I've been using this pan for a while, and have somehow scorched the bottom of the pan. Can someone tell me how I should clean it? Thanks!

Best Answer

The discoloration is from overheating the pan, not from stains. The actual metal has changed color through accidental tempering, so you won't be able to clean it off other than by grinding the metal down or re-tempering it (neither of which is a good idea).

The color won't significantly affect the performance of the pan. Just ignore it.

    Start by adding enough warm water to the pot to cover the charred area. (It's beneficial to also add a teaspoon of dish soap and let it soak for at least 30 minutes.)

    Answer 2

    For me it looks ok.

    Most people will leave the bottom of the pan as-is or do light cleaning with dish soap and a "plastic" scrubbing pad.

    Other people will use a product like Bar Keepers Friend to do a more in depth scrubbing.
