I burnt popcorn on bottom of stainless steel pot. How to clean it?

It was burnt real bad so I have no little black chippy things to scrape off it's like burnt right into the steel.
I tried the baking soda and vinegar soak and it did not seem to work. How do I clean a burnt pot?

To start, add a few drops of dish soap to the dirty pan. Next, you'll need to add 1 tablespoon of baking soda and fill the pan ¼ of the way with water. Put the pan on high and let it simmer for a while. Once the pot has simmered for a few minutes, pour the hot liquid down the drain.

It's a good idea to use steel sponge to help get the burn off
Cerama Bryte works great on stainless steel pots and pans.
Barkeepers friend, comes in powder.
Get some cream of Tarter powder. Put a healthy tablespoon and add about 3 cups of water and boil for 10 minutes. Let sit for 30 minutes and then clean with a Brillo or scrubbie.
Baking soda and vinegar end up generally being water when used together so they’re not much of a cleaner. I’d try Bar Keeper’s Friend powder and a scrubby or TSP substitute powder and a scrubby.
Hi Buddy! Put about 2 cups of white vinegar and 1 cup of baking soda in the pan, with a little water, and bring it to a boil on the stove. Let it sit overnight. Hope this helps!
