House Cleaning in the Kitchen - Bunrt Pots

Saturday, August 18th, 2007

I was reviewing my website stats today: When I noticed that I had two inquiries about burnt pots so I thought I would write about that. Common wisdom here is to soak and scrub and soak and scrub while silently cursing and swearing that you will never let this happen again.

Then I quickly replaced the pot lid after stirring the contents. Now, the clean up was an easy rinse away. I did not have to risk cleaning up spills on an active hot stove top.

For Help Cleaning Dishes with an automatic dishwasher Try this for a more effective dish washing cleansing. You will want to add a few tablespoons of any type of vinegar along with the dish washing detergent (liquid or powder) when washing dishes. The vinegar will act to cut the grease and leaves dishes sparkling as it helps shed spots and streaks. A side note here: Where I come from in western PA. we pronounce washing “warshing”… I actually used to spell it as I said it… Go figure!
