The polish doesn't matter. Make sure you thoroughly wash your set before using to get all the gross industrial chemicals off!

Does anyone know how to clean stainless steal pans? I got a pretty inexpensive cookware set a while back and they seriously don't get clean...

I made gluten-free pancakes a couple weeks ago and there's pancake residue stuff all over one of the pans. How do you get it off??? :blink::)

I like to clean the big peices of food off with dishsoap and then I use orange oil to get the greasy residue off it, and then I wash it again with dishsoap mixed with baking soda to make it shiney.

If you can't find orange oil, I have heard of people using vinegar, although it doesn't smell as good and you might want to dilute it.

Thanks! I didn't know about the orange oil.

you might (okay you DO) want to wear gloves when working with orange oil, because in addition to taking the oil and grease off whatever you clean it with it will take the oils off your hands.

OH! Steel wool is not the best thing to use on stainless steel, someone can correct me if I am wrong on that, but I have a set of All Clad pans and in the cleaning intructions they say steel wool is a big No-No for cleaning stainless. Maybe it's different for other pans, I don't know?

Lister, here are some tips for cleaning the pans I have, I imagine they would apply to all stainless steel? (How great your mom got you a set!! :) )

Basic Care and Cleaning:

Don't overheat your All-Clad. Overheating can cause blue and brown stains to appear.

Never use metal utensils on your stainless steel surface or on the non-stick surface.

If your All-Clad becomes discolored, use a cleaner such as Bar Keepers Friend, Bon Ami, Twinkle, Cameo, or Wenol.

If you have any stubborn stains, burns or caked-on food, first try soaking your All-Clad in warm sudsy water (you shouldn't need to submerse the pan, just fill it up) for a while and it should clean right up.

For any really stubborn stains, use a soft scrub product, with a plastic or rubber scraper/pad

Do not use Brillo/Steel wool to clean your All-Clad. It may clean your pan but extended use is going to permanently damage your All-Clad.

For generalized "Bluing" of your stainless steel interior, bring two tablespoons of generic white vinegar and 2 cups of water to a boil, and the blue "film" should disappear.

Do not use oven cleaners or cleansers with chlorine bleach.

Do not use steel wool on your All-Clad Cookware.

I've been using SOS Pads and it does look nice and shiny. Does anyone know if that is Ok and gluten-free? LLee

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
