> you can scrub and scrape them

Though you won't need to scrub very long if you use this:

Because of chemistry I don't understand, oxalic acid is amazing at removing burnt on food.

The chemicals don't appeal to me - I don't want them in the house, in the sewage water or as residue on the pots.

Soak pots in plain water for several hours and they'll clean easily.


Clean freaks might object to standing water in pans. But it really does work. First rinse & brush out what you can before soaking, so that it looks like water and not sludge.


Water is a powerful solvent it just needs time.


It’s the best thing ever. However if cleaning many things I highly recommend gloves. Will leave your hands feeling odd for awhile otherwise.
