Dark Blue Stains on a Stainless Steel Pan

I got busy and forgot a small stainless steel sauce pan on the stove. It is the heavy duty kind called Lustre Kraft. It was on the burner with nothing in it for quite a long time before I noticed it. When I finally took it off the burner, it was very discolored, not burnt, however. I tried cleaning it with soft scrub and I thought the stain was gone, but when it dried, the stains are still there, like dark blue and dark stain. How can I clean it and get it back to the shiney stainless steel color again?

Thanks for your help.

Put a couple spoons of baking soda and some water, bring to a boil and then rinse and dry. Most of the stains should come out.

We've done this too. Borax works great for this also. The bottom of the pan is like a mirror again.

RE: Stainless steel spoon tinted blue

What would have made my stainless steel table spoon turn a light tint of blue? I've been using it for months for tea (black Earl Grey) and for a hot lemon drink but never noticed this before. Could it be a combination of the two? pofrATaol.com

For any pan that has been stained especially white porcellin, Rub the sight with toothpaste. Not cheap or with baking soda. Let dry overnight. Wash in hat soapy water and dry as usual. Always works for me.

I used Stainless steel cleaner, and it came right out. Thanks for the tip, however.
