[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yup. Barkeepers friend. Great stuff. Let it soak overnight and then scrub. [/quote]
You're only to supposed to scrub the pot (or pan) for a minute MAX with Bar Keepers Friend. The main ingredient, oxalic acid, is a really strong acid (much stronger than acetic acid).  I can't imagine what you're doing to a pan where you have to let it sit overnight and soak with BKF. We used oxalic acid in the chemistry prep room to wash glassware and that stuff gets everything off super quick. Always make sure you wear gloves because it is harsh on skin. 
If a pan you just cooked in has stuff stuck/burned on the inside, squirt some dish soap in the pan, add hot water, and let it sit on the hot burner. The stuff will come off without a problem.

For difficult stains, apply Bar Keepers Friend liquid or make a paste with Bar Keepers Friend powder and let it remain on the surface but for no longer than one minute. Rub gently as needed, rinse thoroughly.[/quote]
