Burnt Saucepan!

Please help a useless woman who has burnt the bottom of her saucepan with stewed apple for a toddler who wouldn't stop shouting long enough for me to turn the b#~**=y thing off.

How can I get it clean?

    Try soaking it with a scoup of washing powder and a little water overnight, and hopefully it will all come off......good luck!

    The washing powder needs to be biological ;)

    Or use cola and bring to the boil and leave to cool, then wash as normal.

    If the cola and biological powder fail, try a pneumatic drill or an industrial sander!!! I have exactly the same problem with the pan I so proudly made green tomato chutney in on Sunday. The chutney was salvaged, the pan is destined for the pan graveyard. :o

    Assuming that is due to the acidity of the rhubarb, then I would assume lemon juice or vinegar should also work? :confused:

    There are other threads in the Cleaning section of the MEGA Index sticky at the top of the forum.

    Some of them actually got results! :)

    Boil some water and onion peelings in the pan. Leave overnight to cool and hopefully in the morning the burnt food will scrape off easily.

    Thanks to all of you for helping. I haven't got any cola or biological washing powder in the house, so I think I will try the vinegar or the onion trick.

    Also, I have to say I am useless when it comes to housey-type-tips but it's not cos I'm a woman, it's just cos I'm me!!! (But my family love me!)
