I didn’t take a before picture cause it looked gross
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.
Shits so good it's used to clean sources on mass specs
It’s the shit
Makes my sink look brand new
That shit is magic. I always have some in the house.
Now do your cast iron.
Bite your tongue heathen.
#LookOfDisapproval! Lol!
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.
Now you have to re-season your pan
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'm right there with you, bud. Barkeeper's Friend is the true "special sauce" in a clean and tidy kitchen. Pair it with some All-Clad, and your seriously set for life.
That stuff is seriously no joke. I usually let man pans sit for 10 or 15 minutes with the stuff on it and then bam it comes right off.
BKF is so unbelievably satisfying to use.
Shiny! Looking good.
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!
Hell yeah you did. Which type did you buy? The powder or the liquid spray?
I didn’t even know there was a spray brb gotta go get some
It's great on my porcelain sink and I just got my grilling vegetable rack cleaner than it has been in years.
For certain tasks, it is awesome.
I bought both the liquid and powder. I'm using the liquid more, not sure why.
I think I’m on the market for bar keepers friend.
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.
I had been meaning to get around to it forever but the bottom surface on this always stayed clean enough. Now that I got some I’m like everyone else who will tell you you should definitely get it.
