We will show you 4 different ways that you can keep your stainless steel pans shiny and clean with minimal amount of effort! Maybe seeing this might change a few minds about how easy they clean up! Methods include using the dirty pan to make a pan sauce, the vinegar and water method, the baking soda and water method, and the way I do it, which is regular washing in combination with Bar Keepers Friend! Bar Keepers Friend is your friend... Don't use it on your appliances though. It's too abrasive for those!

I managed to leave green beans in a small sauce pan with a medium heat. My wife asked, "Did you leave something on the stove top? Of course I said, "you did". When I got to the pan, it is was burnt inside with a few crispy green beans embedded in the dark burnt crisp. The first place I went was "Joe's HOW TO CLEAN STAINLESS STEEL PANS." I tried the first two methods. Tried the heated Vinegar & Water method. RESULT WAS EXCELLENT! Then I tried VINEGAR, WATER BAKING POWDER & DAWN. SAME REULT, EXCELLENT! My sauce pan looked NEW!

Today, 38 years later, most of those pots and pans are in constant rotation in my kitchen. One of the best investments I’ve made. They still look brand new, with soaking sometimes a hour or even overnight with water and a little baking soda, AND, finishing with Bar Keepers Friend!

Please don't think I am taking a pot shot (no pun) at your video, I have tried to find videos on cleaning that base of a steel fry pan and never found anything. I'm also apologizing for this long winded comment. I have finally stumbled on Bar Keepers Friend and might be able to buy it where I live (in some insignificant country with limited products everyone else has) which I read somewhere that it should clean the base. Bear in mind this got heavily gunked up and it a solid blackish brown has developed that even the makers own cleaning solution barely does anything to remove But videos generally show how to clean the inside of a pan. Not a problem I have though. The base has direct flame onto it, so that brown muck would have Superman in tears trying to remove it. So much contradictory info out there - use steel wool - never use steel wool (I wouldn't use steel wool!) but I am my wits end to keep the base clean and I eve bought several new pans as the other pans are a write off and I fear the same will happen to them. And BTW, I have the French Le Creuset enamel based pots and it turns out the coating on the gas burners has melted and the vapors reformed onto the base of them and I wonder how on Earth to remove this stuff as it's not grease or muck, but whatever the burner is made from. Any ideas?

@JoesPhenomenal Ай бұрын

Ugh... I've had that happen before... The problem is that it really gets cooked in there pretty quick. The only way I've been able to keep the bases clean it to make sure I clean them thoroughly after just about every use. That works pretty well but it's annoying to do it all the time. You're right... That stuff really sticked hard on the base. I can get it off, but there's a lot of scrubbing involved.

I got some scouring sponges for the pot (which had zero effect on the pots) and used the left overs to get rid of some dried on bird crap from my car which was really stubborn to wash off. Never do that. Unless you can afford to respray your car later! As for the pots, wish me luck!

Thanks for your help.

Heya Jerry. With the BKF, you have to use it right away. Letting it sit on there makes it less effective. I'd just use room temp water. If the staining is bad be sure to use the powder version. It's stronger than the liquid... Also be sure to wear gloves. That stuff and mess your hands up pretty good if you have sensitive skin.

Use the dawn and the scrob pad first to get it clean, and the barkeepers friend afterwards. I use the Dry version of that (it works better than the liquid).

You don't actually need all that other stuff for the "sauce." Just put in some oil and heat it, paying attention to the smoke point, so it doesn't smoke. Shut the burner off, use a steel brush to scrub the pain (don't burn yourself, use oven mits, and wear protective eyewear!), and then let the pan cool so the next step won't crack it. Transfer it to a soapy sink and wash it off. Whatever's left, use warm water and baking soda, dump that mix, then wash it with regular warm water and dish soap. Rinse and you're done.

That's called "tea staining" it doesn't hurt the pan, and is cause be slight deterioration of the stainless surface. It looks funky though. If that happened to you right away on a new pan, I would get your pan replaced. It shouldn't happen so quickly, IMO

I used vinegar and baking soda and it got some of it out but it's still a lot stuck around the edges it's very thick I burnt pudding in there I forgot to set the timer so it burned pretty badly I had to throw the pudding away. I have tried soap & water but it didn't work very well either.

On the inside cooking surface, no. If you have a high polished exterior, it might.

That being said, I do it anyway and it comes out fine, but definitely you can see some scratching there if you look closely.

Super confused (I have a plumber coming on Monday because of our clogged sink) but you can pour grease down the drain? We never do this but over time, because of cleaning out pans with grease over time it's now a pain and hence the reason for the plumber

@JoesPhenomenal Жыл бұрын

The grease will cause buildup over time and you can end up with a clog eventually... But your right.. even small amounts left over from cooking will do that at some point... The same goes for things like egg shells. IF we do something like deep frying over here, we try to pour all the leftovers into a plastic jug and you can give it to a lot of places the do car oil changes and whatnot. Small amounts are a much bigger pain in the neck tom deal with, however.

what happen if you put cold water in your hot pan?

@JoesPhenomenal Жыл бұрын

Possibly will warp the pan in the spot where the cold water touches. Pretty much all stainless pans including the really expensive ones can do that. Metal expands as it is heated, and retracts slowly when it cools... If you put cold water on an area, that area cools faster and retracts faster than the surrounding area.. hence a warp.
