What's the best degreaser for all around kitchen use? I like to get all of my pans and utensils really clean and need to cut the grease quickly and effectively. Commercial products or your own recipe...
TIA

I like Dawn for dishes. It's what they use on the birds when there's an oil spill.

Dawn followed by baking soda for tougher stains.
If there's a British food store near you, see if they have Fairy dishwashing liquid, which is very strong. Also get one of those hand-held wooden bristle brushes.

Formula 409 is pretty good for general kitchen cleaning, Clancurrey. For keeping my pots and pans free of crud, I use Barkeeper's Friend when I can't find Bon Ami.

Dawn is an unstoppable degreaser. High quality. Does the work for you.

For my stainless pots and pans.....(To keep them sparkling shiny) and looking like new......CAMEO cleanser.

Great suggestions and I have and use all of the mentioned except the "Fairy" which for the name alone I would love to find. How fun.
Now want to suggest something that I find does pretty good work on lots of things---Spic and Span. I use the granule type like scouring cleanser on my Circulon items where it is nearly impossible to get into and clean those grooves to my satisfaction.
And if you can ever find it, the Spic and Span spray is wonderful. Nearly non-existant anymore though.
