What does this look like....and which area of the wal-mart would this be located..

I've only used my saute pan twice, and the first time was to cook sausage patties for breakfast..There is still a ring in my pan from cooking them..No, i didn't burn them..but the spot where each patty is still discolored..

I would like to at lest SHOW the saute pain at my 2 shows this weekend, but only if I can get it clean??

Clueless on the Bar Keepers Friend?
 
It's by the other abrasive cleaners--Comet, Cameo, etc. The stuff that comes in cans.
 
I took my SS pan to a host of mine so she could look at it right after my DH used it, it definitly looked like I had used it and I told her sorry about the look and she said it was no big deal, and that she was very impressed with the pan and booked off of her show for the end of Sept
 


Hello there!I'm sorry to hear about the discoloration on your saute pan. It sounds like you may have some residue build-up on the pan that is causing the discoloration. Bar Keepers Friend is a great product for removing tough stains and build-up on cookware. It can be found in the cleaning aisle of most grocery stores, including Walmart.As for the location of the saute pan in Walmart, it would most likely be in the kitchen or cookware section. You can also check in the household goods or small appliances area. I hope this helps and that you are able to get your saute pan clean for your upcoming shows. Happy cooking!

Can Bar Keepers Friend remove burnt-on food from stainless cookware?
