How do you recommend cleaning the outside? Stainless steel cleaner does little!

My daughters always forget to move the tea kettle off the stove when cooking and it will get grease spots on it. I usually use a dobie pad with dish detergent but have never been that satisfied with the time involved in getting all the spots off and the end results. Today I tried barkeepers friend and I loved it. It was very quick so alot less effort and the tea kettle looks like new. Best product I have ever used for this purpose.

All I've done is wipe it down with a soapy cloth and it still looks like new. I love this teapot!

I had the unit for a half year and used it twice a day. I always use Comet to clean the stains. There is no scratch on the outside as the Ad.

Unfortunately, I live in CA and have hard water with quite a few minerals. I have a white residue around the lid where it steams and also running down from the spout tha drips a bit. That is the biggest drawback. I have to wipe it with vinegar pretty occasionally to keep it wiped away.

For my SS pans, I shake some baking soda onto the wet pan bottom. Put some soap on the wet dishcloth. Rub it out. Easy. Great technique for cleaning scum off outside of pans, glass casserole dishes, stainless sinks , plastic dishpans, and much more. Keep a shaker of baking soda near the sink!

I don't have a direct answer for stainless steel. I've used it on brass. It might clean brass if you went through several cycles of applying it and buffing it. It is really brasso in paste form. It is a polish designed to polish and not really to clean. It does a good job of polishing. I haven't used or looked for a stainless steel cleaner and so can't offer info on a stainless steel cleaner. I have found a good brass and chrome cleaner which is Zims Cymbal and Hardware Cleaner - just used it today (9/21/2013) on 2 cymbals.

Here are a couple of ideas that may help you. In the grocery store you can find powdered cleansers (like Bar Keepers Friend, Comet, Cameo, etc.) There are some made specifically for cleaning stainless steel. They're easy, not too expensive and can keep your stainless steel looking great. I've even seen stainless steel "polish" if you want it to shine. If you cook using "high" heat, it will burn food onto the surface and can create discolorations. Bring food to a boil, then just turn the heat to a lower temperature to finish cooking. The pans are made to last forever if we take care of them properly. I hope that helps you enjoy your beautiful stainless steel pots and pans for many years to come.

I have not had to clean it yet, but a soft rag and soap and water should maintain the finish, stainless steel is very durable. The most important thing is to not use anything that will scratch, no scotch brite, s.o.s. or brillo pad.

Try "Bar Keepers Friend". You should be able to get it from Walmart (or here in Amazon). There are a few styles of it; Soft cleanser, stainless steel Polish and regular. They should all work for getting the rust out. For cleaning the outside of the pans, stick with the Soft Cleaner variant. For the inside, the regular or SS Polish. Good luck!

That's a really good question! For the exterior, I've been using "stainless steel cleaner" (a special spray that comes in a can). I have not decided what to do about the interior yet. The interior gets very small splatters from using the rotisserie. The interior also appears to be stainless steel, but I'm hesitant to use the same cleaner because it appears to be a slightly different material than the exterior. I'm not sure if the manual said.

I used mine to brown hamburger meat the first time, and was shocked that there was nothing to clean up after wards. Literally just wiped down once with a sponge and that was it. Love it!!

I believe that using sand with a little soap and swirling it around is what they are referring to for an easy cleaning solution. I hope that helps.

I've used keyboard duster to clean these outside. I've also simply run them under the sink and used the sink sprayer. Dried in rack, worked fine. However, aftermarket replacements are cheap enough and work fine too.

I guess, you just need to use "Barkeeper's Friend" to clean the stainless pots/pans. You can buy it at homedepot or bed bath and beyond for a couple of buck.

The outside of the can is finger print resistant which is a plus. I clean it with a damp cloth or paper towel and buff it with the same but dry. So far I haven't found it necessary to use a cleaning agent. If however, you run into a tough stain I am sure an all purpose cleaner or stainless steel wipes/cleaner would work well. You will fine this trash can to be very low maintenance.

sorry. I have not tried that. I actually cleaned the sidewalk and then sprayed it separately with a 50/50 water/bleach solution. The attachment worked really well, though. It tremendously lessened the time it took me to clean the sidewalk!

I have the older SS grates and I find it best to clean the grill right after you are done while it is still hot. Using just papertowels soaked in water. It will get most of the caked on mess off. Watch out for the steam or use tongs. After that, anything that doesn't come off can be scrubbed off with a wire brush. The SS grates are pretty tough but I will go for the porcelain coated iron ones as a next upgrade. I think the iron grates will do a better job with retaining heat.As an additional note, I lined the inside reflector with heavy duty aluminum. Sure makes cleaning easier. Watch out for the grease drippings however, too dirty and you can start a fire with the heat.

It would only be coming into contact with Stainless Steel. From what I've read people use vinegar to clean SS, so if anything your cleaning it while using it. http://lifehacker.com/clean-stainless-steel-with-vinegar-and-oil-1599347975

I bought a stainless steel cleaning cloth found here on Amazon. You dampen it and wipe the canister then dry rub it. It has nice instructions and a free downloadable eBook that you can get on how to clean stainless steel.
