How do you get burn stuff off of stainless steel pans? Is there a common house hold something I could use?

What can I do next?

it's called "Bar keepers Friend" and it comes in a gold bottle like Ajax...works like a charm on stainless steel, copper, porcelain...etc. Don't get the liquid though it doesn't work as well as the powder and you can get it at walmart.

Dawn makes a great spray on product called Power dissolver. It works for muy baking sheets. However, my grandmother always used a paste of water and creme of tarter. She would let it soak on burt pan for several hours or over night. It always seemed to work!

Boil something acidic in the pan: lemon juice, tomato juice, etc. Just take some water a little juice, boil, let sit for a while then scrub with dishwashing detergent. Should come right up.

Hi Manige - Barkeepers friend is definitely the best and safest product for your stainless steel. I'm not sure the de-glazing idea would get the burn marks out - they can be really stubborn.

Run your pan under water and then apply a healthy shot of powdered Barkeepers Friend to make a thick paste and then scrub scrub scrub. A no-scratch pad works well but I've also found that a washcloth works best for the burn marks that are really set in. If you have dry hands, you might consider wearing a pair of plastic gloves.

Also, most good quality stainless steel pans require lower cooking temps than others. Use medium-high at first and then drop down to medium - just thinking it might reduce some of those burn marks in the first place.

Good luck!

If it's inside the pan, boil water with baking soda. If it's outside, gently scrub it with baking soda and a little scrubby -- should take it right off. Hydrogen Peroxide is also good for a number of things like this. Good luck!

If the kinder, gentler cleaners don't work, I recommend taking it outside and spraying it with ovencleaner. Leave it overnight and rinse in the morning before a good washing. Of course, put it somewhere safe from babies and animals...

My husband always keeps steel wool around the house. I use it on my stainless steel pans, works great!! Just buy a bag of it and you can tear off a chunk and start scrubbing. Make sure you throw away after using once because is mushes up and rusts. Works on calcium deposits and grime that won't come off. I like it also because you really don't need to use anything with it...just water.
