Things You'll Need:
- Baking Soda
- Dirty Dishes
-
Step 1
Fill sink with water and regular measure of dish soap. Do not add baking soda at this point as it can prevent the dish soap from producing suds as normal.
-
Step 2
Sprinkle a solid coat of baking soda over the trouble areas of the pans. You should not be able to see the color of the troubled area through the baking soda.
-
Step 3
Gently set pans in soapy water. You want the baking soda to get wet, but not fully disperse in the water. Leave to soak for several minutes or more. Seriously burned or scorched pans may require extended soaking time.
-
Step 4
Wash dirty pans as normal. If you are unable to clean the mess entirely in one soak, apply more baking soda and allow for a second soaking.

on 6/8/2008 Thanks for this information on using baking soda to clean up dishes, pots and pans. I use baking soda and water, throw it in the "trouble pan" bring it to a boil and it cleans right up.
