The Baking Soda & Water Method
If you have a scorched pan with burnt food, you can use baking soda and water to get the job done.
Make a paste of 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water. Cover the scorched portion of the pan.
Pour 1 cup baking soda and 1/3 cup water for a full pot bottom,
Rub the paste to the burnt pan.
Cover the bottom of the pan with a thin layer of warm water.
Add enough baking soda to create a paste.
Let the combination sit for a few hours or overnight, then add more baking soda and scrub with a nylon brush or scour sponge.
If you don’t want to wait, add another ¼ – ½ cup water to thin the paste then put the pan on the stove and let it come to a boil.
Remove it from the heat quickly – you don’t want it to burn again!
