so last night i had a terrible chain of events , i was babysitting my younger sisters for a few hours . i was starting to make them dinner when my sister came into the kitchen and told me the light bulb in the bathroom exploded. before anyone got hurt i rushed into the bathroom to clean it all up. only a minute and a half later i came into the kitchen and found the stainless steel copper bottomed frying pan smoking . i had put it on my glass top oven on medium . i saw a a big brown spot in one corner but assumed that it was just burn oil and i would wash it off later . so i cooked the cubed chicken in it and then i put it in the sink. later i went too wash it and it wouldnt come off . i even used the special cleaner we have for them ( new pots and pans set) and it wouldnt come off . i think the finish came off . my parents rarley use it so i put it in the back of the cabinet ( small pan ) . did i ruin the pan .
pans i have

It doesn’t look ruined. I think it is just burnt oil. You need to take some steel wool or a steel sponge to it and scrub the hell out of it. It won’t be easy but it should come off.
Try cleaning it with ketchup. Rub ketchup all over it and wait then see if it comes off. The acid in ketchup is used to clean copper bottom pots and pans. If it doesn’t work than yes you have ruined it
I did the same thing.My mom said that it wont come off when I showed her what happened.
sorry i couldn’t be much of a help. D=
Good luck to you,bye bye
why is this in fashion
I don’t think so - basically what you have done is seasoned it, like you would a cast iron skillet.
You can remove this with a brillo pad, which is a soap-impregnated steel wool pad. If you don’t have that, and don’t want to go buy them, then get some steel wool and use it with some soft scrub (and a little elbow grease), and you should have that pan spic and span in no time.
