I have a fairly new, rarely used Revereware pan. No copper bottom. It has a
spout on it. I bought it specifically to make ginger tea but I no longer
make that.

The problem? Somebody Kuthed it!

The culprit won't tell me what he did but it appears to be a layer of burned
on sugar that was followed up by another layer of instant oatmeal. As in
many packets of oatmeal and water, but somehow the sugar or honey or
whatever it is underneath that, not mixed in.

The burned part is not a solid layer. It comes up around the sides of the
pan by about 1/2 an inch. There are spots on the bottom that didn't get
burned, but most of it is.

My standard treatment is to cover with baking soda and hot water. I used to
boil this but discovered that hot tap water works just as well. I did this
method many times. It did bubble off some of the burned stuff, but not all.

I scraped some off with a butter knife. Only a tiny bit came off.

Pan scraper didn't work.

Green scrubber did nothing.

Brillo pad didn't do much.

I have resorted to boiling water in it repeatedly. This is loosened a few
specks. At the rate I'm going, I might get it clean by 2022.

Help! What else can I try? Thanks!

My best suggestion is that you post a request for suggestions here and
the reject all the suggestions offered by those who have not yet come to
terms with your MO.

Oven cleaner. Let it sit for awhile. Put it outside because of the fumes.
You may need to do it more than once. Scotchbrite also now makes an
€œextreme€� scrubber, its purple, and it works better than the green ones.
Target sometimes stocks them. You can also try boiling a dryer sheet. My
mom has used that method with success, but it did not work for me when I
had pan with burnt syrup.

seems obvious...if you know who the culprit is, make them clean the mess
or replace the pan

No dryer sheets as I have a HE dryer. No oven cleaner either. I'll look for
the purple thing. If that doesn't work, I'll get some oven cleaner. Thanks!

Trust me, the oven cleaner with the scrubber will work. It was the exact
same tri-ply (non copper) Revereware pan I did this to. Its shiny as new
now, and I thought for sure Id have to throw it out. Total cost of the
oven cleaner and scrubber is less than $10. Buy them at the same time.
Theyre in the same aisle at Target, or one aisle apart. The scrubber wont
cure it on its own, its the oven cleaner doing most of the work.

Plenty of elbow grease will fix this, Julie.
Many small steps to success.

Not only that, make whoever did this either
fix it or replace it. Don't be a wuss.

don't worry about it, it is just carbon and will
come off eventually or not.

in a cast iron pan you get similar stuff mixed
with grease, carbon and the iron and iron compounds.

not worth scrubbing too much to get every last
bit IMO. especially since you said you rarely
use it.

Yes, put it in a trash bag outside and let it sit overnight.

Tell the cocksucker who keeps ****ing you over to fix it and the stove. You are making
bad choices. 911 is magic.
Please be happy this year and next. 911 the prick.

Why would she do that? She is one of those people who thrives on abuse.
She put up with her husband's crap for years. She put up with the
gardener. She has trolled for negative comments here for years.

As I said, that won't happen. So far, elbow grease hasn't worked.

The problem is, when I do use it, black bits get mixed with my food.

Oven cleaner following directions then
Brillo pad then
Propane torch if the first two dont work then
Brillo pad then
Throw the pan away if those doesnt work.
OR:
The power tool method mentioned above then
Brillo pad.
OR:
Chuck it out in the yard for a year. You have plenty of rain then
Brillo pad.

yes oven cleaner will be best but that is just no fun!

Melt it down clear away the slag
pour into a mold allow to cool
fasten the handle and attach with rivets
melt it down again just to **** off the neighbor
and this time use a hammer and anvil pound it to the correct shape
attach newly created handle
polish and apply nonstick coating if desired
melt it down again then throw it away because it is just a freakin
melted pot.

Household ammonia is very inexpensive Place the pan in a plastic
trash bag and pour about an ounce of household ammonia into the bag
and seal the top of the bag with a twist tie... do this outdoors, and
add nothing else, no soaps, never any bleach. The ammonia fumes will
dissolve the schmutz, not the liquid ammonia. Leave it outdoors for
maybe a week and then wash the pan with a sponge and dishwashing soap,
should clean good as new without any scrubbing.

Thanks!

If you leave it outside after dark with a small glass of milk elves will clean so it looks brand new, or they do with shoes.

Ignore Thomas. 911 doesn't respond to cases of burnt-on crud on pans
perpetrated by an alleged culprit who "won't tell me what he did". Good
lord, what a ridiculous suggestion.

You could try leaving the empty pan on the stove to reduce the stuff to ashes. I've done that. It's pretty cool, although I can't say if it will clean off the stuff on the sides and it might discolor your pan.

That's how my Dutch Oven got destroyed. Also Revereware but copper bottom.
It was a newer one and I never really cared for it. Seemed to thin or
something. He boiled some tea bags in there and left it. The bags were
welded and it was black inside and out, plus the handles started to melt. I
did just toss it out as I have another Dutch oven that I prefer.

I tried the oven cleaner, a wire brush and the purple scrubber twice. Seemed
to get off about 99% of anything sticking up. The black still remains
though.
