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!

I call it seasoning. It’s what keeps food from sticking. Go into any restaurant and you will find a pan or two that they use in high heat that is pure black.
Edit. Scrubbing will only make it worse by scratching the metal and making it harder to clean. Enjoy the black pans as a sign of a good cook.
