We were given a tiny sample of this wonder product made by Servaas Laboratories, called Barkeeper’s Friend back in 2001 when we built our first home that came along with our stainless steel Franke sink. What Barkeeper’s Friend does, is clean and polish your stainless steel pots, pans, and kettles to a brand new shine. I wash the item like normal with dish soap and water, then sprinkle some of the product on and wash again, and voila! It even removed caked & baked on oil from the bottom of our kettle with ease. And the best thing is you can purchase it at any store that sells cleaning products. The price? $ 2 and change. OVERALL: Highly effective, safe and easy to use, thrifty.
