Any one know how to clean Belgique cookware?? It's a Macy's brand line.

I'm trying to clean the inside and bottom of the little sauce pan. It's mainly used for only cooking tea in it. My grandmother on numerous occasions has boiled out the entire pot of water, because she doesn't remember putting it on. The bottom is aluminum, not the copper bottom. But the inside and outside are both darkly discolored.

I've tried baking soda and lemon, baking soda and vinegar, and I just bought Bar Keeper's Friend. It seemed to get it a little cleaner, but it's still discolored.

Any way to get it to shine like the rest of the set?? Most the pieces are 25 years old, and still look really nice. Just this one little pot has been through the ringer.

I have a set... Mine came with a cleaning solution to get them shiny... I think you can purchase it at Macys.... I've since given up trying to keep them shiny and just settle for clean. Good luck

Thanks, maybe later on I can head over there and pick some up. See how that works out.

It seems the copper bottoms are the more popular ones purchased. And plenty of complaints about trying to keep those shiny. Not finding much else.

Just sell it "as is". I do that on many items.

I never said I was selling it... I think my aunt would kill me.

I'm trying to get it clean to make a fresh pot of tea, the first pitcher last night tasted like old and sour tea. Which it should not taste like that with bottled water (the tap water is gross) and a new box of tea bags. It's the same pot my aunt has made tea in for as long as I can remember. And numerous times my grandmother has boiled away the water and left it sitting on the stove for what could've been hours till my aunt got home.

From what I've read, Belgique is not to be used on high heat, which can cause scorching marks on the pans. So being left on the stove with nothing in it has greatly discolored the bottom of it. On the inside of the pan and the outside of the pan.

Oh, you said those were the most popular ones purchased and I know I've read several threads where you clean up stuff & re-sell on eBay, so I just made the assumption. I know. Don't assume. My error.

When I google ways to clean them, the most often found response are to people that have the copper bottom that want the bottoms to shine like new again. These are the much older ones, which don't have the copper bottoms, so those responses don't really help me much, as I'm not trying to clean copper.
