if a pot gets burned how can i take the black stuff off?

Question

i burned a pot making boiled eggs i forgot all about it how can i take the black stuff off in the pot

Answer 1

What I've been doing forever, is spray the oven cleaning product, the one that foams but doesn't need you to turn the oven on.
Let it stand for a while. It works like a charm, on any surfaces (think about it, it cleans your oven !). You just have to put the pot in the dish water once before using it.

Good luck,

Answer 2

there are many good products for removing the burnt black on pots, some need a bit more elbow grease than others

vinegar is very good with hot water and some serious scrubbing

oven cleaner, the stuff u squirt in your ovens to remove the bake on grime, put it on ur pot and leave it for a while then wash off. just mind the fumes

Answer 3

I don't even know how it's possible that you blackened a pot boiling eggs, but you might want to try the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser after soaking the pot overnight.

Answer 4

Put the pot on to boil with water and bicarbonate of soda. That will help lift the black stuff off. You will still need to scour it with a scourer or steel wool though.

Try this before you try anything nasty like bleach.

Answer 5

POTS AND PANS

Cast Iron pans:
To clean, wipe them out with a damp cloth rather than completely wash them, dry completely to prevent rust.

Copper pans
To get them to shine again dip the bottom of the pot in leftover pickle juice. Let it sit for about 10-15 mintes. Rinse well.

Burnt pots & pans:
Make a paste of water & baking soda, rub into burnt area, then let it sit for an hour or so, it will come clean quite easily.

Aluminum pots :
To restore shine, boil with some apple peels for a few minutes. Rinse well.

Enamel ware :
To remove any discoloration make a paste of equal amounts of salt and vinegar, clean area & let sit for 15 minutes. Rinse well.

Answer 6

If it's not a non-stick pan (black coating already on the inside), you should be able to get off the black using an SOS pad or one of the products like that...Brillo, etc....and some elbow grease! It might take a LOT of scrubbing. Good luck!

Answer 7

Baking Soda

Answer 8

Dishwashing powder in water, soaked for an hour then boiled for a few minutes worked amazingly - It works just like magic.

Answer 9

Soak it in some hot water and bleach for several hours. This will usually help remove the burned stuff.

Good luck!
