Removing Meatball Stains

Image 3 of 5

Hello Reena,

I have a new Dutch oven that I used once for Italian meatball stew and after removing the contents, I was left with a thick, black, burnt stain on the bottom of the pot. It has been impossible to remove so far. What do you suggest I do?

Thanks,

Michelle

Dear Michelle,

Although I don't know what the Dutch oven is made of, I will assume that it is stainless steel. Soak the pan with dishwasher detergent and hot water and then scrub with a steel wool pad. Another option (and this is what I like to do) is to pour baking soda, dish soap and enough water to cover the bottom into the pot. Boil the contents for 5 minutes. Let sit just until cool enough to handle and scrub with an S.O.S pad.
