  • Soak the pot. Or place some water in the pot, place on stove, let it come to a boil for about 5 minutes or so. Turn off, let cool, then wash as usual.

    Hi Kathy,


    Make a soak of baking soda and water, let it set overnight and if necessary the next day, make a thick paste of baking soda and water and scrub, let that set a few hours to overnight and then scrub.

    Depending on the finish in the pot, I would generally scrape out as much as possible, then soak it with a soapy mixture. I use a small plastic scraper I found at Wal-Mart so I don't damage the pan.

    1 Tbsp dishwasher powder and water, bring to a boil. This will loosen any burnt on items in my experience.
