I do more or less the same as Ethel....sometimes I use a soapy Brillo pad and a bit of elbow grease... it doesn't scratch no matter what people say to the contrary. . Hobrite is just Jif or any own brand cream cleaner with a fancy name .
I use the Barkeepers friend (which is a powder)...And what that doesn't shift I just use the blade thing that came with it....It takes no time at all and it's spotless
