Handy Tip for Burnt Pots

Way Of Life Health Shop

Last night I put some veges on to cook, got distracted, and forgot to turn them down. The result was a burnt pot!

I remembered seeing a note about burnt pots in my mother's hand written recipe and helpful hints book, so I pulled the old book out and found it. It was simply to soak the pot in tea leaves. So I cleaned the burnt food out of the pot, put hot water in along with a teabag, and left to soak over night. I was pleasantly surprised as the pot cleaned up easily this morning. I thought it was worth sharing as most households have teabags readily on hand.
