Can steel wool soap pads (Brillo or SOS) be used on the inside of the stainless steel pots and pans? Will the pads cause scratches?

They do not recommend that you use steel wool or other abrasive cleaners. We simply soak ours for a little while and it comes clean with elbow grease.

I never wash pans with steel wool or Brillo pads. They do create scratches and I believe that makes cleaning in the future more difficult. If you have stubborn stuck on food I find it best to put a little amount of dish detergent and water in the pan and bring it to a boil stir the stuck on leavings (deglazing the pan) when it is sufficiently cool enough to handle scrubbing with a soft plastic brush or scrubbing pad usually does the job. I would definitely keep metal scrubbing pads away from fine cookware.

I would never use steel wool to clean this product. Surface is easily scratched. Clean by soaking in warm water and use paper towels to remove stuck on food.

For All-Clad pans with a stainless surface, you may use metal or other types of utensils. Obviously you don't want to apply too much pressure, to avoid scratching. But metal utensils are not harmful to the surface. On All-Clad nonstick, you want to use something other than metal such as silicone or wood.

It's not non-stick - I can usually get things off just with a brillo pad and regular dish detergent. But we also tend to put aluminum foil on top if we know it's going to be something messy. I probably wouldn't use an SOS pad because it might scratch of the enamel.

I would be careful and tread lightly with an SOS pad. Probably it wouldn't hurt, especially if you didn't exert a lot of pressure, but if you scratch the surface, that area will always be a sticking point, as well as a place for rust to start. I've never found an SOS to be necessary. I always grease, butter or spray my pan, and if something does stick, I let it soak a little while, then use a plastic scrubber, and it always comes right off. Happy roasting!

Water and soap like anything else. If you want them to stay scratch less use a delicates sponge. But even with scratches it looks nice. And if it begins to have dis coloring you can wash with any stainleas steel cleaner

Are you cooking with metal spoons? These pots have not scratched until my mother cooked in them for TXGIVING and used a metal spoon.Otherwise they show no signs of wear.

First of all, it is a coated, non-stick surface. NEVER use a metal pad to clean it. I soak it with DAWN and use the point of a wood skewer to clean the corners out. I use this pan at least once a week, and it still looks almost brand new. NOTE: If you have scratched the coating by using Brillo, it has lost its non-stick features. You may want to get a new one and clean it differently. I hope this helps.

Although you could use stainless steel utensils, I prefer to use wooden or heat tolerant silicone utensils to help keep the inside of the pots and pans scratch-free.

No. It is for cast iron. It covers rust and blackens cast iron so it has a new look with a subdued polished look. Definitely would NOT work on stainless steel. There are cleaners designed specifically for stainless steel. I have been able to clean stainless steel cookware inside as well as on "finished" outer side with "Bar" brand cleanser and obtain a nice shine and without scratching the finish. You might try that in a not too evident area and see if it would work. Good luck.

You could if you are careful. I think if it is held at a steeper angle it probably would scratch. I use mine on nonstick, but they are scratch resistant.

I have used it mostly on my stainless steel but I have only tried it once on my anonized cookware and it did no damaged as a matter of fact on that type of cookware it acted like Ajax does when it cleans. It did not scratch or do damage. Hope this helps

I must be extremely careful because I use this set in my camper on a propane stove. Cooking with oil and hand washing hasn't been a problem. On the other hand, I bought this exact set for my wife in the kitchen. She puts them in the dishwasher and the outside surfaces have faded and have splotches all over them. Inside surfaces are perfect.

I use an SOS pad to clean mine. It does not damage the finish. I have cleans it several times.

This product is excellent! I have stainless steel cookware with copper bottoms, which I use almost on the daily basis. I found cleaning my cookware with this product doesn't leave any scratches and will not use anything else. As to the burn marks on the edges inside of your steel fry pan, I would suggest you apply a very small amount to a soft cloth or paper towel and rub that area lightly.

I use all of the above to clean with but SOS pads clean the best of all of them. The grill does not leave marks on the meat, it is a broiler pan and the heat comes from the top not the bottom.

Yes I purchased both. I found this one to be "friendlier" on stainless steel which you did not want to see any scratches on, when using. This one appears to have a much finer powder to it. Use it with the sponges which are non scratch and you'll have new looking pans. I use it about once a week to make sure there is no oil build up on the sides. Works like a charm in eliminating burnt on oil as well.
