    Hi choille,

    Hot water and washing powder left to soak usually removes most of it. There's an existing thread with more ideas that should help so I've added your post to it to keep the suggestions together.

    Thanks all - read all the thread.
    Haven't got non-bio soap powder. But tried boiling it with salt - seemed to get off a fair amount of inch thick burnt on jam. Then tried boiling it with soda crystals & have left it to soak in that till the morning - seems hopeful.

    Cheers.

    Hiya, I love kim and aggie and they used Biological washing powder - not non-bio. Non-bio doesnt have the same enzymes to break it down.

    Go for boiling it with Bio Powder.

    I also saw an episode where they used coca-cola and brought it to the boil.....that lifted it off too....

    Good luck x

    Interesting. most enzymes work best at about 40 degrees
    Boiling them denatures them and they dont work.
    Who I am is not important. What I do is.

    Sorry - my mistake. I meant to say that I only have non-bio as I hand wash being in a caravan.

    If what I've used doesn't work I'll scrounge some bio powder of someone.

    Thanks all.

    Ok so I havent read the thread so this might already have been suggested but if I ever manage to burn stuff to the pan (or when I have been at m&d's and Dad has manged to weld scrambled egg to the pan - AGAIN) I use ciff or jiff or whatever the wheeeeech its called now.
    If you leave it on for a while it seems to do the job nicely!

    Cheers guys - plenty of tips on here.

    Agree about the coke - what's it doing to folks innards if it'll shift that lot?

    I havn't read all of this thread, sorry, but I've realised its about cleaning the pan.

    I have a burnt pan which I use for boiling beetroot as that normally stains, this way it dosn't matter :beer:

    A soak in Biological washing powder works well.
