How to clean stainless steel appliances (kettles, cook tops)

Answer: with soda! and it works!

Add just enough water to 3 tbsp. of baking soda to make a thick paste. Mix the paste until it is the consistency of toothpaste.

Apply the paste to the outside of the kettle. Rub along the metal's grain. Pay special attention to any stained areas of pieces of burnt foods.

Slightly dampen a clean cloth in distilled white vinegar. Rub it on the surface of the kettle to remove the baking soda residue.

Buff the kettle dry with a clean, dry cloth. This will prevent any watermarks or streaks from drying onto the stainless steel surface.
