How do I clean my new cooking pots made of stainless steel from IKEA?

Really burnt on gunk in the bottom like milk or blackened food can easily be cleaned out of stainless steel pots and pans by sprinkling baking soda in the bottom, covering with vinegar, let simmer with a little water for 5 min. let cool, scrub out with a vinyl scrubby, takes no effort at all. Works fabulously. You can also use aluminum foil. Simply scrub the bottom of the pan after using the above vinegar/BS method. It works with no odors or hours of waiting. And you won't be afraid to cook food in them because of the POISON (oven cleaner) you put on them.
