I clean burnt pot bottoms by putting about 1/4 cup table salt and cold water and let it soak for a day .

If none of the above ideas work, it must be time for an upgrade to a new model :)

Wish this had been posted last week. We canned fish and the bottom of my pressure cooker ended up with a burnt layer (obviously we had too little water in the pressure cooker to start with). I finally got it clean with elbow grease but took several days of scrubbing.

I would just fill it with water, and turn it on low for a few hours- to a couple days. I have done this in mine and it worked. Good luck. Glad to know I am not the only one. :oops:

Put water in it and add half a box of baking soda, turn the heat on, and leave it all day - or overnight - or longer
until it softens. Stir it now and then. The chemistry will work for you, here.

Go get some Greased Lightning and spray it, let it set for a bit and then wipe it out and wash it. I betcha it gets it out!

I need help cleaning mine too... but that's because I've left something in it and I think it's become a new life form. :( It scares me.

Any volunteers?

I would drop in a TABLET OR SOME LIQUID THAT YOU USE IN YOUR DISHWASHER. i USE THAT METHOD IN EXTREME CASES. WORKS like a charm. sorry bout the caps. let it sit all night with very hot water.
