What would you use...???

DF burnt stuff cooking with one of my good saucepans.
Whats the best thing to use to clean it??? I don't want to throw it out!!!!

[mumofmany]

is it on the inside or outside of the pot.. and.. are the pots stainless steel or ali? Teflon?

[Floweryfields]

I would put in bicarb and hot water and put it back on the stove for a good boil to release the baked on burnt stuff. Then it will just be the elbow grease with pot scrubber.

Strangely a scoop of laundry washing detergent in the pot with some warm water left over night works. This also works on oven racks you can soak them in the sink with the soap powder and they'll be clean by morning. No scrubbing required

[ladybird11]

Bi-carb soda and add some vinegar and watch it peel off of the pan...

It has never ever failed me!!

is this true?? I will love you forever if it is! LOL. I've got a tupperware party on Saturday and we're using the oven and I forgot that they desperately need cleaning. Am going to do the steam & enjo thing for the oven & oven door, but the racks need a helping hand heheh.

Now I've just gotta find a sink big enough... the laundry one might be.. otherwise the bath I guess. altho, probably not really a safe thing with kidlets.. can't shut our bathroom either.. it's all sliding doors that don't lock lol.

This is from Shannon Lush, author of Spotless etc:

Burnt Pan
Sprinkle bicarb into the pan then sprinkle with vinegar. While it's fizzing, scrub with a nylon brush. You may need to repeat this two or three times for bad burns. For bad burns, cover in vinegar and place the pan in the freezer. Then add bicarb and scrub with a nylon brush

What kind of pot is it? Just stainless? Or a teflon one?
I usually soak it and scrape off as much as I can. If it is stainless I have a go at it with a tought steel wool (not the ones which dissintergrate the hard ones).
If it is teflon I use those non scratch scrubbers.
You could try Bi carb and vinegar too.
HTH, I hate when stuff like this happen

[BrightSparkles]

Stainless steel.

Thanks girls.

[mumofmany]

Stainless ... give it a long soak with boiling water..
then go the bi-carb. Mix it in with a lil water, it makes a paste. Smear that, leave it sit and use a steel wool to scrub it off.

Depending on how bad it is.. u may need to do this several times.
