Is it possible to get crystallized chocolate out of a metal saucepan?

Question

I was making this frosting and it asked for 1 tablespoon of light corn syrup and we didnt have any, so being the idiot I am, i put like 15 drops of Kona Kahlua in it and now it's crystallized.

I've tried scrubbing with hot water but that didn't work. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

Thank you SOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!

Answer 1

i have done this before, i ask my husband to try to break it off  he still cant so i take the pan to the garbage and buy another.

Answer 2

I've done this!   Try this - - squeeze some dish detergent directly on the affected area, add about 1 inch of water then bring just to a boil, lower heat immediately and just let simmer for about 20 minutes.   Add a little water occasionally to maintain about 1" just to keep from  drying out.   It's a pain to have to keep an eye on it, but the process really works if you want to save that pan.   BTW,  this works on anything over-cooked in your pots/pans.

Answer 3

When I have a mess like this. I put alot of water in the pan and slowly heat it again. It should start to dissolve then get  it off the stove and under hot water and soap.
