Cleaning Corningware

drizzellla — Thu, 20 May 2021 02:36:19 GMT

I have a 13" X 9" Corning Ware baking dish. I use it frequently.

I just washed it after making lasagna. I can not believe it. Someone previously used steel wool to clean it. There are now hundreds of scratches in the bakeware.

I am so upset. I am going to run it through the dishwasher. Maybe that will help. Anyone have another suggestion to remove the marks?

I would try wetting the dish then sprinke Bar Keepers Friend in. Gently scrub the scratches out using a sponge or cloth. It is safe to use on Corning Ware.

@drizzellla Why don't you call Corning ware and ask what they'd recommend? They may even have FAQs on their website.

I use baking soda or lemon with salt.

I have made a paste out of baking soda & gently buffed out minor scratches on items with a soft cloth.I've even used toothpaste.It works.

Thanks Ladies.

I have lots of baking soda and lemon juice and I emailed Corning. And Barkeepers too.

I recently used Bon Ami (no harsh chemicals, non toxic) to get the knife and fork marks off my dinner plates, worked Great! May work with your Corning ware.

I banished steel wool and soap pads from the kitchen years ago. That way no one can accidentally ruin anything.

I banished Corning ware and glass baking pans pretty much because they are difficult to clean. I prefer enamel on cast iron and ceramics.

Just running it through the dishwasher isn’t going to make much difference, The marks need to be scrubbed off. Make a paste with Barkeepers Friend and use an old dishcloth, nothing that will scratch the surface. Pfaltzgraff also has a bottled cleaner for removing flatware marks from dishes, that may work for you.

I heard back from Corning. This was their reply -

"We recommend using a non-abrasive cleaner, such as Bar Keeper's Friend, to clean any marks on your Corningware."

Maybe it's just me but to me scratches and marks are two different things.

I don't think a scratch in Corning Ware will go away. You may be able to clean the crud out of it but the scratch will always be there.

If someone took steel to my Corning ware, we would be collecting for a contract 😑

If it a true, deep, scratch, I would wonder if liquid could get in?

I have a TON of Corning Ware that I'd stopped using for this very reason. One day when my back was to the wall I tried the Mr. Clean wipes, and it was like MAGIC. Now I use my Corning ALL THE TIME, and it cleans up LIKE NEW.

I love those Mr. Clean wipes for EVERYTHING. The next time I do some heavy duty gardening, I may try them on myself.

@violann if you mean the Magic Eraser things or the the thinner Magic Eraser sheets, NOOOOOO! don't do it. My friend did it to get paint off her skin and she was sorry she did.

Bar Keepers friend, or Soft Scrub with Bleach cleans a lot of things gently. Some also use baking soda. you can get tea stains out of tea cups with this.

I believe that there is a polish just for Corningware that is available. It works really well on scratches and damage to the surface.
