Dirty Talk

When my baked on enamel roaster pan gets "stuck on dirty", I simply put it in the oven on the cleaning cycle for about an hour. Then, after it's cooled, I put it in the sink and rinse and wipe it down. NO SCRUBBING! Saves lot's of time and elbow grease.

To the person asking about the enamel over iron pot, are you sure that it is stained and that your enamel hasn't worn to show the iron beneath it? One thing that I've found to get baked-on stains off is to soak the pot with only an inch or so of water and powder dishwasher detergent. That way it's super-concentrated and should break up any grease or baked-on badness.

Question : I have an cast iron with enamel pot that is very badly stained on the bottom (inside). I have tried scrubbing with coarse salt, soaking with dish soap, boiling with cream of tartar, and lots of elbow grease with just about every kind of scrubbing tool that I could find. If anyone knows of something that will remove very ugly stains from enamel please, please, please let me know. I would hate to have to throw the pan out!

i'm in need of some great advice! i have used cleaner after cleaner and i can't re-store my folks enamel bath back to white. i believe the stains to be water and grim, a build up over time. is there anyone out there that can help? if so, please feel free to email me on lushlad_35@hotmail.com. thank you
