Last night my beloved decided to surprise me by making Russian Fudge. needless to say the house filled with smoke.(burnt sugar and condensed milk). We put water in to soak overnight but the burnt sugar appears to be Welded to the bottom of the pot.Anyone have any sneaky tricks to help get this off, it is part of my set so do not want to throw out if I do not have to.Thank you so much for any help.

Is it stainless , I often use oven cleaner to clean all manner of things including the ceramic hot plates.

Here are a couple of hints from a book I have.Nz woman's weekly book of household hints. 1. Add lukewarm water(not hot)and a few spoonfuls of Baking soda and leave overnight. 2. Put enough vinegar into bottom of pan to cover base and bring gently to the boil. Cover and leave for half an hour. Clean normally. Good luck!

Do you have dishwasher powder! sometimes leaving boiling water with a teaspoon of dish powder to soak overnight will help loosen burnt on stuff.

get as much as you can off then boil rhubarb leaves in the pot and a little more scrubbing and pot will be good as new

The best way I have found to clean pots like this is to cover the bottom with about and inch of very hot water and add about 3 tspn laundry powder (fab,cols power etc) or the powder you put in the dishwasher (finish etc).Stir and leave the pot overnight.You should be able to get the stuck on stuff off the bottom the next day.it may take a couple of attempts but this usually works for me.

Use a teaspoon or dessertspoon to scrape the pot once it has been soaked for a while.
