Here are several methods for cleaning burnt pots and pans.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Method 1. Sprinkle baking soda on the charred or burned area of the pan. Add liberal amounts of vinegar. You will have a messy baking soda and vinegar mix. Let it stand for 20 minutes. Rinse the pan.

  2. Step 2

    Method 2. Put the pot in a heavy plastic kitchen bag (make sure that there are no holes). Put ammonia on the burned area on the pot and tie the bag so that no air gets in or out. Let the bag sit outside for a day. After a day, scrub out the mess and rinse with water.

  3. Step 3

    Method 3. Submerse the pan in water and add lots of ice. Add liberal amounts of salt and swirl it around until the burnt mess is removed.

  4. Step 4

    Method 4. Submerse the pot in hot water and put baking soda on the burned spots. Let the pan with baking soda sit for a day. After a day, rinse.

  5. Step 5

    Method 5. Submerse the pan with 50 percent vinegar and 50 percent water for a day. Use more vinegar for chars that you feel are really difficult to remove. After a day, rinse the pot with water.
