Cleaning carbon off non stick pans

David WE Roberts · 2011-12-04T21:45:02+00:00

O.K. it shouldn't be there.Google hasn't given me much help.I am trying the soaking in a biological washing liquid, but this doesn't seem to be shifting it very much.Has anyone a good method of cleaning accumulated carbon off non-stick frying pans to restore the non-stickability or at least reduce the stickability?If it was a normal pan I'd just replace it, but it is an electric frying pan so the replacement cost is much higher.CheersDave R

Def not a good idea for non-stick coated aluminium, any pits in the non-stick and the caustic will open up a cavity under the coating, ruining the pan.

Bleach. Works for me every time.

I use 91% rubbing alcohol to clean guns before i switch to oil. Tried it on nonstick cookware this afternoon and it got most of the carbon off in 15 minutes of soaking and a little friction with a rubber bottle brush then a blue Scotch-Brite pad.
