Cleaning stainless steel pans

BackBayGrrl · December 2008

OK, not totally baby related (tho DD eats what I eat, via breast milk)... I switched to stainless steel pots and pans to avoid Teflon chemicals. But my earthy crunchy sponges don't get the brown off of the sides of the pan, even after soaking overnight. What should I use? I was avoiding Brillo because it's got that blue soapy stuff that I'm sure can't be good for us either, but who (actually) knows? TIA

i use a paste of baking soda, water and a little elbow grease. ?sometimes i add a little lemon juice.

I cut a lemon in half, sprinkle salt on it and use it to scrub.

I use Bon Ami with a yellow scrubbie (I cannot remember the actual name of it for the life of me!) that is specific for my stainless steel.

I use soap and water on a regular basis, and for occasional stuck-on stuff I'll use Bar Keeper's Friend, rinse, and then wash with soap and water again. Cameo Copper also works well if you can't find BKF.
