“You put barely enough water in there to cover the bottom of the pan or pot,” she instructed.
“Cover it with baking soda. I save old baking soda for this purpose,” she said.
“Let is simmer for about four to five minutes until most of the water is gone and it’s like a wet paste.”
Now it was time for some elbow grease, but not much.
“While it’s hot carefully use a spatula – if necessary – or a sponge.”
She had a stubborn one to deal with, so repeated the process.
“This one was so tough I had to do it twice. But typically it just comes right off,” she said.
“So if you have a pot that needs to be fixed right up if it’s burnt, this always works.”
Her video was timely for some viewers, who were looking for a miracle for their pots.
“Thank you. My pans have been sitting for two days. I didn’t know what to do, but your video helped,” said one person.
