What to do?
Wet the burnt pan and sprinkle some baking soda. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, spray white vinegar. Let it sit for 30-40 minutes.
Scrub using a metal scrub.
or
Boil 2 tbsp washing detergent and 1 tbsp salt in a big pan for 10 minutes.
Now place the burnt vessel in the sauce pan with mixture for a while and scrub for a minute.
Wash it thoroughly with clean water and dish washing soap.
This works well for stainless steel, aluminium and iron vessels.
