Its as easy as boiling lemons in water
make a mixture of lemon and baking soda. apply and leave over night.
put water in the pot with a few drops of dish soap like DAWN. Bring to a boil and simmer for an hour or so. The burnt food will come right off.
Add a clothes dryer sheet, to the pot...fill the pot with hot water...leave overnight and the next morning...the burned mess will wash right out...or at least be softened enough, that you will easily be able to remove the burned mess!
Boil tomatoes in it, it must be the acid, I dunno, but it works!
Fill pan with very hot water and add a table spoon of automatic dish soap let it set over night and rinse out next morning.
I use the lemon juice... works the easiest!
In professional kitchens, really burned pots are often cleaned with bleach. Cover the burn with bleach and let it soak -- may take overnight or longer, but it works on even the nastiest burned pan.
Fill pot with water add about tablespoon of Cream of Tartar and watch it work !
If the pot is not aluminum or Teflon, just spray with Eazy-Off oven cleaner, let sit 20-30 mins, rinse and repeat if needed. Some light rubbing with a scrubby pad can help.
I have cleaned burned on grease off for years by using boiling water, and about a quarter cup of tide wash powder. I sprinkled the soap directly on the burned on gunk and keep it boiling for about 20-30 min. More for worse stains. Some sugar burned on stuff doesn't come off as easily. I would be careful of using bleach in your pans. Bleach will eat pits into stainless steel if left to long!
If it is stainless steel, take the handles off and put it in a bin bag with ammonia. Leave the bag in the sun for a day and wash off. Be careful when you pour the ammonia in the bag, turn your head away so you dont inhale the stuff. Same thing when you open the bag. I would not dare to do this when it is not stainless steel.
