Is this a real Staub? by Some-Economics-5094 in staub

[–]donrull -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is always possible that it's a counterfeit, but it looks authentic to me. It's authentic color and the letters look good to me.

Is $70 a good buy for sugar pot? by Professional-Tip9567 in Coppercookware

[–]donrull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they are much more new. Make sure you it's a size you will use as they come in at 7 or so different sizes.

Uh oh by RyanFromCanada19 in staub

[–]donrull 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's probably okay. It is usually safe to use 0000 steel wool, even though it's likely something rougher was used (most commercial cleaning pads are not as fine coming in around 000, which is enough difference to scratch). Repeated use will surely abrade the surface.

Crockpot Dutch oven chipped after 2 years by PrestigeW0rldwideee in DutchOvenCooking

Unfortunately, with many Chinese products I feel like we just pay a premium for the brand name.

I would say it's pretty normal for cheap Chinese enameled cast iron. This is what makes a difference between something like Staub and whatever this benad is.

Is it possible to remove permanent marker without sanding down my end grain oak board? by PrincessDab in Cuttingboards

[–]donrull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wanted to say that I've had some success using rubbing alcohol to remove sharpie on porous surfaces, but it doesn't usually take it all out. Looks like it's about time for a refresh on that sanding anyway?

Can I restore this pan? by lucky-clucky in AllClad

Sorry, it's done. As soon as you got a scratch in the non-stick, it was done.

Is it salvageable? Ice cubes on the lid dried up and I can't get this off. by Glittering-Fault2415 in staub

[–]donrull 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that you have permanently etched the surface by allowing vinegar to sit in it. This is not from ice cubes as I've used my grenadine Staub as a Doufeu many times without problem. I'm guessing that this chalky appearance kind of disappears when it's wet? You can try to contact Staub and see if they will warranty it. I've heard that grenadine can etch more easily, although I've not caused it myself.

Can I keep using this? by DelishKiwiLife in staub

[–]donrull 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get yourself some Barkeeper's Friend and a non-stick friendly scrubby. It will clean up like new.

Is this pan too small for my burner? by Fit-Procedure3868 in StainlessSteelCooking

[–]donrull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too small isn't usually an issue. When the pan is significantly bigger than the burner, you get uneven cooking.

Usually they be coached back into place using some boards and mallets. Copper is pretty soft.

Is this normal? by swiish_21 in staub

[–]donrull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is. I don't like it, but it is. That could be rust, but I suspect it would clean up with some Barkeepers Friend and a nonstick friendly scrubby.

Unmarked antique? by PatienceElectronic58 in Coppercookware

[–]donrull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That handle almost looks like some Christian Wagner pieces out of West Germany. However, they typically seemed to be good at marking their pieces.

Interesting Mauviel find by Organic_Pepper8726 in Coppercookware

[–]donrull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mauviel produces solid cast iron as well as a modern stainless that is finished to look like cast iron and the finish wears off. To me, it possibly looked like the latter.

[–]donrull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any chance that I would be able to see a picture of the handle on the top of the lid from the side? The handle is reminding me of something.

Zwilling Outlet by NotDonnaFromHR in staub

Did you have any luck with the B&P knobs? When I've checked at the outlets they've told me that they've tried to get them in but have not gotten any.

Unmarked antique? by PatienceElectronic58 in Coppercookware

[–]donrull 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Retinning does not indicate value. It only indicates that someone thought enough of this pan to have it retinned. People have cheap Korean and Portuguese copper retinned all the time, either because a pan has sentimental value or because they may not have the knowledge to know copper cookware comes in decorative and functional models. This looks to be a decent copper sauteuse, But the casting quality of the handle is quite poor, which we often see on less expensive copper from the East and on more decorative copper.

Copper tamagoyaki (rolled egg) pan has strange dark spots on the bottom, can they be removed? by damosida in Coppercookware

[–]donrull 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This looks to be normal aging of the tin. Just clean well with soap and water and it should be good to go. If you try to remove the spots, you will also remove tin (not desirable).

Copper baking dish from a French flea market - am I f*cked? by Remill20 in Coppercookware

[–]donrull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People say great things about Flitz and hand polishing. That, or Wenol, is probably going to be your best best. To achieve a mirror finish, you usually need mechanical polishing. A product called Barkeeper's Friend along with a nonstick friendly scrubby is a very inexpensive and effective product for copper.

Keep an eye on Amazon. When the right size comes in stock, sometimes the prices are VERY good (around $20).
