How to Naturally Clean a Burned Pot

Clean your burned pots with white vinegar.

Burned pots and pans are a common problem in the kitchen, caused when you cook food for too long without stirring or when you walk away from the stove for a period of time. To keep the pots in usable condition, you must get rid of the burnt-on residue without damaging them. Use a natural, chemical-free and nonflammable cleaning ingredient to quickly clean burned pots.

Things You'll Need

• White vinegar
• Dish soap
• Dish rag

Instructions

1. Pour white vinegar into the pot until all the burned residue is submerged.

2. Place the pot on your stove burner, and bring the vinegar to a boil. Let it boil for about 10 minutes; you will notice the majority of the burned residue releasing from the pot.

3. Turn off the stove burner, and let the pot cool for about 10 minutes. Then, scrub it with a soapy dish rag, and rinse the pot.
