Anyone use Stainless Steel cookware?

[BubblPopElectrc]

I bought a set of Martha Stewart stainless steel cookware.. I only used one piece and I think I may have messed it up already.

The bottom looks like it has some residue on it. It doesn't really like discolored or anything. I tried not to turn the heat on to much when I put it on.. but I'm not sure if that caused it or not.

I've washed it a few times.. I even let it soak for an hour or more.. still looks the same.

Any suggestions or tips?

There is a special product you use to clean that up, but the name escapes me. I'd go back where you bought them, and ask for the specific cleaner. I like them, but always have to remember to keep them on low.

I LOVE my calphalon stainless pots but sometimes they look 'spotted' so I use "bar keeper's friend" to clean them up. I think I bought it at Walmart

I have All-Clad and I see the same thing on mine. I think that Bar Keepers, mentioned above, is good for that.

Thanks so much guys! I'll look into buying some.

Thanks from me too.

I use stainless steel farberware. I clean it by hand.

I need some too. I love the stainless but after a while you do get sort of grease stains on them. I think someone recommended something called magic bullet which is supposed to be good for cleaning stainless steel.

I tell you no matter what type of cookwater you buy there are issues with them...lol.

Does it work on copper too? I have some copper bottom pots, and they really get funky looking.

Bar keepers friend is for stainless, copper, brass, glass, tile, and I think a few other types of surfaces. I have an old copper bottom pot that was my grandmother's and it worked very well on that. It polished the copper and made it really shiny--like it was new. I was surprised, actually, because I didn't expect it to look THAT clean!

I think the magic bullet works on copper too. They sell it at malls at the as seen on tv kiosk and I think I have also seen it at Bed Bath and Beyond. I need to get some because my poor stainless steel pots are needing a bit of mercy...lol.

I know this thread is extremely odd but I still haven't gotten around to buying some stuff although now I really should..

Is this the right stuff that some of you mentioned? I just want to make sure I get the right stuff and don't mess my cookware up.

Thank you so much! I can't wait to get it and try it. It's a lot more reasonably priced than I was expecting.
