>do not use on stainless steel appliances, sink or glassWait what?
>>21964219It's too scrubby, it will scratch those surfaces
>>21964219Aluminum oxide.
>>21964219Even these the package warns to test on an inconspicuous area first as may scratch some surfaces.I didn't and they left scratch marks on brushed stainless steel.
>>21964219>>21964269who cares man. your SS is going to get scratches eventually. it has no bearing on its ability to conduct heat and it's not like people are coming over to be wowed by your 15 year old all clads
>doesn't say anything about teflonour time has come boys
>>21964219You can if nobody sees you
>>21964274Abrading stainless steel makes it more susceptible to corrosion.
>>21964219Just use a scrub daddy.
>>21964219Scotch Brite pads are basically plastic embedded with abrasive particles, with the exception of maybe a couple types that are just basically plastic. The abrasive particles are usually aluminum oxide, which is basically sapphire, in hardness, and just below diamond, and then silicon carbide, in the hardness scale. The aluminum oxide abrasive will basically scratch and abrade almost everything, and can fuck up surfaces on enamel, and stainless steel, and pyroceramic glass, and ceramic dishes, etc. aluminum oxide will even scratch and abrade cast iron to an extent, although cast iron naturally has silicon carbide particles in the structural matrix, which is the reason trying to smooth out rough cast iron pans with basic hardware store sandpaper is expensive, since most hardware store sandpaper in aluminum oxide based. Stainless mesh scouting pads will at most burnish the surface of stainless steel a bit, and are fairly mold in use. Barkeeper’s Friend has a feldspar or glass abrasive, that will smooth surfaces a bit, but which is mostly mild in use. (Over time the BF will smooth an polish brushed surfaces inside pans).
