Yep always wash pans inside and out - if anything is burnt on too badly I do the same as welshbookworm and boil up some biological washing powder in there and that always clears it.
I always wash my coffee cups between each use as well - I can!!!8217;t understand why you wouldn!!!8217;t.0 -
Ok it's me then (I do wash the outsides but clearly not thoroughly enough). when I moved out of the marital home I bought cheap ones, but I am about to replace them and want to keep the new ones nice.
It's not just you, all ours get flung in the dishwasher but still get black scorch marks on the outside that are a pain, or impossible to remove. We've got some coppery bottomed ones that look cool when they get used, so I can live with it.0 -
I stick them all in the dishwasher, they come out good as new, inside and out.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0

If you have a gas hob I find pans do get "seasoned" on the outside over time even if well-washed with each use. It's not "crud/food" stuff so I don't worry too much about it - shows the pans are well used...:D0

No disrespect caronc, but I had a gas hob for years with copper bottomed stainless steel pans that you could see your face in
and believe me, I never go looking for housework :rotfl:
Just every time I washed them I used aa stainless steel scourer on them, and if they did start looking dull, a scrub with a bit of salt and half a lemon brought them up lovely

+1 for the Astonish stuff.
We used it on an iron which had "overheated" on some school trousers (well, that's what the lad said) and after we peeled off the remaining "fabric", the Astonish stuff cleaned all the rest of the gunk off.
I must suggest we try it on the undersides of pans...0 -

So did I. Until somebody who creates what seems like new enamel out of spillages and MAXIMUM FIRE ALL THE TIME moved in and started [strike]ruining every last pan, pot and dish in the house[/strike] taking over the cooking whilst I went out to work. Turning a brand new copper bottomed enamel pan sludge brown inside and out within 48 hours/2 meals is the record so far.I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll0 -

I must be a paid up member of the mucky brigade.
I wash properly on the inside and any food stains on the outside plus a wipe over to get any grease off. But if a bit of a layer build up on the outside, so be it. Can't be doing with overnight soaking or anything like that. Don't see the point - I'm not eating off that bit and it's not leave my any grease marks on anything else so if there's a bit of discolouration I'm not fussed.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0 -

thats what mine are though brushed steel with gas hob so you can't see your face in them but they are fine to clean with a brillo pad if need dictates. Though, I am covetting some copper pans.. they just look beautiful... I'd possibly just hang them on the wall and never use them!
I always use a bigger pan than I could get away with too.. so there are very few dribbles on the outside to burn on... just as a thought.. maybe size up a pan and the outsides are less grotty after cooking.
My nanna used to help me by washing my pots and she would wash them in near cold water and draw a circle in the dirt on the plate then put it on the drainer so it all needed washing again.. and my mil only washes the tops of plates and prongs of forks and not always well either.. I check them carefully before use..LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0
