    Pour isopropyl alcohol on the rust, heat it for a few minutes, then wipe with a dry cloth.

    Community Answer
    Put a little bit of cream of tartar on a wet cloth and rub it over the surface, then massage the cream of tartar away with a soft-bristled brush.

    Whats the point in oiling a pan if it is suppose to be non-stick? Why have any pans that can emit toxic poison when subjected to high heat?

    Some people believe that Teflon pans are toxic; a good alternative is ceramic pans that do not emit toxic fumes. As for the oils, I choose not to oil non-stick pans, especially if they are ceramic.

    How do I remove the sticky coating on my nonstick waffle iron plates? They are not removable.
    Community Answer
    Try Brillo pads or steep it in boiling water and washing-up liquid. However if it's not removable, you may just need a new pan.

    I have Circulon frying pans that I hand wash. There are small brown spots (burned oil?) on the stainless steel piece at the base of the handles that connect to the pans. How do I remove those? Thank

    It is very hard to get off. Does it also occur on the bottom of pan? If so, use bar keepers friend. This doesn’t take it all off but it helps.
