I use stainless steel pots too, and I frequently burn them. I've always had luck with a degreaser. The one that I use comes in a 2 gallon jug and is called "Purple Power" that I got for $7 at Wal-Mart. I use a 50/50 mixture, and making sure the mixture totally immerses the burnt-residue. After 24 hours, the burnt-in residue comes off by just rinsing it under the faucet. A jug should last at least 2 years upon occasional use.

Princess, You are fast moving up on me. My title is "the Queen of Burnt Water." I earned it years ago, and,umm, I keep earning it...you'll have to burn hard and fast to catch up with me!

If you burned carbohydrates (potatoes, rice, etc.) or eggs, soak the pan in COLD water. If you burned greasy food, then soak in hot water. If it was combined (like the corned beef hash with eggs I burned this morning -yes, really) then you do cold water FIRST, then hot.

If you care about your pans, DO NOT use metal utensils in them when cooking, or scratchy things to clean them. Use wooden spoons to cook.

I like the fabric softener idea above, I'm going to try it. I hope it's not poisonous or something awful.

You can also use the NYLON, not plastic, tools in your pots as well. The plastic tools melt, so if you're not sure whether they are plastic or nylon, you'll know pretty soon.

Some things I do to reduce my reputation as the Queen of Burnt Water is keep three (necessary for me) timers to remind me to check the food. I put chairs in the cooking area (I can't stand longer than a few minutes because of a bad back) to sit on, near the stove. That way I don't wander into the living room and get engrossed in a TV show. I also buy good quality pans, which clean better. Good luck.

Believe it or not fabric softner left in over night...I read this in a magazine and said no way....IT WORKS!! I do it all the time now on my stove top when stuff gets cooked into the trays on the stove top. You just poor liquid fabric softner over it and let it sit overnight sometimes two nights depending on how bad it was....really it works....

pour vinegar in it and bring the vinegar to a boil and let the pot set over nite, of course your house will smell like vinegar, but it should clean the pot!

Fill it with ammonia, put it in a plastic bag for two days. That's a very old remedy from Heloise, anybody remember her? Hints from Heloise...
