Okay, so yesterday was a holiday. We all cooked a lot. And if you are anything like me, you made a homemade sauce. Sauce is wonderful and delicious, but oftentimes, very messy. So here is my remedy for that lovely baked-on sauce. Or rather, my Grandmother's remedy.
Take your pot or pan that has all the funky, baked-on, blackened gook, and empty it of all water and anything else you have already tried to soak it in. Pour a generous (very, very generous) amount of baking soda on the gook. Then add just enough water to make it really wet. Put on the stove on medium, and allow it to boil.
When it begins to boil, use a spatula (preferably one that doesn't scratch up your cookware), and scrape gently at the gook, getting the baking soda underneath it, and lifting it off of your pan. You may need to add a little more water. You may also need to do this whole thing more than once, but it works like a charm!
Enjoy your nice, clean pots and pans!! <3
this is a great way to clean pots.....i also add dawn - the combination of dawn and baking soda loosens the gook and cuts the work in half. but sometimes it still takes two applications.
