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!

Little bits of food get on the bottom of the pan. Then you put it over heat/flame. Then the stuff gets cooked to the bottom. Then it turns to carbon and become very hard to get off without chemicals but white vinegar and backing soda can sometimes take it off. Or barkeepers friend.
