Getting Burnt Milk off a Pot
Burnt milk in the bottom of your favourite pot can be devastating. But with a few simple steps, you can restore it to its former glory. Follow these easy guidelines to get rid of burnt milk in a pot.
Steps:
- Soak first: Fill the pot with hot water and let it rest for 15-30 minutes. This allows the burnt milk particles to loosen.
- Scrub gently: In a circular motion, use a dish sponge with one half of its surface dampened and a bit of baking soda. Be careful not to scrub too hard and damage the pot.
- Try cleaning supplies: If your pot is stainless steel or cast iron, use a cleaner to help remove the burnt milk. Make sure to rinse the pot with water afterwards.
- Try vinegar: Fill the pot with hot water and two cups of white vinegar. Let it sit for half an hour, then scrub with a dish sponge.
- Try boiling: If soaking, scrubbing and cleaning supplies don’t work, it’s time to try boiling it. Fill the pot with hot water and one cup of baking soda, and boil it for 30 minutes.
- Marinade: If other methods fail, cover the burnt miler in a thick layer of white vinegar and a few tablespoons of baking soda. Let it sit overnight, or at least 8 hours, and then scrub it off.
By following these easy steps, you can rid your pot of burnt pesky milk!
