How do you fix a burnt Princess House saucepan?

Question

I have a Princess House saucepan and it has had some food burnt in the bottom. I have tried vinegar and it has not worked. Any one with any more ideas would be appreciated.

Answer 1

You can take some fabric softner and HOT water. Let it soak over night. You might have to scrub a little bit but this works!

Answer 2

I am not familiar with Princess house sauce pans. I do know in moving out of base housing we had to have every thing looking like new. We would use ammonia and put the drip pans from the stove and bottom of the oven and such in a plastic bag pour in ammonia and seal it up over night.  Always seemed to  work. (not for aluminum though) Maybe a Dremmel with a brush wheel, maybe boil vinegar and baking soda in it for a while. If it is already ruined what have you got to loose?   I have also gone nuts trying to clean things that needed to be just tossed.  I hope that is not the case here. None the less best wishes and safe cooking.

OK this is coming from a person who sells it.

Depends on how much it is burnt.

1) take the pan put 2-3 inch's of water in it and a tablespoon of dish soap and place on the stove with low heat. Do not let it boil over. Watch it and after 30 min pour out the contents and try with a wooden spoon to remove the stuff. Repeat 2 times then #2

2) dry the area with the burned stuff and take baking soda and very little water and make a slurry mix, with a wash cloth take this slightly abrasive mixture and scrub the area. Depending on how much blacking there is it may take a while and a re-freshening of the baking soda mix on the cloth.

3) after the above 2 methods, on whatever is left, use a Magic-Eraser. Never use the eraser on the outside polished part as it WILL scratch the surface.

OK

Never use harsh chemicals on your cookware.

The price of Stainless steel is on the rise in North America, so try to save the piece instead of tossing it.
