Can you ruin a stainless steel pan?

stainless pans will stain (yellowish, in my experience) when exposed to very high heat. However, you cannot damage those pans under normal cooking temperatures, only stain them. I would even go so far as to recommend saving a few dollars by buying stained steel pans instead of NIB.

How do you get brown stains off of stainless steel?

To remove stains from stainless steel, mix equal parts of liquid dish soap and baking soda to form a paste. Dab the paste onto an old toothbrush and gently scrub the stain along the grain of the steel. For stubborn stains, dab a brush into undiluted vinegar, scrub the stain, then wipe the vinegar away with a cloth.

How do you get rid of heat discoloration on stainless steel?

Dip a soft cloth in vinegar and rub over the surface of the stainless steel. The heat streaks should start to rub off of the metal and transfer onto the cloth. Continue to rub the surface of the steel vigorously until no more streaks come off of the surface.
