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...

If you soak it with vinegar the burnt on stuff will just peel off. I learned this from my dmi..
|
Ammonia sometimes works too.

I love miracle erasers..They can get just about anything off LOL..I use it for my pots..

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.

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: Jan in VA 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. |
Put it in a trash bag pour some ammonia in it close tight and let set over night. If you try some of these things your pan should be clean or disolved. Good Luck

Jan, I too have done this but now when I make pudding I do it in the microwave... turns out perfect..
|
When I've burnt tomato soup on my pans, I boil baking soda and let it sit. The burnt stuff pretty much just falls off then.
