buffie Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Well so busy looking round the forum this morning I have burnt a pan of veggies House very smokey and wonder any ideas for removal. Opened windows Oh dear BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I can tell you what,it won't be as bad as the pan of 8 Bantam Eggs I boiled dry the other week That stank the house out for days Best thing is to get a through draught - open windows front & back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Oh dear, Buffs!! Try putting some saucers of bicarbonate of soda around the room as they'll hopefully absorb some of the smell. Open windows!! If you have problems with burned on veg in the pan, I've got a good tip with onions so just shout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 onion idea very much appreciated. I can see Mikey now BBxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 Bet I have baking powder but bicarb Kate fancy moving near me BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Put some cold water in the pan with a couple of onions with their skins on chopped in quarters. Bring it to the boil gently and simmer for around 10 minutes (don't let it boil dry ) then leave it to sit for a few hours - preferably overnight then empty and wash up. The burnt on stuff should just rub away. If not, repeat the process and hopefully that will do the trick . Find me a house up for sale with a big garden and you're on, Buffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 I can see it now, 8PM tonight..... M 'honey I'm home', 'oh my favorite 'burnt onions'.. B Oh it's just a little something I threw together, a recipe of Kate's BBxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 We have that recipe a lot in our house as I'm forever boiling pans dry . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 You both need a kitchen timer! A good way of getting burnt food off pans is a decent soak with some ecover biological washing powder. A very thorough rinse needed afterwards...as it is not "food grade". A soak with soda crystals is often enough too. Not on your alumnium pans though.

Mrs Frugal Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Yes, the biological washing powder's a good one too, Egluntine. I keep a box of Persil under the sink for soaking the oven trays in. Can't use it in the washing machine as I'm horribly allergic to it but it works wonders on burned on fat!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 ... or my top tip is cover the burnt bit in ketchup or mayonnaise and leave for several hours. It sort of softens it up and it should clean off quite easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I thought it was just the onion skins for burned pans Kate? - that's what i use anyway........ since I thought that was what you told me Chef's Candles from Lakeland would get rid of the burning smell Buffs.

Blackrocksrock Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Striking a match works in the loo for smells there but not sure if will work for the rest of the house - worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BERTIE MCSQUIRTY Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 pour cola into the pan leave for a couple of hours and then bring to the boil and simmer for about an hour - should be able to wipe it off after that. ketchup has a similar effect (but dont boil just leave it smeared on the pan) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 Thanks the pan is looking not so bad after onion attack earlier. There is a slight eau de smoky pong but it's fading. Could be far worse. BBX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Wow, some great tips there for burnt on pans. I'll have to remember to file away for future refernce because I'm dreadful at allowing things to burn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 ...anything to do with being on the forum Kate? - that's when I burn pans...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Eek!!! Close call there Pekins! I used to burn things all the time but im a little better now - food is only slightly grey instead of black and smoking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Things regularly get left in our Aga, and come out as carbon because you can't always smell it burn, so we play a game of 'What did that start off as?' baked potatoes are a favourite Karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 My excuse was my mod duties, Mikey doesn't quite see it that way I told him on the phone earlier and just said 'don't say anything' I've lit a nice candle so it's improving.
