HELP! I've scorched my le creuset pan!

[oregonianabroad]

any tips on getting rid of the black gunk on the bottom of the pan? thanks.

Is it a non stick or cream lined one. I've b^ggered a non stick saute pan

It's cream inside, enamel I think.

I soak mine then use 'wire wool' type pan scourer plus elbow grease.

Someone else recommended using salt water to scrub.

HTH

Try the fairy stuff in a green bottle and use a very gentle scourer

I posted on this over Christmas.
Tips included leaving to soak overnight in biological washing powder or a dishwasher tablet.
I used bicarbonate of soda, left to soak, time and elbow grease. I wouldn't say it looks like new but the black gunk has gone.
Good luck!

I use that cillit multi purpose cleaner stuff and one of those yellow sponges with the green scratchy but not too scratchy side. Admittedly it looks well loved le creuset

Thanks! dh is standing next to sink, sad look on his face -- he'll perk up when I tell him there are solutions!!

dh boils water with slices of lemon in it in such situations.
