We've all done it - let rice burn to a mahogany crisp in the pot, or forgotten about a stew until it's simmered down to a solid layer of char at the bottom of your Dutch oven. You could hide the pan in the back of the pantry and hope the scrubbing fairies come to visit, or you could try these tips for cleaning burnt pots:1) Fill the pot with water, add a squirt of dishwashing soap and bring to a boil. Simmer for a few minutes, then allow to soak for an hour.
2) Scrub the pot again.
3) If food remains, try covering the pot bottom with a thick paste of baking soda and water and allowing to sit overnight. Then add two tablespoons of white vinegar and water, bring to a boil, simmer for 10 minutes, then allow to sit overnight again.
Do you have any good tips for cleaning burned food out of your pots?
