Don't waste your time scrubbing a badly burned pot or even think about throwing it away! All you need to do is put it outside in direct sunlight for a few days. The burnt food will crust up together, and when you turn it upside down, it will all fall out. I burned a huge pot of food the other day and my mother called up with this tip. Sure enough, the pot is back to normal thanks to the sun!

If the pot is stainless steel just spray with a little eazy off and the burnt part lifts right off.
Also, you can fill the pan with water and put it back on the burner on low for a while. After you drain the water, the pan will be easy to clean.
Wet the pan/pot sprinkle baking soda in it let it set for a day or so the pan/pot will be easier to clean. You may need to repeat for heavily soiled pans/pots.
I have found that soaking the pan overnight with a new fabric softener sheet also does the trick. Most burnt and sticky food come right out. I then run it through the dishwasher and it is ready to use again.
I just tried using sunshine and it worked great! My pot had a roughly 3-inch square area of burnt-on tomato sauce that I thought was going to require dynamite to get off.
I am either a great cook or burning things. Then there is my husband who puts things on to cook and goes to sleep....
I have found for thick heavily burned on crust, soaking for a couple of days adding dishwasher soap usually does the trick. I will try this sun trick, however I am not sure how it could dry these messes up any more than they are already dried. That fabric softer sounds like a good method, I always have lots of thst around. I will try the liquid fabric softer & see how that works next time.
Mix baking soda and blue dawn dish soap into a thick paste and spread it on pans , pots even drip pans or that dirty oven let it sit 30min or so wipes clean
Attosa, I can't believe this is so easy! Tempting to burn something on to try it out.:)
