hey kids --
last night while frying up some potatoes i managed to cover my entire
stainless steel frying pan with blotchy brown stains -- i'm assuming it's
burnt splattered vegitable oil -- questions:

a) does this mean i had the heat too high?
b) how the @#$@ do i get it off? it seems immune to scrubbing and the dish
washer had no idea what to do with them.

advice???


This is very common. There are two ways to remove it. You can put the
cookware in a garbage bag, spray it with oven cleaner ( I like the heavy
duty kind in the yellow can best), let it sit for several hours, then rinse.
You can do the same thing and substitute ammonia. I don't think the ammonia
works as well but it is less expensive. It works very well on glass and
Corningware also. DON'T use this on aluminum, copper, or painted surfaces.
