Kurly Kates? Takes me back too.

$125 on Amazon - wow...

There has to be a cheaper source.
That's probably a case price, 12 packages of 12. Personally, when I was working as a pot scrubber many years ago, I preferred the bronze Kurly Kates. The stainless steel ones cut up the surface of my gloves.

GLOVES???? You must have worked in a high-end joint!

I love Barkeeper's Friend. It makes cleaning our SS cookware super easy and keeps it looking brand new.

Had to have gloves, the rinse water came in at about 180. The ones supplied went up to my elbows and were heavy duty black rubber. They also had a strong detergent to use, Tetr-Ox if I recall the name right after 35+ years.

P.S. It was in a kitchen at a Hotel School.

Barkeeper's Friend is duct tape for the kitchen. When the glass top stove is a little dingy or has spots where the pan reacted with the glass, I just wipe it down. There is a little bit of abrasive action for the minor gunk a razor blade won't scrape off, but it doesn't scratch. The best part, though, is the chemical action when you leave it sitting awhile. It just cleans everything like magic.

For stainless steel pots and pans, it removes the colored areas and the white powder looking stuff on the bottom with just a little water and swishing.
