Today started with a bang, litterally !!!
Today started with a bang. Literally !!! Dumb ole me wanted to boil some eggs for Frank for his lunch. So I promptly put 'em in a pan of water and turned the gas on . Medium not high. Then I remembered that I needed to answer e-mail. So I did. Then I kissed Frank bye bye and sit down as I'm havin some heart pain. Weeeeellllllll, I heard this "BLAST" then another one. Sounds like it came from the kitchen so I'm thinkin we blew a circuit. I go in the kitchen to yet another 2 blast and a smell I never want to smell again. Not only did they blow up but the durn things burned to my pan. My GOOD Revere Copper Bottom pan. So I took the whole cotton pickin mess out to the porch and shut the door. Now here I am tellin yall about it. Poor poor pittiful me. hehehehe Honestly, its poor poor pittiful pan. ANd of course, Frank called to tell me to put the mail out and heard a big bang. Well, I didn't know how to lie about a big bang so i told the truth. when he finished laughin he told me I can only cook with a timer now. )^&^%#$%^) dang it anyway. It just so happenes that I have one on my stove. BUT, I need one louder. Sooooooo, I get to go shopin !!!Yippie Skippie. For further info on my "mess" I'll tell youins later. Hugs, Eileene Any one know how to clean a pan like this?? Now come on, surley I ain't the only one thats ever done this.....am I?????

My mom recently did the same thing. But she had left the home to run to my brothers who was in a crisis, she returned home to see smoke coming out of her window, went in and her eggs had burned to a crisp. Took forever to get the smoke out. The smell is beyond description. I think burnt eggs is one of the worst.
ReplyDeleteShe had to throw her pan out. But I found these instructions on a web site:)
1) Fill the pot with water, add a squirt of dishwashing soap and bring to a boil. Simmer for a few minutes, then allow to soak for an hour.
2) Scrub the pot again.
3) If food remains, try covering the pot bottom with a thick paste of baking soda and water and allowing to sit overnight. Then add two tablespoons of white vinegar and water, bring to a boil, simmer for 10 minutes, then allow to sit overnight again.

ThanksAnn. I googled too and the stain and smell came out. Eileene
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely not the only one. I have Revere Ware as well - got it 40 years ago as a wedding present. So you can imagine how many times I've burned things in it. Steel wool is my main weapon. I scrub off all I can. If there is still some left, I put an inch or so of amonia and put on the pot cover and let it sit over night. That usually loosens the char up enough to remove it.
ReplyDeleteI know that I'm a little late with a solution for cleaning your pan...but did you know that fabric softener added to water and heated and allowed to sit over night will lift scorched stuff from a pan.
