Removing Burn Marks From a Calphalon Pot

Calphalon cookware is durable and easy to maintain when cleaned and cared for properly. The nonstick surface of a Calphalon pot makes cooking and cleaning easier because you don't need to use oil or grease to prepare the surface. If time gets away from you, resulting in burn marks or stains on your Calphalon pan, you can remove the stains without damaging the nonstick surface.
