This summer I bought myself a new graniteware-type stockpot to use for jelly making. Anyone who does multiple batches of jelly knows how much easier it is to make them 2 or 3 at a time, rather than 1 at a time. This pot also has really high sides, so no more boiling over!
So this past week I did about 30 half-pints of crabapple jelly (19 1/2 plain crab, and 10 1/2 cinnamon crab). I cleaned very carefully, but somehow after all was said and done, I have product scorched to the bottom of the pan. Here is what I've tried so far:
1. Boiling water to try to loosen it
2. Boiling soapy water
3. Boiling soapy vinegar water
After each, I used a scrubbie and a plastic scraper and no dice. I do not want to use SOS pads or other steel wool for fear of ruining the finish on the pot.
Any suggestions?

Put very hot water in pot , 2 inches above scorch line, add a 1/2 cup of oxyclean powder, let site over night, repeat if nessacary...This has worked for me everytime, usually the first time

Tina,
I wish I had known that after I scorched one with Plums :( Thanks for the tip.
I hope it works for you Ann!

I sprinkle a thick layer of baking soda on stuff that is burnt to the pan, and I've had some bad ones. I wet the pan first then sprinkle the baking soda and let it sit. Sometimes takes a couple trys but does come off and I only use my dishcloth to wipe and scrub.
Give thanks to yourself everyday for all the wonderful things you do! |

Excellent suggestions ladies! And in the nick of time, too. We've got peaches to do this week, and I plan on using that pan to do the blanching, and then the peach pit jelly making.
