I'm a bit lazy when it comes to removing cooking stains from the inside and burn stains from the bottom of my cookery. Most of those stains are like a badge of honor anyway..... kinda proud of them, if you know my meaning. HOWEVER! A while back I did need to make some fry pans a little more presentable so I pulled out my Black and Decker drill -mounted the circular sanding device to it applied a couple strips of velcro to the sanding surface.....and to that, pressed on three nice fat bundles of steel wool......and went to it. The spinning action of the steel wool really caused havoc with the stains on the bottom of the pans. The final stage was to add some Comet Cleanser and a few drops of oil as a polishing agent. I was having so much fun I even did the neighbor ladies pans for her.
