Tip:  When it’s time to replace the box of baking soda in your refrigerator, dump it down your drain to freshen your drain instead of throwing it in the trash.

How to Clean burned on food off a pot:

  1. cover the bottom of the pan with a layer of baking soda, and then add warm water to create a very wet paste and let it sit for a few hours or even over night, if it’s bad (like I did when my daughter burnt the stir fry)
  2. wipe out the pot with a damp sponge. Many times the burned on food will wipe right out.
  3. If food it still burnt on, add more baking soda and water and boil the mixture in the pot for a few minutes
  4. let cool, then wipe clean

Tip:  Use this method to clean a crock pot as well;  Soak in warm water and baking soda before scrubbing.
