I have a better formula that’s not so harsh and will also remove black burned on stains as well... Rinse your pot with warm water after trying to remove as much stain that is easily cleaned Fill your pot with water, leaving a couple of inches free at the top Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat Depending on the size of the pot, add, 1, 2, or 3 handfuls of baking soda Depending on the size of the pot, add 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide Mix and cover the pot Check in about 30 minutes...all the stains and black burned goo will be floating on the surface, no rubbing necessary.

I own so much of it because I always find great pieces at garage sales and thrift stores. I only buy brand new or near new cookware. Anything else is a gamble. Old cookware could be donated for a reason. I recently found a brand new, never used, Le Creuset dutch oven (the big boy) for $3.99 so I purchased it! I don;t have to tell you what this costs. I didn't need it but was I really expected to leave that behind? I am constantly finding great vintage cast iron for nearly next to nothing so I always buy it too. My cookware is no longer about necessity but rather about finding great treasures for great prices. several days ago I found two, a 12" and 10", Iron Clad pan/skillets which I don't need, but at $2.99 each and nearly brand new, I had to buy them. These are well over $150.00 and $180.00 used on eBay! So, for $6 bucks, I got 2 world class pans. Have walked away from cookware only to come back and buy it later! I have been thinking of having a garage sale and maybe passing some of these along and making a few bucks. At the very least, I will make back what I spent. Still, I cannot see myself parting with my cookware. I actually use most of it. I cannot recall ever buying something that I did not eventually use.

We in the Netherlands use Biotex prewash in the same amount as your bleach. Slowly bring water with the Biotex to a simmer and leave on low heat for 1 to 2 hours. Change the water and clean with dish soap.

If you've got stained coffee or tea cups, just put 'em in the pot too. Bye-Bye stains. If you can dump the bleach water into your toilet tank without spilling it all over the floor, instantly cleaned toilet too. It's an absurdly simple fix, that always works.

The green Scotchbrite side of the sponge can scratch glass, hence it can scratch enamel. Get the blue pads since they are safe on glass and enamel.

@Good Enough Use it full strength, you will see it work, pour it out and rinse well when it has reached your target. For the sides, scrub them with scouring powder like Barkeepers Friend, Ajax or Comet, it's fine powder that won't scratch the glass finish. You can also use strips of paper towel soaked with peroxyde and applied on the vertical surfaces, it will stick there and keep the liquid working without falling down. This trick is also good on shower tile grout. Wear gloves and protect your eyes. Peroxyde works by releasing oxygen to oxydize things, thus "burning" them, there are no release of any harmful chemicals, just oxygen and water.

However, stains will occur with use, and we recommend filling a pot with one part enzyme laundry detergent and three parts water. Boil for ten minutes, let cool and discard solution. Wash the pot with regular dish detergent, rinse and dry. To restore your pot’s sheen, apply a light coat of white vinegar.

The reason he's having to go thru all of this to clean his dutch oven is he's been cleaning it with green scouring sponges. You never use a green scouring sponge on enamel as the abrasive in the green pads is harder then the enamel and it will score the surface. Once you've scored the surface food has somewhere to stick and stain. If you are going to use a scouring sponge or pad, stick with the blue or white ones. They won't damage the enamel.

I can't speak for lesser brands, but Le Creuset cocottes ARE enameled on the rims. They use a black enamel as an all-over "first coat," and then apply the colored enamel to the exterior, and sand or black (depending on the type of pot or pan) to the interior after that initial coat. That said, if you hit the rim with a utensil to knock food off it, or bang your lid down too roughly, it can chip the black enamel and expose the bare cast iron under it. That would lead to rusting.

It is less abrasive than BKF or Bon Ami.

Scrub Daddy and Scrub Mommy sponges are terrific. Scrub Daddy can be used for both scrubbing and regular dishwashing, depending on the temperature of the water you use on the sponge. Warm for washing, cold for scrubbing. Scrub Mommy has 2 sides. One side is the same as Scrub Daddy, the other side is a soft sponge which is great for regular dishwashing. These sponges do not scratch cookware or dishes. Both stay sanitary and odor-free much better than cellulose sponges. Food bits don't get trapped in them, and they rinse clean. I keep both by the sink. I use a Scrub Daddy in the shower for foot washing. It gently exfoliates and keeps feet amazingly soft. These sponges come in different colors, so you can designate one color specifically for the shower. Both products are about $4 each in grocery stores. Bed Bath & Beyond has a pack of 3 for $10.

@@PotatoPirate123 I agree, it's like a protective barrier, like on cast iron. And bleach is nasty stuff to use anyway, unless you're removing mold or some kind of serious infectious stuff.

Do you have any tips on how to clean the outside of the Le Creuset or other enamel cookware?

We usually just use the green scrub with dish soap. Maybe once or twice a year some baking soda and vinegar. good luck

Marsha Lee Easy Off Heavy Duty oven cleaner does the trick. I do it outside; let it sit for 15 minutes or 15 hours. Best preventive solution is to wash thoroughly with soap and rinse very carefully after each use. It’s the cooked on oil/fat that creates the guck.

I just soak mine overnight I'm a deep sink of very hot water and a little dish soap. Then, I use a magic eraser on any marks. I use my le creuset several times a week and it's years old but still looks like new.

What if the enamel is chipped inside? Will the bleach adversely affect the iron?

I have done this...my pan is old and the enamel is rough to the touch after cleaning..can it be buffed ir pollished?

Ok, but what’s the big deal about a stained Dutch oven? It works just as well as a non-stained Dutch oven.

Looks are common courtesy to your guests, mostly. Other than that, you have OCD people, which I know I suffer from on certain things (most). Then you have closet OCD people, usually called clean freaks.

Wiping with oil after cleaning is for bare cast iron, to keep it from rusting. Enamel-coated cast doesn't need to be oiled, because the enamel protects the iron. Just wipe it dry and put it away.

Only uncoated cast iron needs oiled after cleaning. Enamel doesn’t rust unless it’s chipped in spots.

You'll prolly want to oil the rim of the lid & pot since they're usually bare iron. Don't let the oil run onto the enamel tho...

Stuff like this I just scrub with Ajax and let sit a minute. Works great

@claudiaschneider9495

Doesn't that scratch/damage the surface? I remember when everyone used Ajax on their tubs.....and eventually everyone's tubs were so scratched that they always looked dirty. I have been using baking soda (less toxic) both on my tub (and sinks), and on my dutch oven. Though, as I mentioned above, the baking soda is not working as well on the outside of the pot on older stains....so I may try immersing/soaking the whole pot in a bleach and water mix in the basement sink.....

@@claudiaschneider9495 it will scratch some stuff but not porcelain/ enamel or other hard things. It will scratch acrylic/ fiberglass tubs though. Baking soda works well too.

Will the bleach erode the enamel over time?

Add 2 cup hot water, drop off dish soap and 2 paper towels.shake well, a but if a work out, holding lid in place. Do this until you sew it is clean. Drain and rinse! No toxic chemicals!
