Sooo, I did it. I “Ruined” my pot making Caramel, I accidentally really BURNT the Sugar, Cream, and Butter onto the bottom of the pot. It was totally black and hard, stuck on bad. Soaking did nothing at first UNTIL I used the Tide Pod. Guess what. Not Ruined at all. Doesn’t work on everything but caramel, sugar stuff.. yes.
Just FYI…this does not work well for things that have constantly been Re-burned over and over such as the burner drip pan etc, even though it may loosen some.
Fabric softener has been used to lift burned on food from pots and pan surfaces.
I did not have Fabric softener so I used one of my Tide pods that has the combo of Detergent and Softener.
Loosen what comes off easily, don’t worry about the rest . You can always do it twice.
Toss one Tide Pod into your pot or pan. Add hot water to cover the bottom of the pot by 1”.
let set for 8ish hours or over night is better.
use a metal spatula to get one edge of the burn stuff lifted, do not scrape, just get some up.
I heated my pot up in the morning just enough to get it boiling to loosen it up even more.
look!
