Hey, all. I recently purchased the Costco Kirkland Signature SS pans. They looked like a lot of pan for the money, and are very well reviewed on Epinions and other foodie websites.
This morning I tried out the 10" fry pan for the first time. I cooked a batch of breakfast sausage in it using just a bit of spray oil. I used medium-low heat, and allowed the pan to cool before washing it. I washed it first in regular dish soap, but the brown stains from the oil wouldn't come off. I then hit it with an SOS pad, and that got the brown off, but there were still stains that wouldn't come off. I'm going to try Bon Ami next.
The real reason I'm posting is the copper ring at the bottom of the pan. It changed color from copper to gold with copper splotches. Is this normal for copper cookware? I've never owned any, so I don't know.

Thanks,
-Joe
