How to clean & shine All-Clad stainless cookware?

Question

We have a set of All-Clad stainless cookware. Over the years, a few of the pans have developed stubborn stains on the outside that make them look ugly. (We hang them overhead in our kitchen.)

I've tried many different cleansers and Brillo pads, I even took a dremel to the bottom of one.  But nothing seems to remove what appears to be cooked on grease spots 

Any suggestions on how to get them shiny again?

Thank you!

Use stainless steel cleaner.

Sometimes, I use Comet & a good nylon O-Boy scrubber they're like a round ball & orangy.  They've been around for ages!  They're found at the groceries.

I love Bar Keeper's friend, but one thing that helps is boil water in a larger pot and immerse the pot that you are scrubbing in the boiling water.  I used a large wok to boil my pans.  The hot water softens and lifts up those stubborn grease deposits I then apply Bar Keeper's Friend and was able to completely strip years of thick baked on grease in a 24 hour period.  You may need to reboil the pot several times, but it works so much better than just BKF alone.  It cut down the amount of elbow grease that I had to use.

I've used Bar Keeper's Friend with pretty good luck.  LOL, there's no short cut for elbow grease though.
