Cleaning a burned pot

I cooked a roast a couple days ago and the sauce I put on it burned to the side & bottom of the pot. The roast was really tasty and I put the pot in the sink to soak overnight thinking it'd come clean. Well forget it. I scrubbed the thing for 15 minutes and got about 10% of it done and gave up. Any suggestions on getting the shit out?

Oven cleaner

Let it sit overnight then just whipe it out.

Depends on the pot, oven cleaner will fark up stainless steel....... if it has a porcelain finish oven cleaner should work, but I'd just squirt some dishsoap in it then fill it with boiling water...... let it soak for about a hour then take a plastic spatula and scrape the heavy spots off, then dump out the water and scrub the rest off.

Sandpaper, hehe. Actually, I dunno, but I'm interested to see. I have a cast iron pot that I don't think I seasoned correctly, and there is some crud stuck to it.

Actually, a really fine emery cloth (sandpaper for metal) and a little cooking oil works great for shining up the inside of stainless steel pots and pans,

I have a few cast iron frying pans as well, the best thing to clean them up is a brass brush...... scrub them good with the brass brush and hot water then dry with paper towels, then coat the insides with lard or bacon grease and bake in a oven around 300 degrees for 15 minutes, pour off the excess grease and bake for two hours more......

clean and seasoned

Someone once told me to drop a dryer sheet in the pot with some water and let it soak overnight. I've tried it a few times with mixed results...

Steel wool and elbow grease.

Worked for your mother, so it should work for you.

Works for me too.

I use powder laundry detergent to take paint off stuff like old door hinges. This may work...

Just fill the sink with warm water and put lots of laundry detergent in and let it soak for a day or two. Or better yet, if it's a cheap pan, toss it.

OR! You can throw the crusty thing out…



However, IMO, Mango is right, oven cleaner works best..

Hope you resolved the problem by now, time my heals all wounds, not stains

Once I was boiling a needle to poke thru myself for entertainment... and I walked away for a second and never came back. The water all boiled out and the pot got totally "burnt" and I had to scrub at it for hours to avoid pissing my mom off when she came home.
One time before that I was boiling kool-aid (I was young... someone said thats how you make flavored rock candy. No.) and forgot about it. The water evaporated and the sugar expanded, overflowed and started on fire. I put the fire out and had to throw the damn thing out. My mom always wondered what happend to that pan.

Anyway, I cleaned that other one with steal wool that has some sort of soap in it and added Comet cleaner. But it took A LOT of work, and also left little scrubby marks all over it.

Maybe I should get mom some pans for mother's day?

First try using a product called Barkeepers Friend. If that doesn't work try bringing vinegar to a boil in the pot and letting it cool down and then using scotchbrite on it,

yeah, id use a mixture of every heavy duty degreeser and cleaning product you have, with vinegar (the clear kind) and use a brilo pad to scrub it, it will scratch but at least it wont be burnt

Try dumping a bottle of ammonia in it - put it in a plastic trash bag and seal the bag shut - leave it alone for a couple of days - the ammonia and the fumes should clean it up fine - we did this to a professional popcorn popper pot that had been used for years and had a really think layer of baked on gunk and it came clean.

Neato, Please call Dominoes in the future and stay out of the kitchen. And pay that fire insurance bill too.
