Ruined pan?

:lol::lol: yeah but just think when they start moaning we'll be the ones laughing at them.... ok maybe :puke: too!
 
The problem with abrasives is that they will roughen the surface of the pan which will make it more sticky. I'd soak it in water with a good washing up liquid for however long it takes, changing the water once in a while.
 
Another vote for washing powder, it is what I use when the Mrs Keith burns crap to the bottom on my pans

Wet the bottom of the pan, drain any excess water away, sprinkle a liberal dose of washing powder [I use Bold} all over the bottom of the pan, leave on for a few mins, next take a boiling kettle of water and poor it over the washing powder, leave it for an hour or more.

Then you just need to agitate it and give it a good scrub.

You pan will come up looking all shiny and new

Rub the pan with raw rhubarb, the stew the rhubarb in there for as long as possible. Works a treat (we went through a phase of making chicken stock but forgetting that we'd left it simmering and coming back to a bone dry charred pan!)
 
If it's stainless steel inside, try a proprietary stainless steel cleaner but leave it to soak in.

I find it cleans most things - dread to think what's in it.

I suppose you've got to let off steam somehow but thought you might have been able to keep a lid on your revelation for a bit longer....

P>S solution to cleaning the pan - find a local engineering workshop and get them to machine off a few thou. You might need to remove the handle but they can probable weld it back on :thumbs:

If it was my pan, I'd get the ball and chain to do it. I'm sure she'd be flushed with success once done and the pan could take No. 1 position on the favourites list again.
 
Jeeze let a woman near pans and they burn them.
Thats why I never let women in my kitchen sorted :thumbs:
:p
 
Men are just as bad :p

I bought some glass saucepans a while back, loved.
My ex boiled some eggs, came in the front room and I was watching one of those crap programmes that apparently only
us women could watch ;) A while later there was a loud noise from the kitchen...................................... yep saucepan had
boiled dry and exploded :eek:

Bicarb of soda and boiling water. Don't be tight with the Bicarb. Then a good scrub after soaking overnight.
