Cleaning stainless steel cookware
Hello all! I have a set of stainless steel cookware and am having problems with my skillet. I cooked an omelet in it and apparently didn't have enough cooking spray on it. It left brown residue here and there. I have tried soaking it in water, soaking it in water & dish soap, boiling water in it (twice), and scraping it with a firm spatula and nothing has worked. Tips?? TIA!

Re: Cleaning stainless steel cookware
I like having stainless steel because I can take a steel wool pad to it, have you tried that?
Also, instead of just boiling with water, boil with baking soda and water. This seems to work for cooked on crud.
I think a lot of people here recommend Bar Keeper's Friend for stainless steel also.
I'll admit I'm scared to try any type of brillo pad or steel wool, which I know is dumb, but I'm soooo used to non-stick cookware. I will try the baking soda tip and then move on to Bar Keeper's Friend if it doesn't work. Thanks!!
