BAR KEEPERS FRIEND Cookware Cleanser, 12-Ounce (Pack of 4)']

I've been buying and using Bar Keepers Friend since the late 1980s, and nothing else touches stubborn stains on stainless steel, enamel, or cookware the way this does. Over the years it has rescued pots and pans that looked ruined, removed burnt-on residues, and kept sinks and fixtures looking new with very little effort. A little goes a long way, it rinses clean, and the results are consistently impressive decade after decade, which is why this is one of the few products I never let myself run out of.

This product is a lifesaver and I wish I knew about it sooner. We use this on our All-Clad plans almost daily. It brings them back to life. Seriously, it is great!!!! We will continue to repurchase.

WOW. That's about all I can say. It really does work. Came across BKF's products for the first time several weeks ago while browsing Amazon. Never heard of it before then. After reading a lot, and I mean a lot of reviews all basically claiming the same thing, that BKF cleaners are some type of "miracle" cleaners; I figured, ok, why not give it a try. I'm so glad I did. As soon as it arrived, I headed straight for the kitchen and grabbed my favorite large pot that I use for deep frying everything. It was a beautiful pot, maybe 15 years ago when I bought it. But for the past 10 years or so, the whole bottom and 90% of the sides of the pot were covered with extra thick, deep deep burnt in grease scorch marks that resisted all previous attempts at removal in the past. Trust me, I tried everything, short of a sandblaster or a grenade. I gave up, it beat me. I decided to live with the best deep frying pot i ever owned, and accept the fact that it looked like someone dipped it in the black lagoon, right after the creature left, then set it on fire. But wait, there's more. At the sink, I wet the outside of the pot, sprinkled some BKF cookware on it, took a step back and a deep breath, mentally preparing myself for an "elbow grease" workout from hell-o. Stepped forward, with my scotch brite stainless steel scrubbing pad in hand, and slowly began to rub a small area of the pot in a circular motion, truly expecting nothing to happen. I barely used any energy. After about a minute, I noticed that something was wrong. I saw that the area that I was rubbing started to turn blue. I was concerned, thinking maybe it's some bad type of chemical reaction. So, I decided to rinse the pot off quickly. And, yes, in the area I scrubbed was a blue circle in the middle of the pot that was scorched black with grease. And then it hit me, all of the sudden, I remembered, that this pot used to be blue when I bought it 15 years ago. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I had to double check. Took my gloves off, and rubbed the spot with my finger. Yes, it was my pot of old. Hello pot! It's been awhile. Wow! I was so happy. I grabbed a spare can of BKF, grabbed that pot, and went and showed my neighbor what just happened. She said, "wow!" She told me she was trying to find something for her pots scorch marks. So I gave her that can of BKF. I kid you not, within an hour (working on and off sporadically), with little or no elbow grease, the pot was 100% scorch mark free and looking brand spanking new. It was a "Royal Diamond" pot. I had forgotten that because i couldn't read the bottom of the pot for the past 10 _ 15 years. But I can now. Stock up on BKF. You'll see.

I love to broil frozen fish and frozen steaks. You can imagine the mess! All I have to do is soak my broiled pan over night and then use a bit of this cookware cleanser and voila! It cleans up beautifully. I am so soooooo happy

I keep this cleanser in stock. It is a great cleanser for stainless steel and other cleaning needs

Makes my pots really shine. With some elbow grease 💪

Purchase Date: 27AUG15 Purchase Price: $12.79 Long story short – I placed some of my mother’s stainless steel items in the dishwasher thinking they would clean nicely. Well…turned out they should not be placed in a dishwasher and came out looking brown/burnt looking. Someone recommended Barkeeper’s Friend to me and I had no choice but to try it because nothing else was working. Sure enough it brought the stainless steel back to life and looking better than it did before. Forget the Comet, Ajax, or other abrasive cleaners this one will do the trick. I also spent about 3 hours on the grill with a new stainless steel rack. After cooking it looked black and hideous so I placed Bar Keepers Friend on it, let it sit for about 15 minutes, and began to rub with a sponge (pictures attached). I am astonished by the way that this takes off grease, grime, and burnt marks off stainless steel items so easily. This product has a pleasant smell, is gentle on the skin, and can be removed easily with warm water. You do have to put in some elbow grease to get results. I found best results by wetting the item that needs to be cleaned first. Then place Barkeeper’s Friend on it and softly make it to a paste like substance and let sit for 10+ minutes. After the 10+ minutes are up I put some scrubbing motions into it and “vuala” sparkling. This item contains oxalic acid which is great for lifting stains out of most surfaces - more environmentally friendly and no chlorine. Silver one is more for cookware and the Gold one is for all-purpose but so far I have used the Silver one for everything with no problems. Please Note: I did NOT receive any type of incentive to write this review. This review is my honest opinion after doing much research and purchasing this product for use. Prior to purchasing any product I conduct thorough research. "Was this review helpful to you?" if it was please select "YES" below. Thank you! :)

Great kitchen staple

This was a gamble, would this finally be the product to save my favorite pot that was ruined when scale(?) built up when used to boil well water on stove for months to provide humidity. I had tried everything, including steel wool, a host of cleaners, even contacted the manufacturer seeking a replacement for this discontinued pot (as I said, my favorite!). Yes, it required a lot of elbow grease and repeated scrubbing with a damp sponge, and multiple applications, but finally the pot is now back to the shiny stainless steel it always was. To be clear, NOTHING had literally scratched the surface, or made a beyond marginal improvement, despite the countless hours and methods, and soaking I had done previously.. As soon as I started to scrub with this, I could see it was actually removing the build up, revealing the shiny surface below. No more chalky, crusty build up that grossed me out every time I needed to boil water for spaghetti or potato's. I have since discovered this is a godsend in removing those nasty dark spots/streaks on the outside of the non-stick frying pans, and cleaning the bottoms so they do not leave marks on the glass stove top (for which this is also fabulous for and does NOT scratch the surface). I even used it on my gigantic white tupperware bowl (that I like for family popcorn, but that someone had "borrowed" and forgotten outside forever) that had a mottled, grey black, almost mold/mildew type stains all over it, bam, even that came clean, without damaging the shiny, outer, plastic surface. My only beef is there is no way to CLOSE the tin, and it is definitely starting to clump within the container, it bugs me they have not solved this issue with some sort of lid or closure... but if you have a favorite anything that has a stubborn stain(s) that nothing else has worked on, this is worth trying. I have yet to find ANYTHING it does not work on and has damaged nothing.

Excellent cleaner for stainless steel kitchenware and basins, or even porcelain mugs that were coffee-stained. It was almost magical and we went on a cleaning spree, looking for surfaces around the house to clean. Now that doesn't happen every day with a household cleaner ...

Bought this to clean our cookware. The pots came out gleaming. They look as good as the day we bought them. I used a good scrubber to help apply the product, and I left the product on for 5 minutes or so, so it could really work. I did get a very effective arm work out using Bar Keepers Friend.

Five stars simply isn’t enough!!! Bar Keepers Friend is hands down the best cleaning product I've ever used! I've tried countless cleaners over the years, but nothing compares to this one. It works wonders on everything from stainless steel to porcelain, leaving surfaces spotless and gleaming like new. What really sets Bar Keepers Friend apart is its ability to tackle tough stains and grime with ease. I had some stubborn stains on my cookware and bathroom fixtures that no other cleaner could remove—until I tried this. The results were amazing! The formula is powerful yet gentle enough not to scratch or damage surfaces, making it perfect for everyday use. Whether you're dealing with burnt-on food, hard water stains, or just need a reliable cleaner, Bar Keepers Friend is the product you can count on. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for an effective, all-purpose cleaner. This is truly the best product, bar none!

According to reviews, it’s a great product. Haven’t used yet but I dropped a star because one of the cans was broken on receipt. We were wondering why the Box had white powdery stuff when opened. It left a dent in our experience, pun intended.
