Typically when cookware incurs burn marks, you can use steel wool or wire brushes to scrub away the marks. T-Fal requires a different method to clean burns.

Things You Will Need

  • Dish soap
  • Nylon brush
  • Baking soda
  • White vinegar
  • Oven mitts
  1. Wash the burnt T-Fal cookware first with dish soap and a nylon brush under warm or hot water. Attempt to get as many of the burn marks off as you can. Rinse thoroughly.

  2. Cover the bottom of the T-Fal cookware in baking soda or fill halfway with white vinegar. Add enough water to equal the amount of baking soda or white vinegar.

  3. Place the T-Fal cookware on a stove top. Set the burner to "High" and cover the T-Fal. Bring to a boil and let boil for about 5 to 10 minutes.

  4. Put on oven mitts. Turn off the burner and remove the T-Fal cookware from the stove. Immediately uncover and scrub with a nylon brush. Do not add water, just scrub to remove the burn marks.

  5. Rinse under water after removing the T-Fal's burn marks. Towel or air dry thereafter.
