I have the Calphalon commercial set and my pans have built-in grease that I can't get off. Will this cleaner degrease them?

I think it is most effective if used to clean after each use where there appears to be residue.

Baking soda, barkeeper, or bon ami works better with a non-abrasive sponge, make into a paste and ad in a circular motion. Let set for a while and then repeat as necessary. Hope this helps BUT remember clean after each cooking episode so the build-up is less. . Good Luck .

I have had much better luck with Bar Keepers Friend. I do not recommend Calphalon Dormond as I found it ineffective.

Not a problem! Just make sure you have something to catch the grease from the burgers. I always put a small sheet of foil under the broiling rack. It catches the grease and makes for a quick and easy cleanup.

This will remove the oil and grease. I have cleaned things with this that I thought were uncleanable. Believe me, this product is wonderful

I would not go to that much mess. I would not go to that much mess. Dig the old grease out with a narrow blade, take soft absorbent cloth and a screw driver and wipe the excess out and don't worry about some being left behind. It is not contaminated grease.

My only Calphalon pan is their roasting pan. I believe that I see what you are talking about on mine( I just looked in good light). I must say that I hand wash in really hot soapy water and rinse in hot water and towel dry immediately after the rinse. I am not trying to be a wise guy with my answer but, I do not have Emerils staff to polish mine and I bought it to cook with, not be a slave to it. I have not noticed any degredation in its roasting ability and that is what I wanted from it. I have heard of people using "Barkeepers Helper" or something like that as a polish. Again, I,m not trying to be funny with my answer, hope this helps. My only Calphalon pan is their roasting pan. I believe that I see what you are talking about on mine( I just looked in good light).

I use cast iron. So, I rarely clean it after a greasy pan. However, if I ever use it on my Pyrex and it gets greasy, then I sometimes use a bit of dish soap and rub it together in my hands. It is stainless steel. So, it doesn't need much, if any, upkeep. It is the best addition I have ever added to my kitchen cleaning supplies.

The catch does get all of the grease. You will have to empty it periodically but otherwise no mess. I have it on a wood deck with no mat below it.

I used brake cleaner and didn't see any adverse affects. Made getting old grease out of small areas much easier.

I grease the pan, but you probably don't need to. I usually spray some Pam in it. Fortunately, because it's a silicone pan, the grease doesn't burn on the pan and it washes right off.

I find it easy to use a soapy sponge with abrasive side to firmly but somewhat gently scrub both sides of the screen and outer ring. Handle is washed as well. This soap scrub action seems to remove all grease residue. A thorough rinse and then allow the implement to air dry - I hang it on a cup hook. Works for me. By the way, my dishwasher is my hands!!!

We used Barkeepers Friend cream cleanser and small sponge. We had to let the baked-on grease stains sit in soapy hot water solution for the fry pan.

I have only vertical stainless steel surfaces. I wouldn't think that this cleaner would remove baked on or hardened cooked food. It is a very gentle cleaner but works great at removing finger prints and greasy food residue from handles, etc. Contact the company for more specific information.

I treat my Calphalon like my cast iron pans. I rarely wash them with soap, but preheating before adding oil really helps. Have you gone to the Calphalon website and looked at their "Use and Care" tips?

Use Bar keeper's Friend. It's a cleansing powder specifically for stainless steel. I would not use Comet or Ajax on stainless steel; it will ruin the pan.

It is not difficult clean for me. I take the element out and let it rest on paper towels. I pour the oil out of the bin and place it and the basket in my dishwasher. A simple degreaser cleaner will clean any grease spatters on the dial. It is very easy to use and clean. Love mine, this is actually the second one I purchased because I wore out the first one!

yes you will as this is a food grade grease. My mixer was noisy and leaking yellowish colored grease. After all old grease removed, cleaned and repacking the mixer runs great and real quite. Hope this helps.

No that's the problem. The grease goes up through the grids and appears to collect on them--- ok so far because the grids must be cleaned every time the fan is used. This works well because of the ever time cleaning. IF YOU DON'T CLEAN THEM EVERY TIME THEN THE GREAS WILL BUILD UP PASSING TO THE INSIDE
