Exec Cookware/ Bottom Looking Dry!

[obxchef]

In the bottom (inside) of my executive 10 in stock pot I have noticed that the bottom looks dry after I wash it. Let me rephrase it has a slight powderey look to it. Has anyone ever had this problem before? I tried washing it and then putting vegatable oil in the bottom then washing it again and it still looked the same. Any suggestions?:yuck:

Hmm. Sounds strange. I periodically season my non-stick cookware with vegetable oil. I just put a bit on a paper towel, wipe it on, and then wipe it off. (Anyone else hear the guy from The Karate Kid saying that?) It helps to keep the non-stick coating from drying out, which can lead to scratching.

I'd try getting a response from the Test Kitchens on that one and see what they say...

I noticed the same thing with my Family Skillet! Please post the response you get.

I sent an email to the Test Kitchen this afternoon. I'll post what I find out.

O.K. Jackie from the Test Kitchen called me back today. She thinks it is a hard water stain. She suggested whipping the pot down with vinegar and rinse with warm soapy water. She said that I could also try boiling water with vinegar also.

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue with your executive stock pot. It's definitely not what you would expect from a high-quality cookware like ours. From my experience, this could be caused by a buildup of minerals from hard water or cooking residue. I would recommend trying a deep cleaning method using a mixture of equal parts vinegar and water. Let it sit in the pot for a few hours, then scrub with a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft towel. This should help remove any buildup and restore the shine to the bottom of your pot. If the problem persists, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service for further assistance. Happy cooking!
