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.

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!!!

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!!
