cover the burnt stuff in your pots with bleach & let it sit outside overnight.It usually wipes out easy. ----- Original Message ----- From: grace1...@aol.com To: silver-list@eskimo.com Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2005 3:50 PM Subject: Re: CS>Aluminum cookware
I haven't done much cooking in my glass pots (Don't remember if these were really glass, but they were either clear amber, or clear brownish purple). I only got them when my acupuncturist had me cooking up a mixture of Chinese herbs. He said only a glass pan would do, if I remember correctly. I was directed to simmer the herbs for many hours, and therefore wouldn't have expected anything to burn, but I remember I just couldn't get the residue off the pots. Of course scouring on glass with a steel scrubbing pad isn't much fun. I have never used the pots again, but seem to remember I never did get the caked-on or burned-on residue off. Of course, I'm not talking about the Corningware-type ceramic pans, or those appearing to be clear glass, used to bake in the oven, or in the microwave. These come clean easily by scrubbing with a stainless steel scrub pad, or even the nylon back of a sponge (after soaking). I was just talking about those pots used on the stove top over a flame. The handles on these glass pots also got very hot and were hard to handle (similar to cast iron handles). Hope this helps, Jill
