STEP 2: Pour the white vinegar into the spray bottle and spray the entire surface that you have covered in baking soda. The mixture will start to foam. Allow to set for 30 seconds.

THE VERDICT: After scrubbing for a few minutes, a lot of caked-on grease was removed from the pan. It wasn’t quite as easy as just wiping it away, and it did not remove all the stains, or work on all the pans we tried. However, it does work pretty well on stainless steel and is worth trying on pans with lighter staining.
