Restoring my calphalon cookware
Cindi

02/20/05 		My babsitter put my Calphalon cookware in the dishwasher and now it looks white and scaly. Does anyone know if they can be restored? and if so, how? Thank you, Cindi

Thanks...Lili

For burnt stains on hard anodized aluminum, you might try Ajax with bleach or Bar Keeper's Friend. Hard anodized aluminum can take pretty heavy cleaning.
