    Burnt pan!

    My OH has a lovely set of Avalon pans that he had pre-me and never ceases to remark on how good they are, how expensive they were bla bla bla.... And I was making Ozzy (10 months) some stewed fruit in one of the pans took my eye off it for a few mins and in that time have burnt it to a crisp! Its now got an interesting crater type bottom in char.

    Any suggestions on getting it off? I've tried putting it back on the gas with some water in about a dozen times and a bit more has come off but there's still a way to go to get it back to its former glory.

    Try putting lemon juice in the water.... then boil on stove on low heat for 20-30 mins...
    That and elbow grease?
    Never test the depth of the water with both feet

    The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....

        lol. You got a dish washer? Found the really bad burnt on bits after 1 cycle through the dish washer also loosen up a lot... The lemon juice is what I used pre dish washer. Suggested it first as not everything is dishwasher safe

        Forgot to mention , try stainless steel steel wool works better

          Biological (or diabolical as it's known in our house) washing powder or liquid with some warm water added works a treat. Leave to stand for a couple of hours and then scrub. Don't know Avalon pans, are they stainless steel?

            If it's a metal pan (as against one with a coating) you can scour it with sand. Sounds a bit industrial but it works. You can tell I've burnt a pan or two in my time, can't you? Well, you get a bit carried away stitching a quilt!

              Talking of sand I'd got a burnt pan so I let the kids have it for the sand pit after a couple of weeks the pan looked like new.

                Yes, I do that too. Don't use it on non-stick coated pans though, it's takes that off too

                  I 'Googled' Avalon Pans and it came up with Stainless Steel, so I'm assuming they are. Anyway, I always use Washing Powder too - and I only have Non-Bio. You may need to boil it up and scrub (those metal fibre scrunchy scourers are best) several times, but it will work. Good luck!

                  Oh, and next time 'himself' moans about how expensive they were, tell him he should have waited for the sales!

                      Don't use a scourer!

                      They have a non-stick coating. Anything abrasive will damage it.

                        My best tip, which you've already had is washing powder. I tend to put some in with some water and leave to simmer gently for as long as it takes - good stuff washing power - not just for cleaning clothes! (Erm, was that a confession that I've burnt my stainless steel pans on more than one occasion?)

                          Cleaning

                          Immediately after use, remove the pan from the heat and let it cool on a trivet or heat resistant surface. Do not pour cold water into a hot pan. Hand wash pans thoroughly after each use to remove food and grease particles, which would burn when the pan is reheated and cause stains. Burned on food can be removed by soaking in water and boiling. Do not use harsh abrasives or steel wool on the polished surfaces. Never use bleach, either neat or diluted, to clean your pan as pitting of the stainless steel may occur. Do not store pans when damp or wet. To avoid scratching during storage, interleave with kitchen paper. The exterior surface should be cleaned using hot soapy water and a soft cloth/non-abrasive mesh or pad after each use.

                              Boil some rhubarb leaves in the saucepan. That should remove the staining.

                              And when your back stops aching,
                              And your hands begin to harden.
