I love my stainless steel cookware. Nothing sears like it, and it's the only thing to use for high heat cooking. But my pans are starting to look like pretty bad. I've used Brillo pads on them and it's gotten a lot (but not all) of the burnt black off, but now I have discoloration and white blotches.

I know I can't restore these pans to looking like new; I just need to know the proper care. How clean exactly should I expect them to get?

With all the recent product recalls, I am concerned that cookware made in China might be contaminated in some way too.
I am especially interest in stainless steel cookware.
I would also appreciate recommendations for safe stainless cookware.

I've recently bought a stainless steel electric frying pan and in the guide it explained how to season it - which I did. I've used it a few times and the seasoning has pretty much worn off. Should I redo it, and continue to redo it? What about my other stainless steel cookware - saucepans etc - that I've never done - is it worth doing it to them as well?
