How Do You Easily Clean Scorched Pots And Pans?
If you burn food to the bottom of your saucepan, skillet, or casserole dish, don’t despair. Hours of soaking are not usually necessary if you follow the easy steps below. After you turn off the heat and remove the food from the scorched pan, let it cool a little (but not completely) for a few minutes. Sprinkle baking soda all over the bottom of the pot or pan while it’s still warm, then add a few squirts of dish soap. The two substances will foam on contact and produce a strong, slightly unpleasant smell, so don’t breathe deeply. After the two mix, add hot water to the pot or pan, then begin scrubbing with a dishrag or scrubber. Not too hard, as the combined effects of the soap and soda should make a little elbow grease sufficient. Scrub for a few minutes, or until all traces of the burned food are removed, then rinse.
