Janet Pizarro hit the nail on the head. I’ve been using Barkeepers Friend for decades and you just cannot beat it for cleaning and polishing Stailless Steel. I even use it for my SS sink and after 15 years..it still looks like new! Good luck.

I'm another vote for Barkeepers Friend with a squirt of Dawn. Make a paste in the bottom of the pan and scrubb with a sponge. I have expensive stainless pans with a mirror finish inside and out. This keeps them beautiful without scratching. My pans are 20 years old, and look new. Makes difficult clean ups easy.

Cream of tartar works when paste of baking soda isn't quite enough.

Cream of Tartar? It's on the spice shelf. Lots of people use it to help stiffen egg whites in meringues... It's a great micro-scrub, similar to how baking soda works, but this gets stuff off that baking soda doesn't. Non-scratch as well.

JustJane · Answer

Quite by accident (had a long phone conversation), I found that leaving the pot/pan soaking in hot water and Dawn for about 20 minutes (or more) works most of the time. Barkeepers Friend when that doesn't work!
