Instead of water, I mix the bicarbonate with brown vinegar, bring to the boil, lower heat and allow to simmer for about 15 mins – BRAND NEW POTS! and i’m an expert at burning pots coz with an infant and a toddler, i’ve got plenty on my plate!

You know, I’ve seen that tip about using baking soda for scorched pans quite a few times, but for some reason I’ve never tried it. After seeing how fantastic your results are, I know I’m going to use it on my next burnt pan I have a gas stove and a tendency not to pay as much attention as I should to simmering pots, so I end up with scorched pots more often than I’d care to admit!

Thanks! Very useful tip. Will definitely try the baking soda next time I scorch a pan.

@ Susie: I’ve tried that. Doesn’t work as well — especially if the scorch is enameled to the pan.

You can also just put some vinegar in the bottom and let it sit overnight.
