burnt pan...what to use?

smiler34

I've scrubbed away but can't get the line of burnt from the middle how do I get it off??

soak it with biological soap powder, maybe even switched on for a couple of hours.

I was going to say biological powder as well. Otherwise try soda crystals and very hot water and leave overnight.

Was cooking rice last night and didn't realise that I had walked away with the ring on max rather than min, so now have a very black saucepan bottom. Any suggestions on what I can use to clean it?

Do you mean inside or out.

Inside, layer of salt and a bit of water.

Leave overnight with Coke in it, coca cola that is.:D

Lots more tips will come along soon.

ahh thats my trick usually!!:cool:
If its the inside bottom of the pan I chuck washing powder in the pan add some HOT or boiling water (not loads just to cover the burn) and leave for a few hours,until it comes off, u will see when its 'ready' the burnt bits just lift off it will then be so much easier to clean.
Not sure about the outside bottom maybe it would work on that too.

Now I know why I don't like Coke, if it can do that to the bottom of your saucepan, what on earth does it do to your teeth?! Thanks, will try that tonight.

on the outside, use stardrops and a scourer or a mix of vinegar and bicarb in warm water and a scourer. It won't take too much effort for it to start to shift.

simmer a mix of water and bio washing powder ( must be bio but cheap will do!!).

Definitely cola (any cheapo brand will do!) I recently got fruit & sugar burnt to the bottom of my trusty preserving pan. Tried the salt treatment to no avail. Then left it soaking overnight in cola and boiled up next morning - the burnt layer almost lifted off. Magic!
