I had an enamel pan - baked hard with chutney - tried the salt - no good - tried the rhubarb - no good, tried the coke - no go. Put bio washing liquid in with LOADS of Vanish and after about 2 hours bubbling away AND a night of soaking in same solution - it cleared/cleaned beautifully. Amazing really as the "burnt offerings" was at least ¼" thick on the bottom

Thanks everyone

My first port of call would be soda crystals. They worked brill when renovating equipment in the equipment loft I took over at the Scout HQ.

Soak the pan for ages in a fairly strong solution, and wash the walls with it as well

I second this, except instead of just soaking the pans you should heat the soda crystals/water solution in the pan on the hob until the burntness comes off

If you don't have soda crystals (shame on you!) then this also works really well with ordinary washing powder, and smells nice too

Evening all..long time me no post!!
While making French Onion Soup today, I burnt the onions to the stainless steel pan .
I'm sure there is an old fashioned remedy for this, but not sure which one. I have got household soda, white vinegar, and bicarb..surely one of them, or a combination would do the job. Anyone know??

Thank you,
Jackie;)

The same thing happened to me yesterday. Pour loads of cooking salt into it and fill to the top with hot water and leave for about an hour. Then rinse and scour with a brillo pad and it comes off a dream.

I think I used Coke once...and then brillo for the hard to remove bits.

I was going to suggest salt boiled up in a little soappy water & then left too cool before cleaning. Maybe even some salt added to neat washing up liquid to help scour the pan.
dont tell hubby but the blocks he got for cleaning the metal bits of his motorbike/car take the REALLY hard marks off my stainless pans too:whistle:

Instead of a Brillo pad, try those scouring pads made from twisted and coiled stainless steel.

I just add boiling water to the pan and leave it for a while. When that doesn't work I simmer the water for a while and that always works.
