how to remove sticker residue and felt marker paint from cookware?

[goncalo]

thanks a lot guys, I did a bit of internet-research, so I went confidently for acetone and it worked very well. However, the acetone I have is probably a watered down version, it's a "nail polish remover", but the smell is milder than the acetone I used to have. After I use it a few times, I couldn't see the marks of the residue, the paint also went off, but if I slided my finger on the pan, I could notice it was still "adherent" (not a lot, but noticeably so.) so I went on to the next plan: cover the base with vegetable oil and leave it until tomorrow.

Does anyone have any other alternatives / suggestions for what to do tomorrow after rinsing the oil out? should I leave it on heat for a while, etc?

I use white spirit, works a treat.

If all else fails, use the traditional method - brillopad with plenty of elbow gease

Hairspray works a treat.

Hi gagomes
Do this in any case and buff up your new Ali pans, your curries will glide

thanks chewy, but I have a question: Wouldn't making the pans glide using the brillo pad (which I need to buy, btw) bottom tamper with the roasting effect?

That video really opened my appetite. What makes a "tuk tuk"? It looked like you were doing a jalfrezi w/ red masala, perhaps tuktuk is what you call it? and also, what is the recipe for the red massala you thrown in?
