Cleaning Burnt Stainless Steel Cookware

Most Effective Method For Cleaning Burnt Stainless Steel Cookware

STEP 1:

First you have to make a huge mistake like I did and burn your stainless steel pot. Caution: I don’t recommend doing this for fun!
So this is what you end up with.

STEP 2:

Grab a box of baking soda and a container of salt. That’s it folks!

STEP 3:
Run some water in the pot just enough to cover the burned area about a 1/4 inch.
STEP 4:
Dump generous amount of salt into pan making it cloudy and then dump about the same amount of baking soda. Water should be pretty cloudy.

STEP 5:
Stir the solution with wooden spoon and bring to a boil.

STEP 6:
As it is boiling and fizzing keep stirring with wooden spoon while scrapping the bottom.
STEP 7:
Strain mixture in a strainer so you don’t get a lot of burned material in your drain.

You will then end up with a pan that looks like this depending on how badly burned it is and how much scrapping you performed.

STEP 8:
Take green scour pad and hot water and scrub remaining burned material out. This comes out easily once you have used salt and baking soda.
Finally:
Clean vessel.

Total cleaning time: 5 min tops.
