Is is safe to use a stainless steel pan that has been cleaned with bleach (Comet)? I have been cleaning my stainless steel pan with Comet for quite some time now and have only now come to know that I shouldn't be using bleach on stainless steel. If I clean it with dish soap and hot water, will that be enough? Is there anyway to make it reusable?
Can you smell bleach?
If yes, rinse it &amp; use it.
If not, just use it.
Is it stained?
If not, just use it.
If yes, you can remove the staining with bicarbonate paste made with water or Barkeeper's Friend.  


Once any staining is gone, the natural coating [chromium oxide passive layer] will reform.
Just cook with it as normal.
