Linda Stone on Jul 22, 2013Barkeeper's Friend. It is amazing! Most grocery stores carry it, as well as hardware stores. It is a powder. Just sprinkle on, then add a little water to make a paste and scrub away. I have used on enamel, but always rewash with dish liquid to get any of the powdery film off.Helpful Reply

Linda Grimaud on Jul 24, 2013Try tomato ketsup especially for copper bottomed pans. Spread it all over & wait a few minutes, then wash it off. Eats right through most of that stuff.Helpful Reply

Capernius on Jan 26, 2016when you have baked on, burned on residue, the 1st thing you have to do is loosen it. now there are many ways to do this. some will say to fill the pan/pot with water & boil it till it comes loose. others will tell you to use this product or that product & scrub like mad. what I do when this happens, is I spray the offending gunk with vinegar & let it sit. after a while(30 - 60 minutes) I will use a stainless steel scrubby thing to see if it will come off. if not, more vinegar & more time to sit. if it gets really bad, go to a restaurant supply store, & buy some commercial degreaser. in most cases, it will take about 10 -15 minutes to fully loosen the crud...sometimes it won't take that long. get on the internet & look up "restaurant supply" or "Janitor supply".Helpful Reply

Anne Alexander on Jul 03, 2016I am in the process of cleaning burned on grease off a couple of pans... they are the anodized (looks aluminum) bottoms... using the baking soda /hydrogen peroxide mixture... it is working nicely, but it is a slow process... I am putting the mixture on and then leaving it set for an hour at a time and it is slowly breaking down the baked on grease...so, in summary... it works, but you need to do it in stages.,leaving the mixture to set for a long while... it is worth it, it is reasonably cheap...and my skillets look New...Helpful Reply
