Fortunately I learned early in my housekeeping career how to clean out badly burned pots (before blogging I surfed the Internet quite extensively).  And the method is simple and affordable: baking soda and hot water.  That&#8217;s it!  You cover the  of the pan with baking soda and then pour boiling water on it and let is stand a couple of days and then wipe out the pan.  You may  need to do it a second time and use a brillo but it&#8217;s usually much easier to clean.<br \/>\nAnother cleaning product that I love is Barkeeper&#8217;s Friend, it is cheap and takes out rust stains and gives porcelain a real shine.<br \/>\nRelated Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Works+for+Me+Wednesday\" rel=\"tag\">Works for Me Wednesday<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Cleaning+Pots\" rel=\"tag\">Cleaning Pots<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Cleaning+Tips\" rel=\"tag\">Cleaning Tips<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, Shannon from Rocks in the Dryer started her on meme day to share things that work for us: Think how much we could all learn from each other if we share our own little ideas!.
