In this cookware video Uncle Scott shows how to clean stainless steel cookware and make it shine like new. We use two secret weapons that are absolutely necessary to clean stainless steel pots and pans: Barkeeper's Friend (or another brand of mildly abrasive cleaner) and white vinegar.
We show how to clean four frequent messes in stainless steel cookware, efficiently and effectively:
1. Bacon grease and gunk
2. Burned-on/stuck-on grease from high-heat searing
3. Haze from proteins
4. Rainbow stains
