Removing Burns from Stainless Steel Pan

I have a question about cleaning a stainless steel pan: I was heating a thin layer of olive oil in my big frying pan when I got distracted. The oil ended up burning and now my pan has a brownish haze on the bottom which scouring pads, dish soap, dishwasher, and TSP won't remove.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

I did the same thing and I also tried everything suggested on numerous web sites. I finally decided it was the shot and trying a razor scraper. I heated the pan slightly and applied a small amount of non abrasive cleaner. I applied gentle pressure as I scraped and the black and brown stains were removed. It did not effect the cooking or cleaning after doing this. Now my frying pan looks brand new. Hope this works

I scrub my pans, inside and out, with ketchup. They really shine!

Have read that water with a dryer sheet and let sit overnight will do the trick. Never tried it.

As an last resort use "Magic Eraser". I did something similar and that was the only thing that worked. Wash real good afterwards.

Try stewing rhubarb in it.

I had the same problem, I wet down the pan, sprinkled on baking soda and let it sit a few minutes then used a sponge to scrub with the baking soda, it all came off.
