Removing Burn Marks From Stainless Steel Pot

RE: Removing Burn Marks From Stainless Steel Pot Post By Samuel The Delighted (Guest Post) (11/09/2008) I am happy I tired all these methods on this site but they did not work. I cooked some peanuts last night and they burned (they tasted good though). I had some steel wool in the shed that is combined with a soap, so I used that. All the stains were going in seconds it was really good and made me happy!

First I soaked the pot with hot!! water, dish detergent, and some lemon juice for about 4 hours - then once all of the stuck on eggs ( yes, I exploded hard boiled eggs all over the kitchen) were dissolved the cerma brite. It cleaned my 35 year old farberware pot like new. Good luck - my biggest problem was my husband laughing so hard he cried.

I tried all these suggestions, lemon juice, baking soda and vinegar, and I tried the dishwasher detergent for only a minute and letting it soak. Well it all helped a bit but there were some marks that wouldn't come off. Finally my mother-in-law suggested the dishwasher detergent and water and bringing it to a boil and letting it simmer for a long time. So I did that and let it simmer for about 45 min--make sure it doesn't boil dry! Then used a pot scrubber and finally it came off. Yahoo!

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Burn Marks From Stainless Steel Pot Post By Jaime (Guest Post) (05/28/2008) I just tried putting dry dishwashing detergent and just enough water to cover the burnt areas. Then put it on a stove to boil the water for a second and took the pan of the stove and let it sit for about 10 minutes and it came right off. My pot was severely burned with milk and I pretty much gave up and decided to buy a new one until I found this site. Be patient, it works!

I burned the bottom of a brand new stainless steel pot - tried the cut lemon trick and without any hard scrubbing the marks came out in less the 5 minutes. Thanks again Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Burn Marks From Stainless Steel Pot Post By the clean ing guy (Guest Post) (12/05/2007) Yes I found the dry dishwasher soap work the best. I deep fried my turkey and burned the out side of the pan. what I found to clean it the best is cascade dry dishwasher soap with a little hot water and a green scrubbing making the soap do the cleaning. Thanks for the help guys.

Boiling water with a cloth fabric seems help a little bit. Otherwise nothing works. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Burn Marks From Stainless Steel Pot Post By Brian (Guest Post) (02/03/2006) NO! Bleach will cause stainless steel to become pitted! You may not be able to see them with the naked eye, but this will permanently damage your SS cookware.

The vinegar and soda will bubble and then help scrub off the burn. Use a pot scrubber after a few hours and it should come clean. -Wonderfulone fromHamilton Editor's Note: This works well but DO NOT use on Aluminum pans.

My friend uses a cut lemon on her restaurant hot plate and it removes all the burnt on grease - she just keeps rubbing and when the lemon is squashed, and all the juice is on the hot plate, rubs it with a green scouring pad. Every bit comes off back to the bare steel. Its like magic and no detergent smell left behind.

Wait for a sunny day and leave the pot outside in full sun for 8 hours, this will often loosen the charcoal. 2. Get some normal household bleach and soak the pot for a few hours this should remove all the stains. Good luck!

Let it soak for 1/2 hour or so. Then take a dish brush or scrubby and work on the scorched area. If it doesn't all come off, let it soak a while longer. It may take a while to clean but each time you work on it you allow the detergent to get to new areas. I've restored pans this way and hopefully you can, too. If the scorching is on both the outside and the inside, either soak it in a sink using a little more automatic dishwasher detergent or find something large enough to hold the pot and soak it in that. Wear rubber gloves if you try to clean it with a scrubbie because it is much more caustic than hand dishwashing detergent and will dry your hands. - Susan Report Spam or Abuse
