Can this be used inside pots and pans? I normally use Amway metal cleaner which works great but now they are too expensive.

I use it on the inside of pots and pans with no problems..It is the best metal cleaner I have ever used.

According to the box it can be used on utensils, so I would think you can use it inside pots and pans. It's great stuff.

I would think that the polish COULD be used inside pots and pans, but I wouldn't recommend it for such use. This polish works best when you do not go over an area once you've cleaned that spot/portion. You can not use the area of the cleaning cloth that has any tarnish on a new area you want to clean, so I think it wouldn't be the most efficient way of cleaning inside a pan...you couldn't apply the polish then swish out the entire pan...you'd have to clean a spot, get a clean cloth area, then clean another spot. I use the polish for lamps, silver trays, silverware and once for brass door knobs. I would think that the polish COULD be used inside pots and pans, but I wouldn't recommend it for such use.

I have not used it in pans. I use Bar Keepers Friend when I clean my Al Clad pans, works like magic. Bed, Bath and Beyond has a nice selection of liquid and powder.

I do not know if it can be used inside pots and pans. If you do use it, you would need to wash before using.

Thank you for responding. Around here we are warned not to use drums for cooking or heating if they are used. Even with industrial cleaning the metal is porous enough to retain some of the chemicals that may have been in the drum, which may be very toxic. When heated the metal might release these chemicals. There was a report that an entire family was sickened and died from this here in the Mobile Alabama area. Good luck.

Yes this will clean switches, Pots. Tuners, etc. Remember, contact type cleaner can be used as long as it's the Plastic Safe cleaner. Similar to the old TV Tuner cleaner but this CRC stuff if plastic safe. Do Not use "Contact Cleaner" unless it's specifically plastic safe.

Great cleaner, however, I would refer to the manufacturer's website for the type of metal your handles are made out of: http://www.maasinc.com/ Hope it works for you!

I use Barkeepers Helper on all my stainless steal pots and pans and on my appliances. It is the best product to clean stainless steal. I tried several products but this was by far the best.

I suggest a cleaner that is save for plastics called Bar Keeper's Friend. It is one of the best kitchen cleaners I've discovered over the decades. It comes in a gold color container similar in shape to what you find "Comet/Ajax" in but this is non-abrasive and leaves no residue. I've used it with a scrubby pad to completely recover a pan with years of cooked on dark gook on the bottom, that's how good it is. Amazon carries it too: Bar Keepers Friend® Cleanser & Polish 12 Oz Two Pack

This is helpful. I had wondered about the metal in non-stick pots and maybe that wouldn't be a problem. But my main soup pot is ceramic. Has anyone tried a metal immersion blender in those? or in a crock pot, which is also ceramic?

no, your pots and pans have to be stainless steel. The only way to check is to put a magnet on the bottom, if it sticks those pans can be used.

I never put pots and pans in the dishwasher. I feel it would be to harsh. Nordic Ware is too nice to mess up. I have this muffin pan and have had no sticking ever, so clean up has not been a problem.

Hello, Thank you for your question. The Barkeepers Friend website list the surfaces that can be used for cleaning with this agent. I'm assuming your pot is enamel coated. While the website information lists porcelain, ceramic, as material surfaces the product will work with, it does not have specific information on enameled coating. However, if enamel is comparable with porcelain or ceramic, it MIGHT be safe but I would test a small area first. There are many materials listed that can be used with this product, even copper. Barkeepers seems to be an all around cleaning product. If you would like more information, you can visit the Barkeepers Friend website. Hope this helps. Thanks for allowing me to be helpful. Regards, James

It's stainless steel which is magnetic and induction cooking uses magnetism, though I don't know exactly how that works. Other stainless steel pots would probably work, but I bought these because I knew they were made to work with induction, and that the metal wouldn't be mixed or layered with something that wouldn't work as well. You could sure try your regular stainless steel pots first, though, if you have them. If the pot isn't pure stainless steel it wouldn't work, either not at all or not as well, depending on its composition. The answer below is a more scientific answer!

Yes, you can use metal utensils. I scrub the inside with a steel wool scrubber and the outside with a softer nylon scrubber. The outside is a chrome-like and shiny; the inside is a satin finish. Stainless steel is a hard metal and very durable. Never use chlorine bleach on stainless steel. You can use powdered cleansers such as Bar Keeper's Friend on any burned on food on the inside or outside of the pan. Stainless steel can be scratched but not very easily. If you like to cook this pan is an investment because it should last forever, scratches and all! Also, care instructions come with the pan.

I would NOT use this great product on copper. I wouldn't use any type of scrubber on copper. If you notice copper bottom pots are usually worn off by scrubbing them. Plated silver, same thing. Be verygentle with plated items and soft metal. I've noticed that raw egg will cause a stain mark on copper, and raw egg will tarnish my silver; at least for one washing.

I use a powdered soap like Ajax or Comet. Heat the pan in hot soap water, pull it out and scrub. If that doesn't work try over cleaner outside.

Ouch! Would never use oven cleaner. No sure about using this for showers either. It is best for stainless steel, although I don't like the liquid version just the powder after finding that it clumps after a few uses. Try Gel-Gloss for your shower.

I purchased this item not too long ago, but I know you should not, use metal spatulas or used rough surfaces to clean any non stick pot and pans.
