How to Clean Your Calphalon Pans

View the full cleaning instructions on Calphalon’s website.

Cleaning

Do not clean Calphalon hard-anodized cookware in a dishwasher. Dishwasher detergents will damage the surface. Dishwasher use will void your Lifetime Warranty.

Hand wash your cookware thoroughly inside and out after every use. Wash with hot, sudsy water and a dishcloth or Scotch-Brite™ pad and a recommended cleanser (see below). After cleaning, the pan should have an even color tone and matte finish. Dark, shiny, or hazy spots on hard-anodized surfaces mean that some residue remains on the cooking surface.

Recommended Cleaners
• Ajax® (with or without bleach), Comet (with or without bleach), Dormond

Recommended Cleaning Pad
• Scotch-Brite™

Very interesting. They recommend Ajax, Comet or Dormond for hard anodized, but Bar Keeper’s Friend for infused and stainless. BKF contains oxalic acid to brighten things up.
