Thanks Holly but I don't have any burnt food stuck to the bottom.. What I have is a scarred bottom that is golden from all the cooking I do in the pot.. Nothing wrong with the pot except it looks a bit ugly because of the golden bottom..
Oh sorry then Steve can't help... Just getting ready to leave for work..it's 6.50am..and torrential rain..*ugh*!! Hope you find a cure for your pot.. ...have a good day ..
I was thinking of using some.... vim.... to clean the bottom, but is vim OK to use on cookware that we eat out of ???
Was wondering if someone has a suggestion that would be safer for the pot.. Vim could do it but it isn't recommended for use on utensils that consume food....
Did you try what that company ( Lagostina brand ) suggested? you may not have seen what I had posted on the prior page, Steve.. It said to just " Pour a little vinegar or Lemon juice into the sauce pan or pot and wipe clean with a paper towel or damp washcloth." that is suppose to take way the darkening of the pots bottom inside.. you can leave it sit for a while too if its really bad. and if its on the outside , I would imagine you would do the same thing, its certainly not going to hurt the pot in any way.. just rinse it good after the treatment ..
I tried the lemon.. I tried vinegar.. I tried vim.. I tried CLR.. I tried the abrasive sink cleaner.. NOTHING WORKED ATHOUGH IT DID GET A BIT LIGHTER AFTER ALL THAT SCRUBING..
I tried Old Dutch with bleach, let it sit for a while, scrub with a dishes sponge and it finally came off.. ALL OF IT CAME OFF ............ and now the inside of the pot looks just like new.... It just got yellow golden because I use that pot very often and eventually the bottom got golden brown..
Well there, you did it..!! whoo hoo.!! so now you know what to do next time it begins to get that way again,, seeing you do use it a lot.. I usually use Comet and that is a great cleanser for just about any kind of stain too...
Comet or Ajax are both very good abrasives.. NOW.... I have some copper pots that have turned very dark.. What do you recommend to clean copper pots ????
Someone told me to try....... Tomato sauce, ketchup, tomato paste, or anything with tomato in it..... I wonder if that will work....
I will be gone for 2 days.. Leaving on Tuesday May 30th (my Birthday) for Sault Ste. Marie to see our orthopedic specialist.. For Annmarie, it is for her foot as well as the yearly check-up for her knee replacement which is 100% perfect.. For me, it is the final X-rays and a consultation with the last instructions before surgery.. We will be back on Wednesday but very late..
Happy Birthday to you Steve.. too bad you won't be here to enjoy your Big Birthday bash we are all planning for you here tomorrow.... Can you tell us how old you will be Steve, so that we will know how many cakes we need to make, to fit all those candles ?
