Your ceramic pans were the prettiest thing in your kitchen when they arrived. The eggs slid around like magic, and cleanup took a quick swipe of a sponge.
Now there’s a brownish film you can’t wipe away, a few sticky spots in the center and a scorched ring from the night you got distracted. You’re afraid to scrub too hard because you don’t want to ruin the coating you paid good money for.
You don’t have to choose between a dirty pan and a damaged one. With the right method, most ceramic pans clean up beautifully and start releasing food again.
This guide shows you how to clean ceramic pans the gentle way, from everyday washing to burnt-on messes, so your pans look and cook like new for much longer.
Short Answer
Let the pan cool, then wash it with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. For sticky spots, GreenPan suggests boiling water in the pan for about two minutes, pouring it out and rubbing the warm pan with a melamine sponge.
Everyday Cleaning
Good ceramic pan care starts the moment you finish cooking.
