Tough Exterior Stains on Cookware

[micocina]

Hello everyone!

Does anyone have any other suggestions to get rid of dark oil stains on the outside of the Professional and Executive Cookware besides baking soda paste?

This is the email response I received from the test kitchens when I inquired about this for a customer:


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 with
vinegar 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.

Sincerely,
The Pampered Chef Test Kitchens
