Need Help with Pan
#21
I would boil it on the stove with water & salt. That's how Mom always cleaned the cast iron.
I put Calphalon, Analon & Circulon in the dishwasher all the time. The only damage ever done to my skillets was my sons over-using the cooking spray. There is something in the cooking spray that binds to the non-stick part and ruins it if it's not washed right away. I have worn out my Circulon non-stick pans but it took over 10 years cooking with them daily.
If one of my sons took my good stuff to a campfire--they had better come home with a new set. We have cast iron set aside for open flame cooking & they know it. It's too heavy for me to use.

i've had success removing burned on mess using a little liquid fabric softner and water - bring to boil on stove - watch it! then let it sit for a while - maybe overnight. i read that in a 'how to' somewhere.

Beliveve it or not I have done this and it works. My sister forgot a pan on the stove and what was in it burnt to the bottom. I read somewhere that if you put a fabric softner sheet in the pan with some hot water and let it sit for about 20 to 30 minutes. The burnt particles will come right off with very little scrubbing.

tdgiffin, To get any burned food out of a pan, put water in pan, bring to a boil and ,being very careful put baking powder in the pan and allow to set a while. maybe 10-15 minutes. use a scrubby on it and most ,if not all , of the burned food should come right out.

I have scrubbed with Comet after soaking all night, and going after it with a scrubbing pad. Any ideas of how to save the pan? I just can;t scour one more minute. I am pooped, and my skin is getting raw.
