Technically, you're supposed to always add chemicals to water, so it makes sense to pour the water in first before the baking soda (method #1). It will disperse quicker and more evenly.
Again, for the people in the back and the partners that like to "let it soak"… WASH IT WHILE IT'S WARM!
she's hilarious
What about stains,not crud,on the stainless steel pan??????????♀️
No need for any of this, just fill the pan with hit water and boil for 2 mins…that should do it
I didn't see you get that third pan actually clean.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Too much talking and acting.
Before you sit down to eat just add some hot water to your already warm pot!????
it baffles me how reliant americans are of brands instead of products
I love you guys, this is gonna save me from an ass whoopin tonight
maybe this is obvious but I don't think they ever said what the liquid poured over the baking soda was – water or vinegar?
I had some really difficult burnt-on chocolate/ milk at the bottom of my biggest stainless steel stock pot, from a run of mexican-style hot chocolate I made for New Years.
I couldn't get it off with vinegar or barkeeper's friend or soaking it in hot water. I saw another video that recommended Easy-Off, but in my experience, that's rather fragrant, and it seemed to take a lot longer than your methods.
I ended up using a method that was sort of a hybrid between the 2nd and 3rd methods that you guys detailed – I couldn't do a full-on version of the 3rd method because I didn't have a larger pot to put mine in. One difference is that I used A&H 'Super Washing Soda' instead of baking soda, because I had a new box handy, and my baking soda is kind of old. Super Washing Soda is Sodium Carbonate instead of Sodium BiCarbonate – very similar. I use it for cleaning other things.
Anyway, 4-ish cups of water in the bottom of the stock pan, about 1 cup of soda, and heating it on the stove to a simmer, then turning the heat WAY down to just maintain heat and not boil too rapidly.
MAN. That burnt-on crust just flaked right off after about a 30-minute simmer. I put a lid on once it started to bubble, about 10 minutes in. A few light strokes with a normal dish brush and I could already feel and see the difference. It might be cleaner than it was before I burned the chocolate onto it. I'm very impressed. This is definitely better than everything else I was trying.
Thanks.
