Oh dear, that's no good! Mine is soaking too, but I think I might lose the pan over it, maybe I can recycle the metal. 😕

Ours is stainless steel and not the first time it's happen, so I already know it will clean up like new. If you have a non-stick pan, you'll want to toss it. The coating doesn't tolerate high heat and will leak chemicals into your food, even if it cleans up ok.

Good tips! It's a stainless steel Cuisinart but the first disaster like this. If it was non-stick then I'd be airing the whole house out. 🤢

Last time, the burned crust layer just peeled off after soaking, and with a bit of scrubbing, the rest came off. But some steel wool might work too if yours sticks to the bottom.

That's really promising! Thanks Bil 😃

Just cleaned it and it peeled off! Hope yours went as well.

Seems soapy water soaking overnight didn't do the trick... so I am trying baking soda and vinegar for an overnight 🤞🤞

I'm glad yours worked Bil!

Can you chip away at it? Or is it adhered onto the bottom? Steel wool might help.

I tried chipping with a metal spatula, maybe steel wool will sand it down. The baking soda and vinegar trick worked on the oven post-turkey day after the spatchcocked bird didn't fit in the roasting pan and the juices burned the over. Updates tomorrow! Live at 10! 🤣
