Introduction
We all have things we love about our kitchens. I love my big stainless steel sink. I also love my cast iron skillet. Unfortunately, these two faves don't mix, especially when my sink is so well-loved (aka scratched).
Here's what happened: The weather finally turned a somewhat-chilly 65 degrees down here in sweltering Texas, so I made some veggie chili and skillet cornbread. I left the cleanup to my (dear) other half. Whoops! After a night in the sink: Hello, rust.
Luckily, removing rust from stainless steel isn't a big deal. You probably have what you need in your pantry. For more muscle, store-bought cleaners cost next to nothing — a can of Bar Keepers Friend is two or three bucks.
Whether you have a rust ring in your sink, a little spot on a mixing bowl, or a bigger spot on your toaster or dishwasher, these tried and true methods I've been using for years will get your stainless steel gleaming again.
