What's an effective way to remove this stubborn burnt-on oil from a saucepan? [duplicate] - Bird's Eye View Of Roadway Surrounded By Trees

I have a stainless steel saucepan that has dark burnt on oil around the sides. I'm assuming it's from cooking oil since I use oil in this saucepan a lot.

It seems to just keep building up and up and I can't get rid of it.

This morning I tried boiling 1cup water with 1cup distilled vinegar for 5 minutes, then adding baking soda. I emptied the water, then tried to scour it clean but it made very little difference.

Is there some industrial strength stuff I can buy to help me out here?

Best Answer

If your pan is truly stainless steel, you can get burned on brown and sticky oil off the sides with oven cleaner (US brand "EZ-off" or other brand). This product is definitely not recommended for other metals such as copper, aluminum, etc.. But true stainless steel, I have used it no prob. If you are in doubt, you can test a small amount out on an inconspicuous tiny spot at first.
