    I seem to remember being told to put an inch / however so much of the pan is burnt of washing powder into a burnt saucepan. The put in just enough water so no dry powder is visible and leave overnight.

    Worth a try.

    If you use biological washing powder (or liquid, or tablet, or whatever you use) the enzymes in it will start to break down the burnt food. Might take quite a while and lots of scrubbing too!

    I;ve used the bio washing powder. I did hear boiling coke and tried it but didn't find it amazingly successful.

    My all time wonder product is Fairy Power Spray, gets rid of all burnt stuffs. For really bad dishes I've sprayed and scrubbed twice.
    I love surprises!

    i overcooked a pan once, despite loads of soaking and scrubbing, there is still smell of 'burnt'...

    i would scrap it and buy a new one (check out the £1 shops!), or blag a replacement on freecycle.

    a cupful of soda crystals and hot water, leave overnight & then scrub the pan, the 'burnt' should just slide off

    Hi

    I heard that soaking with cola in it will help.

    I just use granulated sugar on a slightly damp wee scrubby sponge. Works wonders.
