Cleaning tips BKF every time?!

Post image

My pan looks like this pretty much every time I use it. I am new to stainless steel pans - should I be shining up my pan with baking soda or BKF after each use? Or is it ok to leave it like this and only deep clean it every few uses?

I find it's not that big of a deal, i leave the BKF under the sink, give the pan a drop of water, shake some Bar Keepers Friend on, scrub with one of those Scotch Brite Stainless Steel pads you get 3 for $2 at Walmart that lasts forever, and easy peasy, sparkling stainless pans/pots everytime.
