[StacieB]

Ok what should I do. I have used my pot twice since I got it from POR. I have only hand washed it. Today I was putting it away and there is a white film on the inside bottom. I scrubbed and scrubbed and it wont come off. What should I do?

Hi there, I'm sorry to hear about the white film on the bottom of your pot. This can happen sometimes when cooking with certain ingredients or using hard water. Here are a few tips to help remove it:1. Try soaking the pot in warm water with a few drops of dish soap for about 30 minutes. Then, use a soft sponge or cloth to gently scrub the film off.2. You can also try using a mixture of equal parts vinegar and water to soak the pot for about an hour before scrubbing it off.3. For tougher build-up, you can make a paste with baking soda and water and apply it to the affected area. Let it sit for about 15 minutes before scrubbing it off.Remember to always use gentle cleaning methods and avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as they can damage the surface of your pot. I hope these suggestions help and your pot is back to its shiny self soon! Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy cooking!
