Bar Keepers Friend for stainless steel

[stephen129]

So I've read a few times that Bar Keepers Friend is a good product to use to clean stainless steel pans.

Here in the UK I'm not too familiar with it.

I went on Amazon and noticed there were numerous types. What's the difference?

Which one should I buy, (obviously I'd rather spend less money if possible).

You want the powder. I think this is the right one.

I'm trying to work out what this one is (especially as it's over half the price of the other ones).

Get the powder, they sell it in most supermarkets normally. Though I get mine from home bargains as it is so much cheaper.

The powder is for more heavy-duty applications.

Yeah I read that. Still can't work out what this one is:

Not sure. It looks like it's the same thing as the soft cleanser. I wouldn't over-think it. Just get a tin of the powder. It works well, goes a long way, and you won't be sorry having bought it.

This is the one I use. It’s great. The liquid ones aren’t as good. I’ve tried them before because they’re cheaper here. Ryan

See if you can find a recipe. It’s just oxalic acid

I love how it smells. Weird huh?

Love the powder.

The liquid was pretty useless for me. It worked fine right up until it didn't work at all, when it solidified into a solid slug in the bottom of the bottle. I guess if I used it a lot and shook the bottle up regularly it would be OK. But why bother when the powder works so well?

Powder in the gold shaker.
