How do you clean a scorched stainless steel pan?
I just came in from work, put a heavy gage stainless steel, copper bottom pan on with a bit of oil to heat for dinner. My husband called with an emergency and I forgot the pan for about five minutes. By the time I got back to the pan it was scorched black and the oil caught fire as I rounded the corner. I put the fire out with salt since it was an oil fire and it now sits on the back steps waiting for the smoke to disapate.
HOW do I clean this? It is scorched BLACK. I’ll admit I haven’t gotten it to the sink yet since it is still hot but this is a new pan and I’d hate to think it is ruined. Any cleaning ideas? I’ve always cooked in cast iron so the stainles steel is a new experience. Advise please!
For the outside of the pan (copper) ketchup works, so does a mix of 1 part each of flour, salt and vinegar. Leave for about 10 minutes then wash off.
For the inside – put about 2 inches of water in the pan with about 1 tablespoon of baking soda. Bring to the boil. Then let the water cool, scrub and rinse.
Both these methods may need to be used a few times, but I much prefer using them to commercial cleaning products.
