How to Clean a Burnt Pot
Now it’s time to scrub. Grab a non-abrasive sponge (nobody wants scratched stainless steel) and a bit of dish soap. Don’t attack it like you’re boxing a villain. Use slow, circular pressure.
If some stubborn spots remain, make a paste of baking soda and water. Spread it on the spots and let it sit for fifteen minutes. This paste is like a time machine for your cookware—it lifts layers of history without you breaking a sweat.
Rinse it out. Hold the pot under the light. Is it shiny again? Yes. Yes it is.
