You Will Need
- Baking soda
- Water
- A sponge or paper towel
- Patience
- A fabric-softener sheet
-
Step 1
Sprinkle baking soda
Sprinkle baking soda in the pot or pan, so it coats the bottom entirely.
-
Step 2
Moisten with water
Add enough warm water for the baking soda to become a paste.
-
Step 3
Wait
Let it sit for at least ten minutes; the longer you let it soak, the better. The sodium bicarbonate will penetrate the stuck-on food and loosen it.
-
Tip
No baking soda? Use a wet fabric softener sheet; it contains antistatic agents that will loosen the bond between the food and the pot.
-
Step 4
Wipe
Wipe the pot with a sponge or damp paper towel.
-
Step 5
Don’t give up
Food still stuck? Add more baking soda and water, and this time boil the mixture in the pot for a few minutes. Let it cool, then wipe clean.
-
Fact
When mixed with water, baking soda can also soothe a bee sting, clean teeth, and keep a drain clog-free.
