How Do I Clean Burnt Food from Pot

I too was going to say baking soda. I also found putting the pot on the stove with water and baking soda mix and bring to a boil, then let sit overnight. Tried adn true, it works!

Okay, it is not all natural, but it works. Dawn makes a spray cleaner. I have not used it on no stick but my mother in law has. Check the label before using it. No fumes at all.

One year we made toffee in my sister's calphalon pan. It was non stick so we thought 'no problem!'. Well, it stuck and was burnt on. We tried the traditional 'put water on it and heat it until it bubbles and try to get the stuck on food off' and it didn't work.

We gave it to my future hubby to work on - figured it was a goner anyways....and a week later the pan was looking great! We thanked FH and forgot about it until my sister burnt another something into her calphalon pans. We asked (now the actual hubby) how he got it clean and here was his answer.

he took a razor - the kind that is about 2 inches long and used to go into the old fashioned re-useable razors and painstakingly used the sharp razor to lift off the burnt on part. It works - when things are really stuck that is what we use on all manner of pots.

Old fashioned and easy...
Put water in the pot covering all the stuck on food, add a squirt of dish soap (I use Palmolive, Use what you have) Put heat on low till starts to boil, turn off, let cool til the point that you are comfortable to put your hand in the water, should come off with minimal scrubbing, if not repeat with clean water and more dish soap.
Good Luck...

I love Bar Keeper's Friend but have never used it on nonstick surfaces. It works great on everything else so I would give it a cautious try.

Bar Keeper's Friend - it's awesome.

All Natural Solution!

Try pouring some baking soda into the bottom of the pan (its cheap...use at least half a box) Then pour in vinegar until it reaches the burn line. Let it sit overnight. Check the burn stuff in the morning, if it is still hangin on, let it sit all day. It should just come right off after overnight, but I have had them before where it took about a day and a half.
Mixing baking soda with dish soap makes a good scouring powder, but I don't think you want that here, just let it sit and do the work!

Good Luck!
