I'm sure there have been numerous posts here about cleaning stainless
steel, but I want to share my experience anyway.


Snip good story

Lo and behold, to my astonishment, the first application of Bar
Keeper's Friend cut about half the black buildup off the pan. I applied
some more, making a nice thick paste and letting it sit for a few
minutes. With only minimal rubbing with Scotch-Brite, the rest of the
pan came spotlessly clean. I was freaking amazed.

What is IN this stuff? Should you be using it with bare hands? Should
you be using it around food at all? If it can do THAT to a baked on
mess like I had, what can it do to things you (presumably) want to
keep?

Anyhoo, that's my story. I'm sticking to it, and I'm keeping a can of
this stuff in my cleaning cupboard from now on.
