How To: Clean a Burned On Stainless Pan

Have you ever done this to your favorite pan?

Ugly!

Well, I learned this great trick from a cooking segment on TV. You take the baked on, burned on pan and put some water in it. Stick it on the stove on high and boil the water. You will notice that bubbles form on the baked on food and rip it loose from the pan:

Now, when you are all done boiling the water in the pan and giving it a scrape or two with a metal spatula (be careful not to splash yourself with the VERY hot water), drop the pot into a sink of soapy water and give it a bit of a scrub with a copper pad.

Voila!
