How do you clean oxidation from stainless steel pots and pans?

Answer 1

You can use Bar Keepers Friend or white vinegar to clean stainless steel pots and pans.

If using BKF, follow the cleanser's instructions to clean your pots and pans. BKF can be found at local store such as Bed Bath and Beyond, or online.

If you can stand the smell of boiling vinegar, go for the following steps:

• Fill the stainless steel pot/pan with one cup of vinegar and add water as needed to cover the stains.
• Boil the vinegar water mixture for about five minutes then allow it to cool down completely.
• Wash stainless steel pot/pan with soap and hot water using a soft wash cloth or a non-abrasive pad.

When done cleaning, always remember to rinse stainless steel pots and pans thoroughly with hot water and dry completely with a clean towel.
