About This Article
To clean ceramic pans, always let them cool off completely after cooking with them. Next, hand-wash each pan with a soft sponge and warm, soapy water. If one of your pans has stubborn burnt food on it, let it soak in hot water for 30 minutes before scrubbing it. Then, be sure to rinse the surface thoroughly with warm water before drying the pan with a towel or letting it air-dry on a drying rack. For tips on using baking soda to get rid of tough stains, read on!
