I accidentally burnt the condensed milk on the pot (got unexpected visitors). Have had it soaking in dishwash liquid and then boiled baking soda in it. Its still not moving - any ideas.

I have burnt many things in my stainless steel pot, I put dirt into them & leave them for a good month - hi presto, easy to clean, if you read this - do hope it works for you.

do worms and soil bugs eat the debris!

sprinkle with dishwashing powder ( if you have any) and hot water and leave for an hour or so, then scrub.

last time this happened to me, i made a paste of baking soda and water and put it back on the stove to bubble a bit. gradually the burnt came off

Dish detergent and water. Put on to simmer

Dishwasher powder (Finish) - easy as - just put 3 tbsp in with 1 cup boiling water - wait 1/2 hour and then wash - comes right off

Boiling rubbarb in the pot with baking soda helps also

I bring water to the boil with washing soda in it, leave to cool with the lid on and the following day the burnt area lifts off.

I put about 1/4 cup of salt in the burnt pot with approx 1-2 cups water and bring to boil then turn off and leave to soak overnight.

Patience. You haven't left it long enough. Leave it at least 12 hrs.

rrrg, Oct 28, 3:05pm
Done dishwashing powder and also Bsoda. Need pot so cant do soil although very interesting. Might boil up again and leave

My Nana used to bury burnt pots too.
Or doesn't boiling up rhubarb take burn off!

rrrg, Oct 30, 1:28am
Still no good have boiled dishwash powder again and left. Will give to Wed otherwise need to buy another pot - an unwanted expense!

hey fill it up with dishwashing liquid and hot water, leave it to soak overnight.scrub off next morning, repeat process 2 to 3 times and it will be as good as new again. worked really well for my very burnt pot!

Love the sound of burying the evidence, I might try that next time! lol

I've found laundry detergent works really well too, just chuck some in with hot water and leave it to soak.

onto the laundry detergent

has the condensed milk sort of set like toffee as well! perhaps you need to stir it while boiling some water etc in it.

rrrg, Oct 30, 7:41pm
The condensed milk is black and hard and yes I have been stirring while boiling

margyr, Oct 30, 9:01pm
you need to make a hole in the condensed milk so everything can start to get underneath it to lift it.
