"A mild acid ideal for stainless steel," it says on the back of my bottle. I have highly polished stainless cookware that I like to keep in a mirror finish on the inside. The 3M product did an excellent (with a little effort on my part) job, but you had to wash out the pots with hot soapy water after polishing to remove the polish residue and see the excellent result, whereas the Le Creuset product, while it did clean a little and was easier to wash off, is still sitting in the back of my cupboard, basically. BTW, I gave the 3M product five stars and received some backlash for using it on cookware. After contacting 3M, I was told that using their product on cookware was fine as long as it was washed with hot water and detergent after each use.
No, based on my experience with this product. I bought it as a stainless steel saucepan cleaner/shiner because it didn't contain abrasives, which would scratch the surface of my highly polished (inside) stainless steel saucepan. pots and pans I'd say it didn't have any chemicals for removing burnt-on food or grease (though the smell suggests it does). I would use bi-carbonate of soda if you have grease that has burned on. card soda, a chemical oven cleaner, or a BBQ cleaner, to name a few possibilities! By the way, I didn't think this was the best product for polishing my saucepans. 3M Metal Restorer Polisher was the one I liked best. There's nothing magical about either of these items; it's all about hard work and perseverance.
I've only used it on my Le Crueset stainless steel pots and pans, despite the fact that the bottle says it's for stainless steel. I don't have any enamel pots, so I can't say if it will harm the finish. I would never use a stainless steel cleaner on anything other than stainless steel. I'd reach out to Le Crueset and inquire about the best way to clean enamel pots.

On stainless steel pots and pans, it's 'exceptionally' effective. It removes the bluish discoloration. It even gets rid of the dark, cooked-on spots on the bottom. There was some J in my system. I used to use a Henckels cleaner that I thought was better, but this could be the same stuff under a different name. In any case, I believe the J. Henckels was superior; however, it does not appear that they are producing it any longer. It cleans almost effortlessly. br>br> Follow the directions, but I just smear some on the pan, wait 10 seconds, then lightly scrub and wipe it away with one of those Teflon sponge dish pads. That leaves almost everything perfectly gleaming. It's possible that you'll have to work harder on the dark spots on the bottom, but if they're not too bad, you'll be able to get rid of them as well. (If not, sandpaper is a good option. ) This stuff is a thick, gray liquid. )br>br> You'd describe it as a cream. It has a fine grit to it, and I haven't noticed any damage to my mirror finish pans as a result of using it. It also has a mild acid in it, which I haven't noticed causing any harm. Although I wouldn't let a thick puddle of it sit on anything for an extended period of time, and you can wear rubber gloves if you want to, but I never do. I'm a man, though, and I'm not one of them.
It works wonders on my stainless steel cookware. I would strongly suggest it.
My stainless frying pan, which belonged to my wife, was stained. I was able to get myself out of trouble because of this.
With a clean rag or paper towel, rub a small amount of it on the DRY surface of the inside of the pot or pan to leave a hazy film. Allow it to sit for a few minutes before thoroughly cleaning it with soap and water. It will look brand new once you're done. This is an excellent item.
Removes the yellowing of the steel, which I believe is due to heat. While this is marketed as a cleaner, it's more of a polish that buffs back in the shine. The product recommends cleaning the pots with soap and water first. If you want to keep your stainless steel pans looking brand new, this appears to be a good option.
Food residue on stainless steel pots can be removed with this product. Recommendation: If you are looking for a unique way to express yourself, Follow the manufacturer's instructions and wash the cleaned item in warm soapy water again to ensure that all of the product has been removed. That isn't something you should eat!.
I had been using a different brand of cleaner for several years, but they had stopped producing it. I tried the Le Creuset brand in the hopes that it would live up to its name and produce results comparable to my previous cleaner (Berghoff International SS Cleaner), but it did not. I'm still using LeCreuset, but I wish I could find a way to get my hands on the other brand.
Our Le Crueset and Cuisinart Stainless Steel cookware no longer looked as good as it did three years ago. This product quickly restored the look of a near-factory finish; it's a great product that should be in every pantry.
