I have had good luck using Comet's gel cleanser with bleach on the
outside of a stainless pan covered in crud. It's next to Soft Scrub
brand products, usually, but it's made by Comet. It has a green label.
(Might also be next to Comet's powder cleanser). Dawn Power Dissolver
also works nicely... hard to find lately, can't remember where I
picked it up last. Not all of my local markets carry it any longer.
