How to Restore Circulon Cookware? Step by Step Guide
We don’t know if you’ve got the new Circulon Premier Professional Cookware or you’ve been using the same old version of it; if your Circulon doesn’t have the non-sticky attribute anymore, it’s time to restore it.
Even though Circulon cookware is constructed with aluminum that is hard adonized and now they’ve got this new hi-low wave technology, sometimes they just can’t separate the fats and oils from the food anymore like they used to.
So, restoring is the only option here.
But do you even know how to restore Circulon cookware, though? If not, here’s what you need to know.

Why It’s Important to Restore Circulon Cookware?
So, you’ve been using your Circulon cookware for a long time, and since you don’t see any ‘visible’ problem, you most likely won’t bat an eye about it. Guess what? Just because the utensil looks well and good, it doesn’t mean it’s functioning right.
If you see the food is getting stuck to the surface of the cookware or let’s say you have to use too much oil now to cook your food (which you never had to), that’s when you should know something’s wrong.
Besides, if your food gets burnt frequently, it’s a sign you need to take into your account. In a nutshell, if you face one of these problems, you should restore your Circulon cookware. Otherwise, it won’t do you any good. You won’t even get the non-sticky attribute.
What Should I Do If My Cooking Pan Starts Peeling?
Believe it or not, peeling is a great issue when we talk about using cooking pans. If the pan you’re using is peeling, then you’ll have to spend some cash on a new item.
This annoying thing changes the taste, appearance, and texture of your food. So, it’s not really healthy and safe to use such cookware. It doesn’t matter what amount of vinegar you’re going to apply to it, it won’t fix the problem at all.
The Simplest Way of Restoring Circulon Cookware: Step by Step Guide
Without knowing the proper rules and techniques, it might be a bit challenging for you to restore your Circulon cookware. But if you keep on reading, you’ll be able to complete the task with ease and just within 20 minutes or so.
So, sit tight, stay focused, and let me show you all the nooks and crannies about restoring the cookware:
Step-1: Make a Mixture
First off, you’ll need to collect a large or average size pot, so you can get a particular place in terms of restoring your cookware. Pour about 3-4 cups of water into the pot you’ve collected.
After pouring water, simply add 2 cups of vinegar (white) to the pot. It’s better to maintain the vinegar and water ratio. And keep in mind, the amount of water should be a bit higher compared to the amount of white vinegar.
Step-2: Heat Them Up!
So, now you have a pot that’s loaded with water and white vinegar, right? Well, keep it on your stove, and make sure to start heating the mixture straight away.
There is no need to give them extreme heat, be sure just to wait for a while till the water starts boiling.
Step-3: Keep the Cookware Inside the Pot
Once you complete your boiling task, now your duty is to put the Circulon cookware inside the pot. Remember, you should have to keep the cooking pan till the mixture of vinegar and water boils. The waiting period should be about 5-10 minutes or so, depending on the condition of your Circulon cookware.
If you see the fat/oil is becoming loose, it’s a clear sign that the mixture you’ve made is working pretty well.
Step-4: Take Out the Item Immediately
You’re just a step away from completing your “Circulon Restoring” task. The mixture of your vinegar and water has successfully removed the extra oil/fat from your cooking pan.
So, now you have to take your Circulon cookware out of the mixture to let it cool.
Step-5: Wash It Off Thoroughly
It’s time for preparing another mixture; guess what? Well, now you’ll have to collect warm water with adequate amounts of dishwashing soap. Mix them thoroughly and ensure to wash off your cookware properly with this mixture.
Don’t make a mistake by using any kind of abrasive brushes while cleaning up. Because these aren’t that friendly with non-stick pots and pans.
“So what should I use?” I suggest using a piece of nylon brush that’s much softer. It works pretty well in terms of washing almost every type of non-stick cookware.
Unable to Remove? Here Is the Solution:
The simplest methods I’ve mentioned above are more than enough to remove stains and all tough build-ups. But if you still are unable to take them out entirely, make sure to apply the same technique once again. I’m pretty sure it’ll work if you apply the procedure twice.
The Way of Cleaning Circulon Cookware: 5 Essential Steps
Since the many cookware is dishwasher safe, so you don’t have to worry about cleaning it by hand. Just you can place it in your dishwasher! But the thing to be noted, if you’re using a dishwasher frequently in order to clean your cookware, then you’re just damaging the surface of your nonstick cooking pan.
So, I always feel comfortable using my hands to wash off even after having a dishwasher, and I think you should use your hands as well to clean the Circulon cookware without damaging it.
Step-1: Rinse the Cooking Pan
First things first, you should have to confirm that the cookware you’re going to wash off is free from oil, food, and such things. If yes, you can rinse it off from top to bottom.
Step-2: Use a Little Dishwashing Soap
In order to take out oil and stuck-on dirt from your pan, it’s best to apply a certain amount of “dishwashing soap” along with the clean water. These things can effectively remove the food residue within minutes.
Step-3: Start Scrubbing through a Brush
Be sure to use a piece of nylon brush to start scrubbing outside, edges, and inside of your cookware. Stay away from using anything made of metallic, hard, and sharp parts. These can ruin the surface of your cooking pan.
Step-4: Rinse It Off Again!
It’s time to rinse your pot or pan entirely with the help of warm water.
Step-5: Wipe the Pot
Get your hands on a kitchen towel or a piece of clean cloth to wipe the cooking pan thoroughly. Afterward, you can keep the cookware in a dry place for next usage. That’s all!
A Couple of Maintenance Tips
Trust me, a cooking pan won’t last for a lifetime, but yes, it can definitely last for a long time if you use it with proper care. These are some of the maintenance tips you should follow:
- Put on gloves before start cleaning
- Compared to typical cleanser and regular detergent, dish soap is far better
- Be sure to wash off your cooking pan after each use

- Apply the methods I’ve mentioned above when it comes to restoring and cleaning
