Caustic soda OK for burnt pan?
Lobster
caked in burnt-on residue (long story, don't ask). Think the pan is OK
below the crud but a two-day soak and pan scrub is doing nothing.
Should caustic soda be OK to use, or might the pan dissolve too? (Can't

If it's not stainless steel might it be something else that might be

Caustic will attach aluminium and flesh.
Caustic will also attack non-stick surfaces (actually I think it attacks the
copper ? plating under the teflon causing the telfon to peel off).
Other thing I do with both pans and oven shelves is place in a large poly
bag with an ammonia soaked cloth for a day or two in the garden (as it
wiffs) and dirts just wipes off.
Grunff
Yes, you can certainly give it a try, it won't damage the pan. Whether
it will work is a different matter - that will depend on the type of
deposit.
If it's still relatively high in organic content, the sodium hydroxide
should do a good job on it. However, if it is charred to the point of
being little more than carbon, you may be better off with an organic
solvent - ether (sold as carb cleaner) works well for carbon deposits.
I'd try the sodium hydroxide first.

Personally, I would buy a new one. Probably cheaper than buying the
chemicals! It might even be more environmentally friendly, although I'm not
sure on that one.

You need to be sure of the pans metal if it is aluminium it will
dissolve. TBH Caustic Soda is a bit drastic, assuming the pan is
stainless steel try *gently* simmering some washing soda in water or even
water & a squirt of washing up liquid for half an hour or so. Add liberal
elbow grease applied with a soft (not metal) scraper and you should
succeed, followed up with Bar Keepers Friend for the final polish/clean.
Failing that try a proprietary, mild, oven cleaner.

For "antique" stainless steel, using a 20 gallon or so pan, boil in a
strong washing soda solution for a few hours. Usually effective and
harmless.

I would suggest the rather more costly, but gentler, Dr Beckmann

scrubbing.
It seems to work (slowly) on my pans and roasting tins.

There was a strong suggestion about 20 years ago that the use of aluminium
cooking vessels was a contributory cause of Alzheimer's disease. I don't know
whether anything was fully proved but I know many people discarded their
aluminium pots and pans in favour of stainless or Teflon. Apparently aluminium
pressure cookers were regarded as safe because cooking was done by steam rather
than by being immersed in boiling water.

But plenty more were made afterwards - mostly to use up spare aluminium

Not aluminium smelting capacity though - they were just recycling those
same Spitfires post-war. The Landrover was bodied in an aluminium
alloy because steel was in such short supply, but there was a huge
supply of scrap aircraft. The first Landie prototype was panelled with
sheet cut literally with an axe from aircraft awaiting disposal.
Owing to concerns over alloy quality, almost none of the pans were ever
used for Spitfires. For years there was a large dump of them (Welsh
quarry somewhere?)

Lobster: going back to basics, what kind of pan scrub? A few months ago
I bought a pack of six of those stainless steel wire scrubs (*not* steel
wool -- these look like very neat bundles of steel shavings (but they're
obviously not)). I bought 'em in the Pund Shop as we caal it up here in
GeordieLand.
I'd seen these all my life, on and off, and never used them -- they
looked too scruffy for my pristine kitchen.
Well, I tried one of these out and by god it works miracles. Not only
that: they're indestructible; I'm still using the first one out of the
pack. And there are "1001 uses" for a keen DIYer.
Apologies, if that's what you've already tried, and also to any

If after 15 minutes the water has turned a disgusting shade of brown you are

When I used to burn food in metal pans (haven't done it for years) there was
an easy solution. I did it with aluminium, stainless steel, copper and iron.
Put the pan, empty, on the hottest burner you have. The carbon (that's what
the burnt food has turned to) will burn to carbon dioxide and leave the
metal cleaner than it's been since new.
It won't be shiny but that's not important. You can bring up a shine
mechanically if you like but what's the point?
WARNING: don't do it with a pan with any kind of coating - 'non-stick',
teflon, anodised, enamel - ANYTHING.

Mine wasn't. I have an old aluminium pan and an aluminium pressure cooker
both inherited from the four bears. Can't say either of them get much use
but they don't appear to have done me any harm. I know that because I can

I saw those women on TV use coke (the drink) to clean a pan. Poured a litre
or so in and heated gently. To get it working well I think you'll need to
fully rinse any alkali off first though.
Be sure to report back - I'd be interested to hear if it works as well as
it looked.

It's easy to melt aluminium on a gas ring. Not SS, though - it will just

IIRC, they were the first type to have a non stick coating. And still
readily available today - aluminium gives a much more even spread of heat
over the entire pan.

I tried it last week, worked fine. This was just discolouration in the

I got some burnt rice off a SS pan the other day, by boiling some diluted
household amonia for a five minutes in it. The amonia gas was driven off
completely in that time, but I was able to remove the burnt rice with a

Rather the opposite really
I don't think there was ever a strong suggestion scientifically, but it
seemed to catch media/public attention. In 1997 the WHO declared that al
wasn't health risk for those not exposed to it at work, and no evidence
that it was primary cause of Alzheimer's. And anyway, the amount of Al
that gets into food through cooking in contact with Al is very low.
Though it's best not to use it with highly acidic foods as it can taint
the food.

I've got an Al pressure cooker and couple of uncoated Al pans I picked
up along the way somewhere. My Mum still has and uses her set of Swan
pans she has had for ever AFAIK. New EU regs came in in I think 2004 tht
I think effectively bans uncoated Aluminum.
I much prefer much good quaity anodised and non-stick Al pans to
Stainless steel ones.

When post mortems were done on people who had died with Alzheimer's they
were sometimes found to have small collections of aluminium salts in their
brain.
That was the only link.

In tests with mice and fruit flies, an enzyme appeared to both
eliminate the tangles and reduce the brain's decline. Much of
Alzheimer's research has focused on so-called amyloid plaques, a
buildup of proteins inside the brain between cells that appears to
contribute to dementia. It's not clear if tangles hurt brain cells or
are just a symptom of a dementia problem. The point is that they're
totally correlated with neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease, and
in a number of other dementias.
