What causes these white spots on my cooking pots?

Question

Sometimes when I leave my (clean) pots out these small white circular marks form on the bottom of the inside... they easily wash off with water.. is it mold?? Anything to be worried about??

Answer 1

These spots are the same as water spots you see on glasses, dried mineral deposits left on the pot after it has been washed and dried.  They can be avoided best by drying your pots and glasses manually.  No matter what though, they are completely harmless.

Answer 2

no big deal it happens to mine too. Use lime away it will get rid of them..make sure you wash them afterwards though.

Answer 3

Might be the type of dishwasher you are using. Do you sanitize your dishes in HOT water. Give that a try and see if there is any changes.

Answer 4

sounds like you are using aluminum pans.  Its a good reason to wash your pans ASAP after using them so they don't pit.  No, it isn't mold, just minerals in your water.

Answer 5

no nothing to worry about mine dose the same i think its caues of soap
