Does anyone know a good way to clean the outside of pots and pans?

Question

I have this red pot and pan set that my boyfriend bought me for valentines day, and there is all this gunk and black stuff on the bottom and a little on the sides. I have tried scrubbing but it just doesn't seem to come off.. Does anyone know a remedy that will make the pots and pans look new again? They are nonstick, and do not have a copper bottom.

Thanks!

Answer 1

make up a paste of bi carbonate soda,one teaspoon water to about a tablespoon bi carb soda) spread it on the base or where effected leave it on for an hour use a soft cloth in circular motions to remove oven stains or clogged burned food.

Answer 2

I always found that a Ajax or comet works good, you just can't use it on the non stick part but it really cleans the outside good.

Answer 3

Soap and water always worked for me.

Answer 4

Brillo pads

Answer 5

Brillo pad AND elbow grease!  Sounds like elbow grease has been your missing ingredient.
