Hi Can anyone tell me how to clean blackened stainless steel pans ,
the pan is clean but the steel has gone black in areas , inside and
out. (presume her indoors let it boil dry!) Is it possible to make it
shine again ?

Scouring pad and baking soda may be worth a try.


I'd use a stainless scourer after a long soak. If it's really bad, a wire
brush on a drill will nicely polish stainless. Stainless is extremely hard!


IME it slowly gets better on it's own.
