Discovery Products Carbon Off Cleaner (19-Ounce Can)

I used to use this in the restaurants it is some of the best stuff there is on the market to keep your pans clean,I love it. You don't want to get it on your hands. It will burn used protective gloves and mask if possible.

This stuff is awesome on stainless steel. Don't use it on anything painted or teflon'ed, will take the paint/finish off including painted pots and pans. If you got carbon buildup from cooking or burnt food deposit, this is your product. Spray on, let set for a bit, then lightly brush it off with a brush and watch the crud scrub off, no hard physical exertion. Make sure to wash pan afterwards due to chemicals involved and use this product in a ventilated area, does have a bit of strong ammonia smell that will zing your nose.

It does the job. No doubt the product works as advertised. I bought a used nice French Le Creuset fry which needed a good leaning. After using this product, the pan looks as good as new, without scrubbing. Nice. But: - I did not give a 5 stars as after the first usage, the can does not work anymore, no gel comes out when I press the top so it is useless to me. The can is still half full so I lost half of it. - As indicated in the instructions, this stuff stinks. really bad. Ammoniac mixed with solvent. Bad stuff. But it does make you pot as clean as new, so...

Since the election vote count will be going on for another month, I decided to take a break and clean the baked on varnish from several stainless steel cooking pans. The results are amazing. See the accompanying pictures. I rarely get excited about a product but this product, “Carbon Off”, is one that got my attention. I have tried a number of products that claim to loosen the baked on Carbon (varnish). Almost all of these other products required a lot of elbow grease, and they required multiple applications. Because I was so disappointed with these other products, I had said to my wife, Jo, that we should do basic research and find a chemical that would loosen the bonds between the baked-on carbon and the metal of the frying pan. After some 'YouTube' and Internet research, I purchased a spray on version of “Carbon Off” from Amazon. It is a spray on gel that loosens the carbon that has been baked on the pan. I followed the directions, spraying the “Carbon Off” product onto a medium sized stainless steel fry pan. I tested it after it had set for 30 minutes by pushing the gel around with a stick. The carbon was loosened. I decided to let it stay on overnight, and I also sprayed the product on to two other larger cooking pans. The next morning I rinsed off the “Carbon Off” gel, and I cleaned the pans with a scotch bright pad. I used a toothpick to poke the gel and gunk out of the crevices. The carbon / varnish came off with very little elbow grease. The pans were very clean. I then used some metal polish to shine them up. I highly recommend using Carbon Off”

This cleaner clean most dirty things ,what ohter cleaner can’t clean well. Especially frying pan. So functionally works with dirty stove, glass stove. Easy of use. Spray foaming effect.

Expensive and does not work as shown. My stainless pots had some normal deposits on bottoms .Some carbon came off needed a second application and steel wool to get final amount off ,Better off with steel woll and elbo grease .

I have always struggled to get the oven door clean after self-cleaning the oven overnight. I suppose I should have cleaned the glass first before the self-cleaning but I didn't know. This sticky stuff turned black and absolutely not moving with a magic eraser, "Krud Kutter" and a plastic scraper. When I first got the ovens installed, I used a sponge with a scratchy surface and scratched the glass accidentally. They replaced the glass and warned me not to use anything abrasive. So a few years later, frustrated with all the gunk on the windows after the holidays, I tried again to clean them and tried this Carbon Off and voila! It worked like a charm! Stunk like anything, and had to ventilate the kitchen. Only left it on for about an hour before it wiped right off! I wish I took photos! I wasn't sure it would work. It does! Amazing, and thanks for making this potent stuff! I'm going to buy more for the grill! Whee!

I purchased this to clean years of carbon build-up on my iron skillet. I followed all the directions carefully, using extra precaution with goggles, gloves and a large bucket of fresh water near by. All work was done outdoors, where fumes could easily dissipate. This will definitely work, but it takes considerable time. Plan on spraying it on thick and letting it sit someplace safe overnight (I locked the skillet in my shed overnight to prevent any critters from being injured). While a significant amount of carbon did come off there's still about 40% left after two treatments. Possibly the gel-based formula would penetrate better. For reference, the MSDS sheet for Carbon-Off lists the following components, all of which are toxic and dangerous to various degrees. KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING WHEN YOU USE THIS!
