Let’s be real: sometimes, you just don’t have the energy. If the pot is warped from the heat, or the burnt layer is thicker than your thumb, it might be time to move on. Your peace of mind is worth more than a $20 pot.
But most of the time? You can fix it. You are officially a burnt-pot survivor. And now, you’ve got a clean pan and a story to tell. Next time you smell burning food, you won’t panic. You’ll just smile, grab the baking soda, and think: Bring it on, carbon.
