My bf decided to make mac & cheese in our new no stick pot, well after he was done he put a little bit of water in it & left in the sink with the lid on. We had a stand off I guess you could say as to who would end up cleaning it - I lost. Anyway it was there for a week & I have cleaned many times & the horrible smelll just won't leave! Help how do I fix this, it isbrand new and to $$$ to replace!

Put in Charcoal brique in the pot and leave it over night to absorb the smell. Be sure to leave the lid on.

Throw out the pot. Replace it with a new one. Do the same thing with the bf.

I would suggest you putting some bleach and water in the pot and letting it sit for a few days. It won't be a pleasant smell but it will be better than the one that you have.

Try baking soda. Make a paste of baking soda and a water and slather it on. Leave it for at least 12 hours. That should neutralize the odor.
Also, try one of the new oxi-cleaners you can get at the grocery or drug store. Those are supposed to neutralize odors too.
Good luck!

Soak the pot in baking soda and water for a couple of hours. Scrub and rinse. Repeat if necessary. If this doesn't do it, you have to throw it out.

It looks it has got stuck in the pipe. Try puring very very hot water, and thereafter shoving a wire to makes the cheese melt and make way..and itself be washed down. You can try vinegar too...but hot water is a better bet.

buy some cleaner called "goof off", it'll take off the oil residues that's making it stink.
then go out and smoke some good weed which has absolutely nothing to do with anything but its what i wish i was doing right now and the thought came out instinctually.

I'd take your BF's favorite shirt and use it to scrub the hell out of that pot!!
