Jo Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Not sure if this is the right place for this.......I left my chutney to look after itself while I got a few other jobs done[:$] Any shortcuts for getting the burnt food off the preserving pan? It's an aluminium one, I would like to rescue it if poss as it was my Mum's[:'(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suze01 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Put some biological waashing powder in with hot water and leave to soak overnight. Worked a treat when I burnt sugar in a pan that I was making caramel in and forgot about (just as well the house didn't burn down!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odile Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 at least your OH didn't put it under a cold tap - like my OH with my huge, cost me a fortune, Le Creuset pan. GGGGRRRRRR!I thing Lisleoise's advice should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Boil it up with washing soda and water.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJSLIV Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 washing soda and aluminium might not be a good idea. Stick with the Bio washing powder previously suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 Thanks for all the advice, soaked it in bio washing powder overnight, most of it came off and have just chipped the last stubborn spots off with a knife! It's never looked so clean! Will be more careful next time[:$] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patf Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Which reminds me of a humerous essay I read once, can't remember the writer, about cleaning a porridge pan which had set on. He used the "scritcher" to get in the corners, but was left with the problem of cleaning the scritcher. I think burnt-on porridge is one of the worst things to clean. I never make it now.
