My new stainless steel pan is so hard to keep clean. Both inside and out. Is there an easy way to
clean it? I'm using an abrasive cleanser with a soft scouring pad. Lots of elbow grease involved.

I just use Bon Ami for stainless cookware but seldom encounter anything very challenging. Revere
Ware recommends Zud. I never used it at home but I've used it on stainless steel hardware on my boat
and it works well. FoodNews radio host Melinda Lee has recommended Barkeepers Friend for cleaning
stainless and copper. For heavy duty burnt-on carbon and grease, you might try Carbon Kleen diablo-diablo-Open ↗

I'd recently read about not using any scouring pad, etc as it'll scratch you SS.

Try using Vingear.

I use heavy duty oven cleaner.

I generally don't have problems with mine, but once in a while I soak a pan overnight filled with
hot water and about a tablespoon of powdered dishwasher detergent -- soaks out anything!

Any? Some will, some won't.

Try using Vingear.

5% vinegar is too acetic and when used repeatedly will noticeably and permanently etch stainless
steel cookware.

For stuck-on food I use copper sponges (aka copper wire scouring pads) on all my cookware as
needed... copper sponges are easy to keep clean, they don't stink, they don't rust, and they last a
long time.

I can't find Barkeepers Friend so I'll try the over cleaner. I have problems removing the
brown/yellowish stain on the outside of the pan and dark burnt stuff on the inside.

Thanks!
