burnt pan...what to use?

Hi
I just read this & thought - someone's already mentioned vinegar so I won't reply, cos that's what I use if it happens.
But then I noticed someone suggested washing soda....
Whatever other method you use, never, never, NEVER use washing soda on aluminium!!!! Washing soda eats aluminium and will damage your pan - especially if you leave it overnight.
I can only assume the person who wrote that didn't notice yours was an aluminium pan.0 -
Aaaah - had just put washing soda in & started heating up the pan as I used the last of my vinegar in the chutney & never seem to have much salt around. Thank you so much for that, I need to go to Lidl for some gin to get the damson gin going, so will stock up on vinegar again.
Thanks again.0 -
Does anyone know how to clean a burnt enamel pan please?
It's really burned black and can't use a brillo on it, so thought maybe someone would have an old style way to clean it.
thanks

you could try what i do... soak it in hot water with a teaspoon of salt and a drop of washing up liquid... swirl it and leave it for a bit... dont know how but its always worked for me... my step dad told me it years ago and its never failed xx
Still searching .....:)

Soak it in Hot Water and Biological washing powder overnight. Tomorrow the black stuff will just wipe away.

I always use washing powder and hot water too and leave for a few hours.Works really well.When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile0

washing up liquid and salt tends to be what i use on mine - you do have to be prepared to scrub a bit though (or maybe i'm just impatient)April Grocery Challenge: £250/£127.530

Kim and Aggie boil some cola in the pan, for about 5 minutes.0

I put a couple of spoonfuls of salt in the pan with warm water, bring it to the boil and simmer for a couple of minutes then put a lid on and leave overnight.
Some more ideas here:
