Soda crystals and water - leave to soak for a good few hours then scrub.

That's what I was going to suggest. Baking soda and vinegar will get rid of loads of things. Cover the bottom of the pan with bicarb (1 cm thick) then pour in just enough vinegar to get a good fizz going. give it a bit of a scrub then pour in some boiling water and let it soak. It may take a couple of times to get the burn all off, but baking soda & vinegar is great stuff.

My OH uses a rice cooker but mostly for larger groups of people. She cooks fab food but gets easily distracted away from the kitchen so sad to say this isn't the first time we've had smouldering pots in the kitchen. I somehow have a mental image of having to deal with a blackened m/w oven so I'll opt out from passing your otherwise great idea onto her (but thanks all the same ). I saw a smaller rice cooker some weeks ago (at K-Mart?) - enough for a family of four so I might get one of those.


I use my rice cooker all the time and they are great. I know how to cook rice on the stove because I went to Indian cookery classes in the UK, but I still choose to use my rice cooker because you can go and watch the tele whilst it is cooking and no chance of it burning!! Also, afterwards if you just soak it in water overnight you just tip the water out and wipe it out with some kitchen towel - makes the non-stick coating last longer.:)

Sorry, still working on it. :o

Results so far:

Coke: :thumbdown: Salt: :thumbdown: Oven Cleaner: :unsure: ...Some came off - Trying a second application with that.

Re: Smoking Pot
 

Try Dorothy's solution below. I asked Mrs. A and she said the same thing.

Could also try baking soda and water and simmering for a while. Some videos on youtube. :fingerscrossed:

Re: Smoking Pot
 

Thanks, will try that next.

And thanks everyone for all of your suggestions :)

...Currently racking my brains with a .Net LINQ to Entities problem so the pot is sort of on the back burner right now :eek:

Next try BoS & Vinegar :fingerscrossed: (gotta buy the BoS first)

Re: Smoking Pot
 

I'm telling you, chuck it in the bin! :)

Re: Smoking Pot
 

I think you could well be right :lol:

Ganna give BoS and vinegar a try first. :sneaky: And if that fails I'll lend it to BS ;)
