If you are having trouble getting off tough, dry, crusty food stains off of pots and pans, I have an easy, quick solution for you! Take the troublesome pot/pan and fill it with hot water. Put in a couple drops of dishwashing liquid, (I normally use a small squirt.) place the pot of water on the stove and allow it to boil. after a few minutes of boiling, remove from the heat, and the residue should now be soft and easy to remove.
