonged exposure to prevent any potential damage to the non-stick coating.

Avoid using metal utensils, abrasive cleaners, or high-heat settings that can damage the surface of your Pampered Chef cookware. Stick to gentle cleaning methods and tools to maintain its longevity.

How can I remove tough stains from cookware without scratching?

For tough stains, try soaking the cookware in warm, soapy water for a while. Then, use a non-abrasive sponge or a paste of baking soda and water to gently scrub the area. Rinse thoroughly and dry to prevent water spots.
