How do I clean a burnt pot? There is burnt-on apple cider inside of my calphalon pot.
Baking soda on the burned areas, hot water next.

If it’s a stainless steel pan, use an SOS type of steel wool on it.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. It was not a Teflon pan and I was able to clean it. I used equal parts vinegar and water and boiled it.
