Heavens that thing is amazing

I'm mad I didn't take a picture. I'm pissed that I never heard of it until last week. This is a true kitchen wonder. I had a nonstick skillet and a stainless steel skillet which I loved dearly and had marks of food on them that I thought I would never get rid of. All I did was wet the dishes, spray them with BKF, let them sit for a few minutes, and brush them down a little with a shiny non-scratch pad. I am shocked. Aside from the scratches on the pan, both look almost brand new. I never would have thought it possible, especially without permanently damaging them. I had a brand new kitchen set only a few months old which I had thrown away due to several issues one of which was everything cooked in them got stuck and they were really ugly which could have been avoided if I it wants to hear about it. BKF. This is no joke. I remember when I was younger we cooked so much it wasn't funny. My mom used to get annoyed with "not doing the dishes properly" because of this problem, and no matter what we tried, we couldn't get the stains out. If we had this material earlier, everything would be fine. But I'm so glad I have it now. Now I can cook like a reckless gremlin, and after that there will be no consequences. I can burn all the steaks or cook as many oxtails as I want. The spots have absolutely nothing to do with BKF. I'm excited. Edit 10/22/21: Okay, I stand by what I said about this stuff being blessed like all others, but a strange incident happened. I was cleaning the house and got the incredible idea to use this thing in the bathroom. Let me tell you, this tub has NEVER sparkled in its scruffy life, and yet here it was, looking fresh off the press. I showered later and I have sensitive skin, so I use a depilatory cream instead of a regular shave. I rinsed off the rest of the cream and I think the chemicals in it reacted with the chemicals in the BJR because after a few seconds my tub looked like someone was using it as a makeshift coffee pot. The photos are not that fair. So I stand there in panic when I get the brilliant idea of using more BKR to get the stains out. Good news, it worked. Bad news it was so hard to scrub off and I had to do it naked. I didn't even finish it because it was difficult. So I had to finish it today. It's not as shiny as it used to be, but I have to admit it still looks better than before. So remember, if you plan on doing anything that involves harsh chemicals in the bathroom after using BKR, plan ahead. Rinse the tub thoroughly, wait a few days or do it in advance. Edit 12/22/21: OK, so I'm not sure I recommend this usage, but I just want to say that we all know that white shoes get dirty quicker than an unattended toddler in a paint shop. I made the terrible mistake of not only getting my shoes stained and scuffed, but decided to wait several months to clean them. The bad news is I still can't get the stains out of the canvas. Good news! I had the brilliant idea of using BKF on the rubber sides, heels and toes of my shoes and cleaning them with an old toothbrush. Let me tell you, I'm still amazed at this stuff. They are so bright, just as beautiful as the day I received them. Again, I'm not sure I recommend this as I don't think BKF should be used for rubber, but really, how many of us have used things for anything other than their intended purpose?
