Cleaning stainless steel pots

Well, maybe a bit off topic, maybe not. I have a nice, heavy new 2
quart saucier and have been keeping it bright and shinny, so I
thought. But, now after a year or so, I've noticed the outside is
turning sort of goldish color. The inside is a brushed stainless,
but the outside is polished stainless steel. Obviously the gold
color is a buildup of tiny grease splashes that apparently didn't
come off during regular cleaning. Is there a good way to remove
this? I've heard applying ammonia and putting the pot in a tight
plastic bag overnight. Will this really work? Thanks.

I could not find it locally when I ran out about a year or so ago, so
I got a 6-pack from an industrial supply site. Bigger bottle, too.

I have a microwave-convection oven and he stainless steel walls can
got really coated when things got zapped after something greasy was
baked. Nothing showed up until it was baked on but good. .The Dawn
stuff was a life-saver, although it was tricky to rinse off inside the
oven. I had to keep rinsing out a sponge.

Unless you display your cookware, what difference
does it make? (And if you do display your cookware,
you need a second set for actual cooking.)

Try it. It won't hurt the pan. Or try Easy Off Bam.

Thanks.

Thanks. I can't find that anymore in my store. That stuff worked a
treat.

I just started thinking about the cruddy window of my self-cleaning
oven. Do you think it would work on that stuff too?

It should work on glass, because I have used it on Corningware, but I
do not know what material the rest of your oven door is made of. Try a
little bit first in the middle of the glass.

So you think it would take the crud off? I wouldn't care if it was
just a little peep hole as long as it was clear.

I think you would have to be very careful that the seals around the oven
glass were not affected....It may clean the glass but destroy the seals...

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.
