Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

I'm terrible about burning food to the bottom of my pots!

Scrape out as much as you can, fill the pan up with hot water and add 1/4 cup baking soda.  Leave to sit over night.  If that doesn't do the full trick, try boiling the water and baking soda in the pan for around 15 minutes, soak until cool and it will normally clean out fine.

You may be required to provide some elbow grease, too.

Good luck!

Answer 6

soak it in some hot water (or boil some) like the other person said.  Then just scrub away.  If it's still stuck then I would just buy a new one.

Answer 7

If its a teflon coated (non-stick) pan just cover the stuck rice with warm oapy water and leave overnight, then scrape off with a plastic spatula...   You could also try putting vinegar in the water.

Same will work for a metal bottom pan, but you can then scrape burnt residue once its softened with a metal spatula.

Answer 8

Well, that happened to me once and i used Mr Muscle oven cleaner........ scrubbed it with a metal sponge and it worked!!!!

Answer 11

throw it away thats what i do

Answer 12

Scrape off as much as possible, then put a lot of salt on it and let it work in. This will make it much easier to clean off tomorrow.

Answer 13

leave it to soak in warm water and washing up liquid and be prepared to have a scrub at it tomorrow, but most of should have lifted off after soaking.

I always put my pans in water after cooking if there is anything slightly burnt on

Answer 14

Boil some water in the pan, and scrape it after it's been in a rolling boil for at least 10 mins.  Repeat until it's all gone, and finish with a brillo pad if needed.

Answer 15

Leave it to soak overnight and it'll all come off easily in the morning.

Answer 16

you don't have to go to all the trouble that others are quoting, just leave it on the counter till it completely dries out and then all you have to do is peel it off.

cheers

Answer 17

SOAK IT or for an urgent solution oven cleaner and a brillo

Answer 18

Scrub it and if that fails get a new pan their only a few quid

Answer 19

I'm afraid the best solution is TIME. You just have to soak the pan in water, simmer the water, cover with a lid and hope the steam works all the sticky crust off fast. Scraping with a ametal spoon helps, but it could damage the surface of the pan.

Answer 27

If it's really burnt try EASY OFF!  Spray it and leave it on some newspaper in your garage for a few hours.  It will come right off.
