Tip it upside down outdoors in fierce summer heat and the burnt bits will bake on and then peel off :)

do you have any rhubarb??? cook some in the pot. also depending on what sort of pot it may not be any good for jam again as it will always catch on the bottom.

Dish washing liquid and some water. Simmer for about 10-15 mins, then scrape off.

Dishwash powder, simmer for 15 minutes, scrape off.Repeat if necessary.I find this better than abrasives, baking soda, burying etc.

Didn't anyone tell you not to mix chemicals without a degree in chemistry?

You soak it in soapy water overnight. No need for harsh cleaners or anything.

Why did you use red wine catiez ? Just curious as I have never heard of its pot - cleaning properties.

When making jam or sauce or anything that might stick and burn, add 3-4 marbles to the pan.I can hear you now...how the hell does that help?
I can't answer how it works, it just does.Try it, you will be pleasantly surprised.

As long as no one is tempted to drink washing soda and red wine :)

I agree with the baking soda & water idea. After many accidents over the years it seems to work the best! Also put the lid on the pot & leave for 10-15 minsbooiling away.

I just asumed if there is any acid content in red wine it might help it was a rubbish red we picked up cheap at a winery in pakawhai rd .

It will be the acid in the red wine. Vinegar works too and is probably cheaper.

Dont worry about the soda, vinegar etc etc. This works everytime. Fill the saucepan with garden soil. then bury the saucepan in the garden. Leave for about a week & hey presto you have a clean saucepan. At New Year wifey burnt the broad beans to the bottom of the saucepan & now have a sparkling pot .

I burned a recipe of fejoa jam last season... I recovered the jam by turning it into chutney - added onions, vinegar, and some smoked paprika - got enhance the smoky flavour...
People loved the chutney
