Try using white vinegar and baking soda. Sprinkle the baking soda all around and then squirt around some vinegar. Use just enough to cover the bbq sauce. Cover the top of the pot with foil and let it soak for a several hours possibly overnight. I do this all of the time and it works great for me even on my pots and pans. Usually after soaking, all I have to do is wipe it out with paper towels and then wash as usual. Hope it works for you. :)

I posted once but wanted to add that using the crock pot liner bags make it all so much easier. I love them.

Do any of you have a suggesting for removing the baked on bbq sauce?



Fill it with the boiling water, add automatic dish washer soap and soak overnight. Cover it to keep the water hot longer.

I've cleaned "burnt" pots by filling the pot with water and adding CREAM OF TARTAR. I find it in the seasonings section of the store. Perhaps you could set your pot of high and run it for a day and see what happens.

fill with vinegar or water and baking soda and put it in the oven on 400 for about two hours...then turn the oven off and leave the pot sit over night!

Why not try cream of tartar and water, turn pot on low for a couple of hours. That is what I used when something sticks to my pans.
Good luck.
