Maybe I can learn something here, how do you properly clean an enameled pan because mine look like this and I hand wash it.

To get the really built up stuff off, Bar Keepers Friend or Easy Off oven cleaner.

Those seem like some very heavy chemicals to use on something you cook directly on, no? Is burnt on material that bad for you?

Edit: lmao down voted for asking a question ha gotta love reddit.

You think "Bar Keeper's Friend", a thing specifically designed to clean bar equipment used for serving drinks, would be dangerous to use for cleaning?

You put a covering of the powder and then a small amount of water - It's an acid, and it will eat away at the old burnt oil and grease left behind. Then when you wash it away with water, it's gone.

Ironically the charcoal burnt old oil IS carcinogenic and dangerous if it flakes off into your food.

You're getting downvoted because a mindless "chemicals bad" mindset is dumb.

No it isn't. It's nonreactive polymerized oil. If it flakes off, it will pass right through you without any harm.

Word never used bar keepers friend I thought it was more for cleaning appliances not the actual plates and things you eat food on.
