Most Effective Method For Cleaning Burnt Stainless Steel Cookware
Today, I burned one of my older Kitchen-Aid stainless steel pots. I went off to eat and left my soup still cooking. I came back to find burnt soup stuck to the bottom of my pot, I wasn’t very happy. I went through my pantry trying to think of the best cleaning agent. I was searching for something that most people would have in the house. What I came up with is truly the best and most effective way to quickly clean burnt stainless steel. My method for cleanup is detailed below.
The Solution:
STEP 1:
First you have to make a huge mistake like I did and burn your stainless steel pot. Caution: I don’t recommend doing this for fun!
So this is what you end up with.
STEP 2:
Grab a box of baking soda and a container of salt. That’s it folks!
STEP 3:
Run some water in the pot just enough to cover the burned area about a 1/4 inch.
STEP 4:
Dump generous amount of salt into pan making it cloudy and then dump about the same amount of baking soda. Water should be pretty cloudy.
STEP 5:
Stir the solution with wooden spoon and bring to a boil.
STEP 6:
As it is boiling and fizzing keep stirring with wooden spoon while scrapping the bottom.
STEP 7:
Strain mixture in a strainer so you don’t get a lot of burned material in your drain.
You will then end up with a pan that looks like this depending on how badly burned it is and how much scrapping you performed.
STEP 8:
Take green scour pad and hot water and scrub remaining burned material out. This comes out easily once you have used salt and baking soda.
Finally:
The finished product.
Total cleaning time: 5 min tops.

I wish i’d known this when I ruined my dads saucepan!
I remember when I burnt noodles in my stainless steel pan back in my college days. I spent around 30 minutes scrapping and rinsing the pot. All that work and still the pot had a burnt coating in it. I finally gave up and threw the pan out. Guess I should have done a Google search and it would have saved me time and a pot.
My daughter burnt my ss Pans by tring to cook noodles. I tried to clean it and gave up. I tried to throw it away put my all knowing husband told me to keep it. I am going to try this method and see what results I get and report back.
This really works! Thanks so much! I was about to throw my pan out.
This really works!! I burned a very tiny amount of olive oil (didn’t realize the pan was so hot when I added it, my fault) and this 1/2 tsp. blackened, and I mean blackened, almost the entire 10 inch skillet. I tried Dawn Power Dissolver, OxiClean, vinegar, plain baking soda and water, Bar Keeper’s Friend and probably a couple others before finding this trick. Something about the salt and soda together (and the boiling water, of course) does the trick. It took 3 boil and scrub attempts but after each one a little more burned stuff came off so I kept working at it. By the last time there were just some black specks, which a Scotch Brite pad and some Bar Keeper’s Friend (and brute strength) finally scrubbed off. I will be more careful in the future but glad to have this trick up my sleeve just in case.
THANK YOU!!
Thanks SO much!! I burned yams that I was cooking for the must-have Thanksgiving sweet potato casserole. The syrup was like a second skin on my stainless steel Revere Ware pan. My favorite one, I might add. This worked like a charm and it’s as good as new! Yay!!!
Thanks for the great advice. So easy and simple and it took the black mess off the kitchen aid pot I borrowed from a friend. Whew, now I don’t have to replace this very expensive pot.
Wow this worked great for me..Thanks for this post.
