I read a tip today about soaking burnt pans in biological washing powder solution which apparently takes off all the burnt mess and brings them up like new. You pour in an eggcup full of bio washing powder, add warm water and leave to soak overnight. The next morning it should clean off easily with a washing up brush.
Now, buy yourself a slow cooker cos seriously, even people that really can’t cook (like me) can’t go far wrong and you won’t have any burnt stuff on pans to worry about, just yummy food
