No matter how hard you try to preserve the appearance of your pots and pans, they're going to get grimy with regular use. That's the sign of a well-loved piece of cookware! That said, taking a crusty pan and transforming it into a shiny stunner is something I find deeply satisfying.
I've tried a lot of different cleaners, and this one's the real deal when it comes to extending the life of your cookware. All you do is wet whatever it is you're trying to clean, sprinkle a generous amount of the powder over it, gently rub, rinse and wipe dry. For the best results, I usually let it sit for a few minutes before rubbing it in to give it some time to lift the stains, rust, grease — you name it. Then I'll use a cloth or sponge and start buffing it into my pans, making sure to go in the same direction as the metal's brushstrokes, if there are any. For intense stains, I've found that using the rough part of a dry sponge works better than wet, but I've also had success with damp cloths.
Just check out that photo of my pan — if that doesn't make you believe in magic, I'm not sure what will.
