Right, would you like to know what happens if you put your porridge on the gas and then fall asleep for an hour and a half? Well I now have a stainless steel saucepan which has a thick, very hard coating on the inside. Any idea what will get rid it? It is so hard that a scraper won't touch it, even after soaking for hours!

Caustic soda, drain cleaner, that kind of stuff, I used it in an Italian restaurant to clean the huge sauce pan we used to cook I can't remerber which sauce which must burn at the bottom to be proper. We did rince the sauce pan after treatment that needs usually an overnight soak.
Good luck.
 
OK, think of the most expensive/your absolute favourite meal that can be cooked in a saucepan......you know, like the ONE thing that would be completely ruined by contamination by porridge. Put it in the saucepan and cook as normal.......sod's law says that by the time it is ready to eat, it will have dissolved the porridge and ruined the meal. Presto, one clean saucepan. No need to thank me etc.

I'll get me coat

Heat it again. When I did it it was for more like five hours. The resulting biscuit dropped out of the pan on inverting. I did have it on a low heat though.
 
Well, my son and I are trying to sort it now, before too much wine has been drunk. I say break a dishwasher tablet in hot water. He says hot Cillet Bang. So we are using a dishwasher tablet in hot cillet bang. I'll keep you posted!

If SWMBO doesn't know about this then go and buy a new one,you know it makes sense ;)

No SWMBO here, it's a boys house and I am obsessed with not spending money. I can now say hot Cillet bang and a Tesco dishwasher tablet mixed up and simmered for an hour is the way to go. My nose and eyes are a bit sore and we are both a bit unsteady on our feet but that is probably the wine.

Isn't it wonderful / amazing that in a time when people are being shot at and whole countries' economies are crashing, we Brits can ask the internet " how do I clean my sticky saucepan ? " !

In the bright light of morning, with a hangover, I agree with you and feel a little silly about it.
In my defence, it is a stainless saucepan, not a stainless anchor and I didn't discuss the damage to the environment by throwing it away and buying another. I also stayed away from saying that I have a similar set of pans on my Westerly yacht.

Turn upside down and srike violently with a 5lb club hammer. Should pop it out nicely. :D:D
 
Allan,
Do NOT be embarrassed or ashamed, it is exactly now, in these dark times that threads like yours are needed. You & your fellow posters (Except Seajet - shame on you) have lightened my day while I sit here with a bad head cold & an infected ear.

SeaJet, you of all people should understand the need for humour in times of war & despair. I am surprised at your intolerance






- good job that I know it was a P-take really, like this! :D

So now I'm confused!!! If your post and that of Seajet were both P-takes does that mean I am right to be embarrassed? Just being old and needing a nap while the porridge was cooking is embarrassing enough. Posting such a silly question on here while pi$$ed has just added to that. I don't think you are helping. I now need a long walk to get rid of this red wine hangover.

PS Due to the boiling Cillet bang fumes I have had to remove my glass eye and wear an eye patch for a few hours.
