Hi all would boiling water and salt remove the burt on carbon on oven racks and grill pan

I wait til everyone's used the shower, then use a scoop of washing powder in the bath, fill with hotwater til the racks and pan are covered, leave it overnight, rinse in the morning.

To get the burnt on crud off with the boiling salt water, the offending item has to be immersed in the water and boiling for a few minutes. Might be a little bit difficult with something as big as grillpan trays and oven racks.

I'm gonna give Troo's tip a whirl on my manky revolting oven shelves :T

I have a burnt pan (dont ask!!!) that is really really black...the shape of the potatoes are still on the bottom. Now I dont have much in the way of cleaners and so far nothing has worked. Any ideas?

I think I'd use a credit card to clean it if it was mine

Hi there,

I know I'm going to sound like an idiot but I really hope someone has a good idea to solve my silly problem. I have accidently really burnt a good quality stainless steel saucepan and nothing seems to get the black marks off. Any ideas most gratefully received! Thank you :-)

if you've got some coca cola left over, try soaking the pan in that. i'm sure that's what i used once when i burnt a pan ages ago :rolleyes:

Last time I did it I got it clean by scouring with salt and a little water and then used bicarb to get rid of the burnt smell.

Thank you all very much for your replies. I'm going to work my way through them later (I've a fun friday night in store!!). I'll let you know what does the trick! Thanks again :beer:

Ohh, I did the same thing a few weeks ago! Just wanted to add a word of warning... I let it steep then decided the way forward was to boil water with washing up liquid in it. I forgot all about putting the pot on & was wondering what the horrible burning soapy smell was for a good wee while ... till I remembered! :eek:

I made it 10 times worse!! :rotfl:

I eventually got it clean again, but since have heard salt is best, as it works as a natural abrasive. Good luck!
