How to clean ceramic pots and pans? | Easy cleaning

Why ceramic pots and pans need a little extra love

They’re stylish, PFAS-free, and cook like a dream. But ceramic pots and pans are also a bit sensitive. A scratch here, a burnt-on bit there – before you know it, you’re ready to give up on your pan. No need. With a little care, you can keep it looking like new.

The golden cleaning rules for ceramic

Cleaning a ceramic pot or pan isn’t rocket science – but there are a few do’s and don’ts your pan will thank you for:

• Always let it cool down first – Hot + cold water = risk of cracking. So be patient.
• No scouring pads – That tough green side? Skip it. Your pan prefers gentleness.
• Warm water with a soft sponge – So simple, so effective.
• Baking soda as a secret weapon – For when your pan has had a tougher day.
• Lemon juice against stubborn smells – Works like a natural fresh breeze.
• Dry thoroughly is key – No room for water spots or dull patches.

Dishwasher? Yes, but better not too often

Our ceramic pots and pans are officially dishwasher safe – handy, right? But honestly: if you want your pan to last a long time (and we all do), hand washing is the better choice. A quick rinse with warm water and a soft sponge works wonders. This keeps your non-stick coating in top shape without losing ease of use.

What you definitely shouldn’t do

Some ‘solutions’ only make things worse. So put these on your mental blacklist:

• Steel wool and harsh chemicals – They strip your pan faster than you can say ‘oops’.
• Scraping burnt bits off with a knife – Not a good idea; you’ll damage the coating.
• Leaving the pan full of water – Especially not with food leftovers. That turns into a science project.

How to loosen stuck-on bits without a fight

Did something go wrong? Don’t panic. Fill the pan with warm water and a splash of vinegar. Let it soak for a bit, then use a soft sponge with a touch of baking soda. Rub gently, don’t scrub – and your pan is ready for action again.

Prevention is better than cleaning

Keeping your pan neat starts while cooking. Let it warm up slowly, use a bit of oil, and don’t cook on the highest heat. Also, don’t leave leftovers sitting for hours – unless you’re a fan of scrubbing (but we don’t think so).

A stain here, a dull spot there?

Give your pan a mini spa now and then. A paste of baking soda and water works wonders. Gently rub it in, rinse well, and done. This keeps your ceramic pot or pan not only clean but also shiny like day one.

The maintenance routine that works (and keeps working)

Make it a habit. Rinse after every use. Do a deep clean once a week. Occasionally treat the non-stick coating with a bit of oil. It takes at most five minutes, and your pan will thank you forever.

Why a Cook & Pan ceramic pot or pan is easier to clean

Our ceramic pots and pans are designed with ease of use in mind. Think: smooth coating that sticks less, handles that feel good in your hand, and a stylish design that makes you want to leave your pan on the counter instead of hiding it in the cupboard. Cleaning becomes not a chore but a nice way to end your cooking adventure.

A happy pan cooks better

Whether you stir-fry every day or flip an omelet now and then – a clean pan is your best sous chef. Treat your ceramic pot or pan with a little attention and it will stay loyal with every dish. And let’s be honest: a pan that shines just cooks better, doesn’t it?
