Has anyone used this on the burnt marks? Does it work?
I also have black marks on the bottom of my Ex. cookware has anyone tried that yet?
 
It cleans the stainless beautifully!!!!!!!!! It did not work at all on the bottom of my exec...
 
Is it any better than Cameo or Bar Keepers Friend?
 
I don't know because every time I looked for those I couldn't find them... sorry... I'm still hunting for either of them because they have to be less expensive.
 
I found it easier to use and more effect than Bar Keepers Friend.
 
I was thrilled with how easy our cleaner was to use... I may just have to stick with it if the other is harder because I was so happy with how it worked.
 
Okay...tell me what I'm doing wrong?! I don't love it. The directions make it sound easy to use, but I haven't seen an improvement on the gunk in my pan!

Can you use it on SS appliances?
 
Not meant for appliances.
I found that in my pans, it only works on the parts I actually rub well. If I just swish the rag around w/o actually rubbing parts well, then I have to go over those areas again.
 
I thought I read somewhere to NOT use it with the Executive (or other nonstick) cookware. It's only to be used on stainless steel. I haven't tried it yet. (Nor have I tried my SS cookware! so bad!)
 
Has anyone used it for the SA peices yet?
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some effective methods to remove burnt marks from cookware?

Some effective methods include using a paste of baking soda and water, soaking the cookware in vinegar and water, or using a commercial cleaner specifically designed for cookware. Scrubbing with a non-abrasive sponge can also help lift the burnt marks without damaging the surface.

Does using baking soda really work for burnt marks?

Yes, baking soda is a popular and effective option for removing burnt marks. When mixed with water to form a paste and applied to the affected area, it can help break down the burnt residue. Letting it sit for a while before scrubbing can enhance its effectiveness.

Are there any specific products recommended for Pampered Chef cookware?

Pampered Chef offers a range of cleaning products designed for their cookware, including their own Cookware Cleaner. This product is formulated to safely clean and restore the shine of their cookware without causing damage.

Can I use steel wool or abrasive pads on my cookware?

It is generally not recommended to use steel wool or abrasive pads on non-stick or coated cookware, as they can scratch and damage the surface. Instead, opt for non-abrasive sponges or cloths to maintain the integrity of the cookware.

How can I prevent burnt marks on my cookware in the future?

To prevent burnt marks, always use the appropriate heat settings for your cookware, avoid preheating empty pans, and monitor cooking times closely. Additionally, using cooking oils or sprays can help create a barrier that reduces sticking and burning.
