Scratches on Stainless Steel Cookware

[Nfldfran]

Unfortunately my husband scratched my ss pan while I was away. He apparantly stirred whatever he was cooking too vigorously. He won't admit what he used but it was obviously something sharp and pointed.

I tried the ss cleaner but the scratches are still there. has anyone experienced this? Do you have any suggestions to help?

I am not able to demo it in the current state.

I wish I could help. Husbands....argggg. I don't have any help for you, but can't wait until someone maybe has a suggestion.

Ugh - I'm sorry your husband ruined one of your pans, too. My hubby used a fork on my brand-new non-stick Executive Saute Pan - I almost killed him!! I would call HO to see what they suggest.

I have scratches in mine and cheerfully ignore them. To me, the beauty of having cookware that is not non-stick is that you don't have to be picky about what you stir it with!

, I am so sorry to hear about your scratched ss pan. It's always frustrating when something like that happens, especially when it's caused by someone else. I have definitely experienced this before and have some suggestions that may help. First, try using a non-abrasive cleaner, like Bar Keepers Friend, to gently scrub the scratches. If that doesn't work, you can also try using a mixture of baking soda and water to create a paste and gently rub it onto the scratches. Let it sit for a few minutes before wiping it off. If those methods don't work, you can also try using a stainless steel polish to buff out the scratches. Hopefully one of these solutions will work for you and your pan will be as good as new. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Happy cooking!
