6 proven ways to clean the bottom of a burnt pot

If you gape and the food in the pot is badly burnt, it will be difficult to clean the bottom of the burnt pot with a simple dishwashing detergent. You can try soaking the bottom in a soapy solution, but this will not always help.

It is known that the enamel surface can be damaged by acid, and the stainless steel pot is easily damaged by salt.
