I do not like to advertise brand names usually, but to me, Cif lemon spray is the best thing sliced bread!





When I moved in to my flat the previous tennant obviously liked to fry - and not clean! The kitchen door was covered in old fat, and all the surfaces too.





I started with sugar soap but that did not do it. In frustration I picked Cif up and it cut through with no effort. Half a door took 3 days of scrubbing and rubbing and washing etc.





The second half with Cif took minutes!





The metallic cover is called a splatter platter!
Wow, they must be some pretty intense stains.





You many need a heavy duty cleaner to remove these stains. Try this http://frigidaire.stores.yahoo.net/16sts… . It's designed for stainless steel appliances, but I think if you spray and let sit, this cleaner (which is non-toxic) will do a better job of breaking down those stains.





If that works, you may want to take measures to protect the shine. This polish http://frigidaire.stores.yahoo.net/nonam… will help maintain the look and shine of all your steel pots and pans.





I hope this helped and good luck!
Dampen it with water, then sprinkle baking soda on it and wipe it off with a sponge soaked in vinegar. You can add more vinegar as needed.
Try using ';Jif '; %26amp; scrub on it. I find it very useful, use it to remove anything oily %26amp; dirty.
noxon or an y other metal polish should do it. you can also use oven cleaner, but i don't think it'll restore the shine.
try a dishwasher degreaser product
