    Any advice on what not to use this stuff on? I only use it on my sink at the moment because I’m afraid of scratching anything else.

      Well stainless steel pans for one. Baking sheets that have a bunch of shit baked on to them. I cleaned off my stock pot as well with it. The bottom of any pot or pan that has a bunch of blackened crud on it.

      When cooking with stainless, you’re almost always adding oil or butter before any other ingredient. It’s a waste of time to preseason the those pans.

    I can’t figure out how the stuff is such a good cleaner. I’ve yet to make a mess it can’t clean up on a flattop.

      Micro-abrasive particles. Pretty much works like fine grain sandpaper. Pretty much the same principle as Magic Eraser.

        There are lots of abrasive cleaning solutions that don’t work as well. It’s the combination of micro-abrasiaves, a surfactant, and oxalic acid.

    Fun fact for anybody with a septic system like me, this is septic safe unlike any of the offbrand versions I looked up. Which is great because this stuff just seems to work better than the rest. Win win!

      If you’ve got stainless pans you need to clean there’s legitimately nothing better

        All of my pans are stainless. And despite having heard many good things about that, I’ve never actually bought any.

          I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised- a good sponge and some barkeepers friend make quick work of scorched on oil, and usually leaves the pan looking new honestly.

          Just be sure to get the powdered kind that comes in a cylindrical container, the liquid stuff in the plastic squeeze containers seems weaker and doesn’t scrub stuff off as well in my experience. Did a great job of polishing tarnished copper pan bottoms though.
