Yes, I think I will contact Le Creuset. The finish really is gone, I found tips for taking out potential discoloration but there's just no putting it back. I've used both pots heavily for five or six years- the interiors still looked good as new before this. I don't think I'll have much success because I got it as a second. But I'll try. Maybe I can say I got it forever ago and don't recall from where.
