I’m doing a whole mess of dishes while my kid is asleep and i just finished washing pots and pans. I scrub the heck out of them but there’s always some black and brown coloration on the bottom of it. am I using too much heat so there’s something happening to the metal? if it’s not happening to the metal itself what is it and why does it seem like it refuses every effort I make to clean it?
edit: since it seems i wasn’t clear enough initially, but bottom of the pan i did indeed mean the underside that is in contact with the burner, not the interior bottom of the pan!

Get some Barkeepers Friend. Follow the instructions, problem solved.
But to answer your question, yes, there is something happening. Usually it’s the pan being too hot. Assuming you have stainless pans, if food is sticking, it’s probably lack of oil/butter or failure to preheat prior to lubricant. Do water tests for balling (leidenfrost effect) before placing protein rich foods.
