Burnt the beetroot I was cooking tonight (caught it just in time - perhaps -so beetroot were still OK). I filled the saucepan with boiling water (not cold as it was still very hot) - added some bicarb soda and when it started to bubble added some vinegar. (Be careful it doesn't go over the top). Boiled it for a while and hey presto! Saucepan only had a few black marks to scour. Cleaned in a few minutes.

Used to work a long time ago in the Prawn industry as a deckhand. When the cook burnt the pans or pots, regularly I might add, we used to pop the pans into a small net called a shot net. It looked like a regular fishing net but really small. This was lowered to the sea floor and dragged behind the boat for about 10 minutes. By counting the prawns that were in the net after 10 minutes we could judge how many should be in the big nets after 3 hours. The pots and pans used to come out sparkling clean, no burn marks, no paint, no teflon, just bare metal.

If a little bleach in water cleans tea and coffee stains from plastic/earthenware mugs. would it also clean burnt saucepans? Anyone tried it?

No way Gary, the bleach will turn the aluminium black - it reacts and oxidises the surface of the aluminium. Steel wool is the go.

Golly...Still using Aluminium cookware? I suggest you do some research on the subject.
The sale of it has been banned in many European countries due its links with Alzheimers

Don't know about aluminium, but using cast iron regularly is not good for Hemochromatosis ... the say. (Iron overload disorder)
Seems like an outbreak in South Africa black population was traced back to their use of cast iron pots for all cooking & brewing of beer.
So there you go, all of you lot using camp ovens.

The Aliminium/Alzheimers link was made at least as far back as the early to mid-60s' . I haven't used Aluminium since then.
Also only use Crystal Deoderant for the same reason. Haven't checked any recently, but most Deoderants used to contain Aluminium.
Cheers,
Sheba.

Hi all. For burnt saucepans/pots shot blasting is the go, No4 shot at 25metres and if its not clean another barrel at 20 metres until its clean and, hopefully, still watertight. and Sheba you have to try the new deodorant.no aluminium but it makes you invisible and leaves everyone to wonder where the smell's coming from. Cheers.

No one said the saucepans were aluminium. I burnt a stainless steel one and Gary didn't say his was aluminium.

As far as food conundrums - read the other day that grapes are a no. 1 'no-no' for diabetics. Too much sugar. Same day I read how good grapeskins were for our health. So do we peel the grape and eat only the skin now?
I say all things in moderation.
