00942 Cookware Cleaner and Polish, 12-Ounce

I use this on our All-Clad stainless. We've used barkeepers friend in the past, I would say that it works similarly if not better than barkeepers friend but I chose to buy the All-Clad branded stuff this time because it comes in a much better bottle that makes it easy to sprinkle on in reasonable quantities and reseal. It cleans the stainless extremely well without much effort at all when using a scrubby sponge and only a little bit of product. It even cleans the discoloration off the bottom of the pan which previously I thought nothing could shine off. One word of caution is it does leave tiny scratches as it is an abrasive cleaner, if you follow the directions and clean in circular motions around the whole circumference of the pot or pan it's less noticeable and doesn't really affect anything but you might want to exercise restraint and use it only on the interior of your pieces to keep the mirror finish looking good on the outside and clean the exterior with just soap.

I got this and a liquid one to compare and only gave the liquid one a 3 star because its lack of cleaning ability. This powder was the clear winner! It cleans really well and will eat most burnt on residue on my stainless steel pans. Don't get me wrong, it's not some magic wipe away burnt on food instantly, it does require a little bit of elbow grease still, but in the end it works amazing. Make sure you clean your sink after because it will leave a residue behind. I was very impressed when I got this and will honestly be a repeat customer.

Not effective if the pan has cooled down.

Used this to clean my stainless pans that had lots of baked on spots. This made them look like a new set.

Product works very well, I would recommend wearing gloves before you start scrubbing to avoid getting any of the residue on your hands. It does require a lot of effort to scrub off any discoloration or burning, but it does work very well. My pans look brand new
