As title says, I was lent a Dutch oven pot. I attempted to cook. It got severely burnt and was completely black. I’ve tried boiling a vinegar/water mixture. Same with baking soda. I’ve tried several times and let the boiled mixture sit overnight. I’ve used scrub brushes and Brillo pads. It got a lot better but still looks pretty bad and I don’t see it ever getting to the state it was in when I borrowed it using the methods I’ve been using. I looked through existing threads on here and the only thing I haven’t tried yet is Barkeeper’s friend cleaning powder. Would that work for this? Does anyone have any other suggestions? I found the same pot so worst case scenario is I’ll replace it, but hoping to clean it somehow if possible. imgur link for photos of the problem I created. Thanks to anyone thats able to assist. https://imgur.com/a/C7yVXVc Edit: I didn't realize brillo pads damaged this type of pot. I don't cook at all, hence why I didn't have the correct pot. Another thread suggested brillo pads so I tried it, but sounds like that was a mistake. Rest assured, I will replace the pot with the exact one in the color of their choosing with a sincere apology. submitted by /u/NicoRobin007 [link] [comments]
