My daughter burned the savaloys the other night (forgot to put the water in!). I've got most of the burnt sav off, but the actual metal is still quite black in places. what do you think would be best to try first! Of do you think I can still use the pot like that!Perhaps I should cook a few spuds in it and see if they come out tasting burnt.

I was making kiwifruit jam today and left it unattended for awhile and, of course, it caught on the bottom.In fact it REALLY burnt quite badly.I managed to rescue most of the jam and it has really turned out quite good but the enamel stock pot that I was making it in is another story.Does anyone have a magic recipe for getting burnt-on jam etc off the bottom of an enamel stockpot.I have already stood and scrubbed at it with the Goldilocks for longer than I care to tell!!

what works really good is dishwasher powder for the dishwasher machine, fill pan with boiling water then add the powderleave definetly overnight to soak and it's like magic

Baking soda too....boil up gently with BS, then leave to sit even for a few days.Some also say if you bury your pot in the garden...that will remove it.
What I do to stop jams, pickles, sauces etc sticking is place 3-4 marbles in the pan while boiling your mixture.Don't know how it works, but it does....magic.

Heat some vinegar then throw in some backing soda, let it fizz and leave to sit or boil onion skins and leave to sit.

boil with bakeing soda and some lemon bits in it, boil for a good 15 to 20 min then empty out and put cold water in and leave overnight and scrub outcan chip it out if still stuck dont worry if it scratches a little bit you can just use a scotch pad to buff it out note: if it is a cheap pan it may buckle but if it is heavy based it will be fine

Bring the pot with it full of water to the boil, this helps remove any burnt on stuff, then use baking soda to get of any other bits.

yes this stops surge boiling (volcanic!) by evenly distributing the heat into multiple smaller boiling spots - also used in distilling.

Thank you all for your replies.Tried baking soda, dishwashing powder and finally sprayed with Mr Muscle oven cleaner, left for 24 hours then had a good scrub with Goldilocks and it all finally came clean.All the various methods I am sure work to some extent, this one was REALLY burnt.although it is now free of burn, I think I may have to buy another stockpot as in my exerience once they have burnt like that, they catch easily with just about everything else.
