OT - how to clean?

slovelad

hello all. I am hoping for some wisdom from you all.

how do I clean this off the bottom of the pan? I just got these and they were a gift (a rather expensive gift)

any ideas?

Oxalic acid and/or elbow grease.

@Thatgrimguy can you get it at Walmart or other stores?

Probably.  Bed Bath & Beyond carries it.

yes. I'm pretty sure. I pick it up all over the place. I think I got my last thing at lowes.

Kroger carries Bar Keepers Friend in the household cleaners section.

Put enough water in you sink to cover the bottom then add a cup of vinegar and let it sit overnight. Wont be perfect but it will take a lot of it off.

Tie a string to your trailor hitch and the other end through the handle and drive around your neighborhood. If that doesn't work you can opt for the bar keepers friend

I can tell you the the Magic Eraser will do a fine job.  It'll take some elbow grease too, but mu All-Clad cleans up nicely with the Mr Clean original Magic Eraser. The off brands are garbage. Trust me.

Also, another secret for stainless steel that is "brushed".  If it streaks and can't seem to get clean, restaraunt supply stores (Ace Mart here in Texas) carries this stuff called Shiela Shine.  I posted about it couple of years ago.  Comes in a turpentine style metal can.  It's magical and works scary good.

Actually it's also sold by Amazon and even Wally World! Amazing stuff that also comes in other versions for other metals as well.
