    You'll need to pick the best bits from these...

    Pans:
    - Burnt on rice
    - Burnt Porridge
    - Burnt pan...what to use?
    - Pans dull after being in dishwasher

    Washing soda in the stainless steel one really moves it - just soak overnight

    Hi, Im sure this is probably in the wrong but wondered if anybody knew if i could restore a pan that i boiled dry tonight? It is stainless steel and the bottom is now rather dis-coloured due to my cooking skills, or lack of them:o

    You could try boiling some tinned tomatoes in it or white vinegar if you can stand the smell! I regularly boil potatoes dry (and burnt potatoes stink in themselves):o
    I have plenty of willpower - it's won't power I need.
