    Thanks Krithi.

    Very useful information. All these days i have been doing exactly the other way around with my nonstick vessels.

    Thanks for the correction.

    Hi Dipti,

    Thanks! Glad you found the tips useful for nonstick cookware.

    As for the Aluminum kadai, I mean the Indalium (which is referred to as Bombay Aluminum in Chennai.) which is commonly used for making Indian dishes.

    Hi Krithika,

    I have a red non stick cookware for about six month now. Lately I have been noticing black stains/spots on the outside. They seem like paint and seem very resistant to dishwashing soaps. Any ideas on how to get rid of them?

    Thanks in advance!
    Sri

    Hi Sri,

    Once again welcome to Indusladies!

    I answered your query in the other thread started by you.

    I thought the spots and stains were on the insides. But from this post, I gather these spots are on the outside...right?

    If yes, please use the NO SCRATCH Scotch-Brite scour pads (they come in light blue colour) for the nonstick pans. When washed with warm soapy water, use these pads to remove those stains and spots. If these are old stains, it may take 2-3 washes to remove them.

    Hope this helps!

    Cheers
    Krithika

    Hi Krithika,

    Thanks for the useful info. I follow most of the precautions but didn't know that we should not leave non stick cookware with water for long. Will be careful with that from now on.

    Hi Madhuri,

    Use the blue scratch free scrubber from scotch brite to remove the stains from inside these pans.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers

    Hi HG,

    You are most welcome! Yes, leaving them in the water leads to formation of rust and/or wearing away of the coating.

    We should also wipe them dry with a clean cloth after washing them instead of allowing them to drip dry.

    Cheers
    Krithika
