Bar Keeper's Friend

One of my pots or pans came with a sample pack of Bar Keeper's Friend cleaner. It's the best thing I've found for getting rid of the blue discoloration that affects some of my stainless steel cookware.

Can anyone tell me where I can find more of that stuff? Somewhere near South Etobicoke or eastern Mississauge would be great.

    On another site, Bon Ami was said to be same as Bar Keeper's Friend.

      No, it isn't. Bon Ami is much nicer to use, but Bar Keepers Friend is the only heavy duty cleaner that works well on eally messed up stainless steel and is the only effective cleaner for anodized.

      You can order online or by phone from Ashton Green in Ottawa.

        Calphalon at Spadina & King also carries it.

          I'm pretty sure that Williams-Sonoma carries it.

            I think our Linens and Things carries it also. I'll give you mine. Something about the smell really turns me off. Very metallic. Kinda like cough syrup I guess, in that it's nasty but it works.

              Definitely Williams-Sonoma, bought some there a few months ago.

              I haven't seen it in Toronto, but I have seen it in Walmart and Linen & Things in the USA so our Walmarts might very well stock it.

              For a sure thing, you could try the following locations that are listed on the official Bar Keepers Friend site:
