Dirty Dishes

Housekeeping tip of the day:

Burnt pan rescue tips.

• fill pot with 3 inches of water or to cover all burnt or baked on areas. Add a 1/4 of a cup of dishwasher liquid. Stir to dissolve. Let sit overnight (put pan in oven if you have animals that might take a sip ;-) Pan should wipe clean.
• For really bad burnt pans, try the above treatment, but first bring the mixture to a boil. Then allow pan to sit overnight~ with soapy mixture slowly eating away at the burnt mess.
• fill pot with water. Add 1/4 cup - 1/2 cup of baking soda and 1 tsp. of dish soap. Bring pot to a boil. Stir. Burnt bits should loosen and float up into the water. Rinse and repeat if necessary.

Always rewash pots when all burnt areas are clean.

And guess how I know...blushing!
