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

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
