I just bought my first few pot and pans "Calaphon" stainless steel trip-ply
I used my new 10" skillet tonight, and cooked pork chops. I heated the pan first, added olive oil, let it heat, then added chops. After I was done, cleaned it immediately under water, and noticed white cloud looking areas on the bottom of the skillet. They won’t wash or rub off
Do I need to return these? I did buy them for the look as well.

Vinegar, or citric acid soaks are the usual treatment for calcium carbonate deposits around here. Should take care of most sulphates too.

Sprinkle the 'cleaned' dry pan with coarse salt - add any kind of inexpensive vinegar, just enough to wet the salt to a wet paste, scrub the pan with this paste with a paper towel for 30 seconds or so, using the salt as a mild "abrasive", while the vinegar dissolves the cloudiness. Rinse with water and dry. Voilá.
This is simpler and cheaper than using any kind of kitchen cleanser, and no toxic residue.

It's hard for me to believe the answer is mineral deposits. After one cooking and one wash, white cloudy marks on the inside bottom of a brand new pan, and in fact on all the pans and pots I used from this new set. And yet I have another stainless steel pan that I've had for years that has never accrued this mottled, unattractive staining. I think it must be a cheap quality of stainless steel, and maybe the fact that the tri-ply also has aluminum in it.
