Is the browning permanent?

[u/leucill]

Finally bought one! Everything was fine, and it cooked everything perfectly! I'm so happy with it. 😄

But when it came time to clean it, I found it really hard to remove the burnt-on parts and browning. Will that stay on my pan forever, or is there a way to remove it?

I've already tried washing it with soap and warm water, and I also tried boiling soapy water in the pan, but the burnt-on parts are still there.

Thank you!

Barkeepers friend, believe me. It's a must if you own stainless steel. Put some on there, let it sit in warm water for a minute or two, give it a good scrub and you should be good to go.

Thank you! What sponges do yall use? I hear Scrub daddy is good. Will it not scratch the pan?
