I love my stainless steel pots and pans that I purchased way back in the day when I was in high school. One thing I am kind of anal about is keeping them clean and shiny.
Well, since I married The Captain, the poor pots and pans stay scorched and burned inside and out. He's a great cook, but thinks that everything has to be cooked on high heat.
No matter how much I scrub them . . . and I have used many different methods . . . they don't come out as clean and shiny as I would like.

The Captain and I often run into great deals on peppers bought in bulk at the military commisary, but it is way too much to use up before they go bad, so we freeze them.
You can do the same thing with onion! I like to cut them up in the way I use most or do combinations and make separate bags.
