Have you ever tried the Pampered Chef plastic scrapers? They work magic on my cast iron skillets! I highly recommend using one of them the next time you use your cast iron skillet.

We recently switched from nonstick to only cast iron and stainless. I couldn't find barkeeper's friend for a while, so I used baking soda. It works great too as a scouring agent.

Thanks for the tips. Seeing the Barkeepers Friend reminds me: It is the ONLY thing I've found that takes the black marks off my white enamel sink. And they come off EASILY, not with tons of scrubbing. It's a great product to keep around. My sink is probably 20 years old and looks almost like new!

Ketchup cleans copper bottomed pots. Kinda weird, but it works! And I second the pampered chef scrapers!

Best way to clean a pan (or pot), courtesy of my mother: squirt Dawn dishwashing liquid into it, and return it to the heat. Add a little water, and bring it to a boil. All the burned on bits just loosen right up, and you wipe it out with a dishcloth when you dump the yucky water down the drain. No scrubbing needed.
