I have burnt saucepan and can't get the black off it! Suggestions?

bar keeper's friend or brasso if really bad.

I made a paste from baking soda and hydrogen peroxide and let it sit for a few minutes. My pots and pans are stainless steel and have been used on gas and electric coil and when I got my new flat top I went searching for ways to make them like new again; found a post for peroxide cleaning hacks on hometalk and it worked great. I mostly used a scrubbing sponge but one pot has a ding from flying off a vehicle at 75mph (not a bad one thankfully, funny story though!) and to get that I used a brush.

Try a fabric softener sheet in some water, let soak, bounce is good 😊 always works for me

Hot water, a little Dawn, A fabric softener sheet. Let set for an hour or so and check.

Add enough water to cover the burn by about 2-3 inches so it won't boil dry, less if you are watching it closely. Add 2 TBSP Dawn and 2 tsp baking soda. Bring everything to a hard boil then reduce to a simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes. Check the burn debris occasionally to see if it starting to come loose. If not, make sure you have enough water and add more Dawn a little bit at time testing the burn debris before adding anything else. This shouldn't take long at all. I have on had to add extra Dawn once and that was a massive Italian dish that lost it's mind while baking.

This happened to me a few weeks ago - I forgot about some apples I was cooking down for applesauce. Found a suggestion to put a teaspoon of cream of tartar in the pan, fill it with water, put the pan on the stove and let it simmer for a while. The burned apple floated right off! A pan that I thought I was going to have to toss is perfect again, and I had to do very little scrubbing to get it that way.

I agree with harleyangel2405. Warm the surface first then make a paste of the 2 and let it sit. I used a coppeer scrubbing pad on a filthy oven abd a scrubbing sponge on a glass top stove and got it all off.

I have never tried it but saw a blog where you lay a new dryer sheet in the bottom of the pan and soak overnight.

I had the same problem. First I put hot water in it and heated it on the stove. This helps to soften is a little. then the paste of baking soda/ hydrogen peroxide and it should come off with one of those copper scrubbers.
