Notbob, there is another way to clean the polished stainless steel, like the All-Clad frypan
my DIL was going to throw out because she let a silicone scraper melt in the bottom.

I went out to the Harley-Davidson dealer and got a small supply of a product that will take
melted rubber or a synthetic rubber-like substance off an exhaust pipe (like if a rubber protective
pad from a cycle suit got up against a hot exhaust pipe).

It took a lot of elbow grease, but the scraper residue all came off. And the finish looked like new,
and the pan is still as non-stick as it was originally. Ta-dah! Magic! ;-))
