I just read all of the suggestions and did not see the one my mom told me about. She just puts water in the pot and lays a dryer sheet in the pan, and let it soak. Sounds weird, but it worked. Good Luck and I am sure one of the suggestions will work...

I use the baking soda with a dash of dish detergent and simmer then let cool down. Go at what is left in the pan and repeat as needed. Sometimes it takes multiple days of soaking and scraping the top off. Sometimes I use the edge of an old teaspoon or soup spoon to get under a particularly crusty spot and pry/pop it off. This is particularly useful, when the steel wool pad only seems to be making the top of the burn shiny.

Pour in a layer of any dishwasher soap (any kind). Add some boiling water and let sit for a few hours. It will loosen and come off. This even works for badly scortched scalloped potato pans that are really, really stuck.

"Some" time after that, I more consciously thought, "hmm, smells like chocolate....OMG!"
When I got to the pot, of course, it was boiling over and the bottom was positively scorched. Had to throw the whole mess out.
My saucepan is a disaster. I want to throw it out, too, but, of course, I'll never be able to find/buy another just like it and it is my very special favorite. So, it's been soaking all day, to no effect, and I've come to ask if anyone has a sneaky, hitherto unknown tip for rescuing me and my pot.
I've got Goo Gone, Dawn, SOS pads, a scraper (which didn't help at all earlier).....can you think of anything else that won't take hours and tons of chemicals?? :cry:

There must have been a disturbance in the pudding force. So glad to see this thread this morning, because my pot is a scorching mess this morning, too.
