Got a scorched pot? Boil baking soda, dish soap, and water for 10 minutes to lift burnt residue safely—no harsh chemicals. Fast and safe for any cookware.

Scorched pot bottoms don’t call for abrasive scrubbing. A simple combo of baking soda, a few drops of dish soap, and water is enough to tackle the mess.

Baking soda and water do the heavy lifting

Pour a tablespoon of baking soda into the pot, add several drops of regular dishwashing liquid, and add water.

Bring it to a boil and wait

Set the pot on the stove and bring the mixture to a boil. Ten minutes of boiling with soda and soap loosens the burnt-on residue. After this step, the buildup lifts off the bottom easily without harming the metal.

Simple and safe

The method works with any pot, is safe for people, and requires no harsh chemicals. When you’re done, simply rinse the cookware and dry it thoroughly. The pot is ready for use again — a straightforward routine worth keeping on hand.
