Earlier in the month we discussed how to remove hard water stains from stainless steel cookware. This time, we’re going to tackle removing baked on foods and blackened cookware bottoms. To remove baked on foods pour vinegar onto the pan so it covers the offending areas. Sprinkle baking soda on top; you should see the mixture start to bubble. Swirl the mixture for a bit, let it sit for two minutes, then wash normally. If all went according to plan, the dried food should have come off easily.

To restore the shiny bottoms of non toxic cookware sets use this simple technique: Begin by pouring vinegar over the bottom of the pots and pans. Sprinkle table salt on top of the vinegar, let the mixture stand for one minute, and then, using a sponge, scrub the mixture in a circular motion. Rinse off the mixture and those blackened bottoms should look new again!
