Which Bar Keeper's Friend?

Post by ambjeb »

Hey All!

I have noticed a lot of people use Bar Keeper's Friend for rust and patine removal. As I was looking to pick some up, I realized there were seven different kinds..... Which one is the correct one? The gold container of "Cleanser?"

Thanks!

Yes. And Mark shows it in use in a CKTG video. Works great.

I have both of the above and have a little more luck with the powder.

I only use the powder now, it works best and is so cheap. A 21oz can is only a little over $2 at HomeDepot.

I just use the powder, seems like I rarely use on knives but it also is great for the slight discoloration on a stainless pan I seem to get after cooking rice and some other things. Polishes up pan interiors, stainless mixing bowls etc, great to have on hand
