    I have a better formula that’s not so harsh and will also remove black burned on stains as well...
    Rinse your pot with warm water after trying to remove as much stain that is easily cleaned
    Fill your pot with water, leaving a couple of inches free at the top
    Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat
    Depending on the size of the pot, add, 1, 2, or 3 handfuls of baking soda
    Depending on the size of the pot, add 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide
    Mix and cover the pot
    Check in about 30 minutes...all the stains and black burned goo will be floating on the surface, no rubbing necessary.

This particular 5Qt I own looked pretty good except for a stubborn brown stain right in the middle. Well, I have to say that a little more than 24-hours later the stain is completely gone and it looks brand new!! I should also mention that I own more cookware than any man without a restaurant should ever own! That being said, I am always looking for new ways to maintain my cookware.

      @@KatarinaS. Yes, I am the same way. I think that when I pass away my children will fight for my cookware above anything else! I own so much of it because I always find great pieces at garage sales and thrift stores. I only buy brand new or near new cookware. Anything else is a gamble. Old cookware could be donated for a reason. I recently found a brand new, never used, Le Creuset dutch oven (the big boy) for $3.99 so I purchased it! I don;t have to tell you what this costs. I didn't need it but was I really expected to leave that behind? I am constantly finding great vintage cast iron for nearly next to nothing so I always buy it too. My cookware is no longer about necessity but rather about finding great treasures for great prices. several days ago I found two, a 12" and 10", Iron Clad pan/skillets which I don't need, but at $2.99 each and nearly brand new, I had to buy them. These are well over $150.00 and $180.00 used on eBay! So, for $6 bucks, I got 2 world class pans. Have walked away from cookware only to come back and buy it later! I have been thinking of having a garage sale and maybe passing some of these along and making a few bucks. At the very least, I will make back what I spent. Still, I cannot see myself parting with my cookware. I actually use most of it. I cannot recall ever buying something that I did not eventually use.

      I have 3 girls in their 20's so they can fight over it when I'm gone! :)) I'm only in my late 40's though, so it may be awhile (I hope). Their kids can divvy it all up.

Stainless will also be scratched, but stainless is typically not a coating, so it can tolerate scratching more than enamel.

    The reason he's having to go thru all of this to clean his dutch oven is he's been cleaning it with green scouring sponges. You never use a green scouring sponge on enamel as the abrasive in the green pads is harder then the enamel and it will score the surface. Once you've scored the surface food has somewhere to stick and stain. If you are going to use a scouring sponge or pad, stick with the blue or white ones. They won't damage the enamel.

    For normal wear-and-tear, Le Creuset offers cast iron and stainless steel cookware cleaners. To prevent staining, use only medium or low heat settings. However, stains will occur with use, and we recommend filling a pot with one part enzyme laundry detergent and three parts water. Boil for ten minutes, let cool and discard solution. Wash the pot with regular dish detergent, rinse and dry. To restore your pot’s sheen, apply a light coat of white vinegar.

I like to cook with A LOT of tomatoes and colorful herbs and spices including cayenne and turmeric. I'm hard on my cookware and not interested in babying my pots. But this was a considerable investment and hopefully my last.

    I would use hydrogen peroxyde, no harmful chemical smell. The strenght used in hair bleaching will do wonders and not etch the enamel. Also, I would try Oxyclean powder mixed with water or the liquid form.

    • @wetrock2766
      @wetrock2766 4 роки тому +2

      @Good Enough Use it full strength, you will see it work, pour it out and rinse well when it has reached your target. For the sides, scrub them with scouring powder like Barkeepers Friend, Ajax or Comet, it's fine powder that won't scratch the glass finish. You can also use strips of paper towel soaked with peroxyde and applied on the vertical surfaces, it will stick there and keep the liquid working without falling down. This trick is also good on shower tile grout. Wear gloves and protect your eyes. Peroxyde works by releasing oxygen to oxydize things, thus "burning" them, there are no release of any harmful chemicals, just oxygen and water.

    Yes the baking soda people are what I use too and a nylon scrubbing pad where they’ve melted the nylon to make it a scouring pad put the baking soda on the pad and gently rub it all over. But better still if you bake bread at high heat use parchment paper in the Dutch oven to protect it and no nonstick spray which really stains the enamel.

      I can't speak for lesser brands, but Le Creuset cocottes ARE enameled on the rims. They use a black enamel as an all-over "first coat," and then apply the colored enamel to the exterior, and sand or black (depending on the type of pot or pan) to the interior after that initial coat. That said, if you hit the rim with a utensil to knock food off it, or bang your lid down too roughly, it can chip the black enamel and expose the bare cast iron under it. That would lead to rusting.

    Scrub Daddy and Scrub Mommy sponges are terrific. Scrub Daddy can be used for both scrubbing and regular dishwashing, depending on the temperature of the water you use on the sponge. Warm for washing, cold for scrubbing. Scrub Mommy has 2 sides. One side is the same as Scrub Daddy, the other side is a soft sponge which is great for regular dishwashing.
    These sponges do not scratch cookware or dishes. Both stay sanitary and odor-free much better than cellulose sponges. Food bits don't get trapped in them, and they rinse clean. I keep both by the sink.
    I use a Scrub Daddy in the shower for foot washing. It gently exfoliates and keeps feet amazingly soft. These sponges come in different colors, so you can designate one color specifically for the shower.
    Both products are about $4 each in grocery stores. Bed Bath & Beyond has a pack of 3 for $10.
