How do you scrape burned rice out of a stainless steel pan?!
I was making rice pudding and thought I turned it off and went outside to water the garden!.
Came back in and OOPS, burned rice BADLY on my good stainless steel pan!.
This stuff is STUCK on bad!.
I soaked in vinegar over night with barely any results!. I don't want to scour with metal and scratch the pan!. It's a pretty nice $50 pan!.
Any ideas, tips, tricks to get this pan clean using only plastic scouring pads!. I've already put a ton of elbow grease in it!.
Thanks!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Put 3-4 inches of water along with a hearty sprinkling of baking soda and a small squirt of dish liquid into the pan!. Put on the stove, and allow to come to a boil!. Turn the heat down and let it simmer for a bit!. Be careful not to let it boil over or it makes a huge mess!. The bottom should come clean!Www@FoodAQ@Com
You can partially fill the pot (ensuring all blackened areas are covered) and then add a very generous amount of salt to the water (since I don't know the size of the pot, it is hard for me to recommend a quantity but you want the water to be very salty)!. Put it on the stove and bring to a boil and allow the salt water to boil for 5 or 10 minutes then leave the pot to cool!. Rinse and wipe clean with a pot scrubber and it should look like new!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I'm taking to heart your words, "This stuff is stuck on bad!."
Take the pan outdoors, spray the inside with oven cleaner!.
Let is sit for an hour or so and it should come clean with a gentle scrubbing!. You can repeat if necessary!. Then wash it out with some dish soap and water!.
Bar Keeper's Friend is a gentle scouring powder (a little like Ajax) that won't scratch up your pan!. I've used it with steel wool a couple of times on my "pricey" stainless steel pans with excellent results!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Try mixing baking soda into a paste with warm water & let it sit in the pan for a few hours!.
Or this -- I made mine more watery & turned the heat on for about a minute under the pan until mixture bubbled!. Then I turned heat off & let pan sit!. That got most of it off, I recall!. Then I use Bar Keepers Friend on anything that was left!. Mine was not rice!. We left the fire simmering under a pot of soup and all the liquid had evaporated & stuff burned on the bottom!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Ouch! Sorry to hear about that!. I suggest trying some vinegar and baking soda- the two together work well!. also try boiling some soapy water in the pot for a while, that might help loosen some of the debris!. Just remember not to actually scrape, as you said, we want to save that pan!
Good luck! I hope you can save it!. :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Fill the pot up w/cold water to cover the burned on rice!. Bring it up to a boil!. Do it again w/some high powered soap in the mix!. This time let the water sit in the pan until its luke warm, dump it out and scrub it up w/the plastic scouring pad!. You should be all set!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
soaking in vinegar wont make it come clean without scrubbing afterwards!. I normally leave to soak with vinegar and soapy water, then wash as normal, the next day and it comes clean!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
