   you should use the ajex or compact pwoder just put some littel water in the pot and put the compact pwoder in it and leave it for 15 min then scrub and you will see looks like a brand new pot or if you don’t have a compact or ajex use the hot water and lemon fill your pot with hot water and leave it for 30 min then scrub it it will come off

   Buy yourself a BIG stainless steel scrubby. Let the water soak the spot overnight and you’ll still have to use a lot of elbow grease but it will come off.

   Bring this to a boil:

   1)dish washing detergent (sink kind)
   2)water
   3)sprinkle of vinegar
   4)generous amount of 7up
   5)a dash of baking soda
   and guess what u can acctually see the black nightmare disintegrating and floating to the top of the solution(the ingredients listed above are to be boiled in said pan ofcourse)
   (ps: if ur trying this at the end of the day do it before cleaning ur stove it tends to buble up and overflow every couple of minutes)

   When I get food stuck to the bottom of the bottom (especially pasta) I put water and baking soda in the pan and put it back on the burner and bring to a boil and let it sit for a bit, then wash like normal. All the crusty stuff comes right off and is like new again:)

   put a dryer sheet in it let it soak for a couple of hours and it will wipe up with out any effort. this even works on the black caked on mess on a broiler pan.

   Fill it with hot tap water and about a teaspoon of cream of tartar. Let is soak for a few hours, and it should come right out.

    Fill the pot over the burnt area at least an inch over the stuck on food and boil for 30 minutes. This will soften the burnt food up and it will wash off. Pour the boiling water off and wash as soon as the pot cools down.

    Boil some water in it with a bunch of salt. The salt water and heat will help break it up. Let it boil for a few minutes then remove from heat. Let sit until the water is cool.
