Here’s a quick tip that will help you out whenever you’re unlucky enough to burn food in your pan.
First quickly scrape out any burnt bits that come off easily.
Then fill the pan with enough tepid water to cover all the burnt food.
Put in a couple of teaspoons of baking soda, give it a quick stir and leave it overnight. The next day, all the burnt bits can easily be cleaned out with a brush.

You can also leave it to the nature itself to do this. The gallery shows tadpoles feasting on dirty plates to be replaced by roaches feeding on tadpoles and the leftovers
@Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk: That looks great
But are they eating burnt food, though? Or is it mainly regular food scraps?
I would’ve thought they’d shy away from anything really burnt – but then again tadpoles probably don’t have quite the same food preferences as I do
I wonder if this would work on those burner pans … the liners under the burns that catch anything which boils over from the pan? I’ve also read that using vinegar over night works but haven’t given it a try yet.
Thanks for this tip!
@Small Footprints: I haven’t tested it with burner pans, but it should work on any food that’s burned – ie. charcoal-like. Baking soda also cuts grease, so any mixture of burnt and greasy food should be an easy prey
How to clean out burnt food without chemicals,you said, and then you used baking soda, Natriumkarbonat, which is indeed a chemical compound. (Water is a chemical compound too)SO you should say “How to clean out burnt food with natural chemicals” for instant. Hilsen Eva, kjemikeren. Eva, mamman, er veldig kry av disse sidene deres!
@Eva: Hm, yes. You’re right, of course. Perhaps “without harmful chemicals” would’ve been more precise
