I was heating up tortillas street taco style where they get nice and charred on my stainless steel pan. I didn't use any oil, and some of them burned on the surface of the pan. I figured I'd be able to clean it off, but now I have these hard burned on carbon deposits from the tortillas that won't wash off; I even soaked it overnight and tried to scrub a dub dub. How the hell do I clean this shit off? Pic related.

Will something like this work with baking powder?

Yes, you're just looking for a light abrasive which is commonly what baking soda will do.

I just saw you put baking powder, that might work, but baking soda is usually what is used. Barkeepers friend is a similar thing also, its a white powder with detergents acting in the same way.

Seeing as the original post is /ck/ related and not spam, I fail to see why it is an absolute must that I have to use Google to get answers.

Only use steel wool if boiling white vinegar and water for an hour or so doesn't lift the residue first.

It worked for me, and my pot was in a lot worse condition than your pan.

Be careful-- if it boils over, and you don't clean things up right away, the acid might leave stains. In that case, just clean up the stains with a little paste made out of water and baking soda. That's cleaned up many a mess on iron oven grates over the years for me.

Next time heat the tortillas directly over the burner. You can do it with gas or electric. They get an authentic char that way and you don't fuck up your pans.

On amazon, they actually put it on "these items are often bought together"

OP do you not have a microwave? 7 seconds and those things are ready for use. Just wrap them in foil first. Why ruin a pan for it when the pan surely did nothing to you to deserve that. I'm so tired of the HURR DURR METAL HURTS MICROWAVES. No jackasses. They made them that way so you can brown foods in the microwave. If you want them browned or maillard reaction you add the tin foil or other metal around it. Really tired of every one believing every meme they see.

Because you waste board space for a problem that is so simple my five year old could figure it out.
