boiled dry- non stick saucepan

soooo we accidently boiled dry the saucepan for the steamer the other night...ohhhh the stench..! ive got most of the burnt stuff off the bottom, but is it safe to still use???

AJp i have done this many a time - except i did it when boling dummies and forgot.
So i had steamed melted plastic in the bottom of the pan.

Our pans are expensive so i wasnt going to throw them out (200+ each).
So i would soak in vinegar and boiling water between numerous washes or dish washer cycles.

The smell went eventually and you wouldnt know it ever happened

Yep its fine just make sure you get the burnt off before next use.

thanks guys!! ive been scrubbing them and most of it is off but i cant remove it all, ive used bicarb, vinegar, soaking etc..

If you can't get it off, put some washing powder (clothes washing powder) in the pan, and leave it over night with some warm water. In the morning it will rinse off, just make sure you wash it thoroughly before use
