Cleaning Burnt Pans

I burnt my teapot by leaving it on the stove for too long. It now has brown spots all over it. How do I clean it?

Hi, I have always used a couple of tablespoons of baking soda in the pot fill about half full of water and boil for about 20 minutes or so. If the spots still aren't gone, you can replace the mixture and try again. This usually works really well, I had burnt potatoes to a brand new pot and made a mess. I used this mixture and after boiling a couple of times it came clean! (11/26/2009)
