RE: Burnt Sugar in a Stainless Steel Pot
Hydrogen peroxide! Oh thank you for who ever suggested this. I burnt sweet potatoes in an expensive sauce pan. I have been boiling and soaking with vinegar, barkeepers, baking soda; don't bother, just use the hydrogen peroxide and boil for a few minutes. Now I have to search how to get the burnt stink out of the house.

RE: Burnt Sugar in a Stainless Steel Pot
I burnt my stainless steel pot 3 days ago and I tried all of the usual tricks including baking soda and vinegar, dishwasher soap, etc. Nothing even made a small dent in the black gunk stuck to the bottom of the pot. I was at my wit's end until I saw the Hydrogen Peroxide tip. It was absolutely incredible. I just covered the bottom of the pot with the Peroxide and turned it on to boil. Within seconds it started to lift and it less than one minute it was completely off. Thanks so very much!

OMG. The hydogen peroxide worked so fast! I had already boiled Sprite, white vinagar and lots of elbow grease and nothing worked. My pan looks good as new!

I would like to thank everyone who suggested using Hydrogen Peroxide and boiling it to clean burnt sugar from my stainless steel pot. You saved my pot, that is fairly new, and this was the first time I used it! I am thrilled! It works like magic, and all I had to do was very little rubbing on the inside of the pot with a wooden spoon to help it along a bit, and my pan is all shiny again! Yay! Thanks so much!

Thank you one and all for your advise! I can tell you honestly that the hydrogen peroxide worked, with very little effort. When I said that the pot was covered with a "tar" like coating, that was really an underestimation. It was more as if you took a spray machine and coated the pot with a thick coating of black, hard epoxy. UGH! Imposible as it seemed, I tried the peroxide, only because so many others said that it would work, and it did. Once again, many thanks!

Also soak with automatic dishwasher detergent and hot water overnight. A lot of it will come right up in the morning. That stuff dissolves everything!

Put it back on the stove containing baking soda and vinegar. It will loosen a good part of it. Then, scrub with a scrubber.

According to what I googled, boiling hydrogen peroxide in the pan seems to work wonders.
