I was making some pasta and left the stove unattended for a moment. No, not on purpose. I have a 3 year old who is potty training. Low and behold, I was distracted for a bit and now the pasta burned into the bottom of the pot. I scrubbed it, rubbed it, begged it to come off. Nada. So I try the old salt and ice cube deal, where you swirl it in the pot. Nothing still. Any ideas? I love my cookware, and I ran out of ideas. The stupid spray you buy that is supposed to help, didnt. Thanks everyone!

DRYER SHEETS. fill the pot with hot water and a little dish soap. add a couple dryer sheets (even used ones work) and let it soak overnite. then try and scrub it out. it should wipe out pretty easily. if not, do it again. mine useally come clean after one soaking and using a little cleanser.

Your last best hope is to fill the pot with water and a little salt and try to boil away the burnt on residue. Use a hard plastic utensil to manipulate the residue until it breaks loose. From that point on you might want to think about getting the "perfect pasta" pot! Not stainless, not pretty, but it works and it is teflon coated. Good luck!

Put several inches of water in the bottom of the pan and put it on the stove. Put a tad of detergent in the water. Let it come to a slight boil. Take your turner and begin to scape the stuff out. do this several times and eventually it will come out. If it takes more than once add some about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the water. It will come clean. You just need a little muscle. Get that oil down under the burned stuff. Reheat if you need to do so.

#0000 steel wool available at the hardware store-which is made for polishing and comet cleanser. Pour about 3 tablespoons of comet in the pot and add about 3 tablespoons of water to make a paste. Now use the steel wool and the paste together to scrub it back to a mirror shine.

There's a product called "Bar Keeper's Friend". It works GREAT on Stainless Steel pots and pans. I use it all the time. Red wine sometimes works well, too, while the pan is still hot.

decide for the immaculate-steel it truly is all i take advantage of in my own and professional existence. They artwork great and that they do no longer seem to be that complicated to scrub whether you burn stuff on them. Soaking and a sprint steel wool takes it off. the situation to bear in mind is enable the pan warmth up and any oil contained in the pan warmth up then put in the climate. to sometimes I see people turn the fireplace on place the pan on the burner, pour in some oil then throw stuff in all interior 30 seconds and splendor why it sticks. besides for a registry decide for the solid stuff on the immaculate-steel.

ok, the salt thing does work, but instead of ice use a brillo pad with the salt. It take alot of elbow grease but it will work, someore melted a black plastic spoon in one of mine and it took me a few hard hours to get it out but I did and I'm still using it. good luck
