I recently cooked a pork roast in my crock pot using BBQ sauce. Well, I must have let it cook too long because the bbq sauce is now part of the bottom of the crock pot. I don't know how to get it to come clean. I have soaked it for days, I have chipped at it with a butter knife, I have boiled it, nothing is removing it. Do any of you have a suggesting for removing the baked on bbq sauce?

Since it seems to be ruined, I'd fill it with water, cover it, put it in a corner of the garage and forget about it. I'd check it again come September or October. If it softens I'd finish cleaning it and be happy to have a 2nd pot, because by then I would have replaced it.

hahahahaha! That's what I've been thinking!

i cleaned burnt food off my stainless steel skillet by soaking with CLR. worked like a charm. you might try that.
some say baking soda works though. |
I use the scrap pads that come with my pampered chef stoneware. I've seen similar scraping pads in Walmart or Meijer. Here are the pampered chef ones for reference: http://www.pamperedchef.com/ordering...&outletSubCat=
They are designed to scrap the food off the stoneware since you're not supposed to use soap in stoneware. I've used them on other bakeware, pots & pans, and even my iron skillet. |
I might put water with baking soda in the crock pot and turn it on over night. This should soften the cooked on material.
|
try putting vinegar in it and let it cook.
|
Leave it out in the sun for a few days, I've had success doing that, it seems to dry it out and the gunk lifts off. Good luck, hope you don't have to trash it!!
|
I would try soaking it with dishwasher soap.
|
Then once you get it clean, use the crock pot lining bags, you can find them by ziploc storage bags. They are sooo worth it!
