How To Clean The Inside Of A Kettle With Lemon Juice How to prevent your Le Creuset pan from burning on the bottom The worst looking pan in my collection is a small blue casserole dish. Despite being the worst for wear, it gets used nearly every day, and it is now over twenty years old. I bought it in France along with the larger one (now lost).I’ve done a lot of research to find the best option. However, several of the methods had warnings attached to them. i.e. doing ‘this’ could damage the enamel. If your pan still has its shiny enamel surface, I don’t recommend cleaning your pot with oven cleaner because it could dull the surface. It’s fine to use oven cleaner on the outside, but for the inside, you need a gentler solution. Try the hydrogen peroxide and baking soda method instead.

I’m not hugely concerned about the discolouring I have inside my pan. It cooks just as well as when I bought it, and it will probably stain again even if I did manage to get it clean. It’s curiosity really that is making me look for solutions. After I finished wiping, here is how the pot looked: After cleaning a Le Creuset pot with oven cleaner Whenever I embark on a cleaning job, I always prefer to start with the most natural, non-toxic and gentle methods first. When those don’t work, I move up to something more heavy-duty. When using under the grill, always allow at least a 6.5 cm (2 ½ inch) gap between the heat source and the top of your product. I expect that it won’t be the last time I will clean this particular pan. Next time, I’m going to skip the baking soda and hydrogen peroxide option. I’ll start with the oven cleaner because that got most of the staining off and then finish the job with some bleach.

Pour some hydrogen peroxide onto the bottom of your pan so that it covers the whole base up to about 1/2 an inch. Here, I have used a medium strength hydrogen peroxide (6%).

One of my pots has gone past the point of saving the enamel. The shiny inside disappeared long ago and now shows all the stains I’ve collected during the years of use. Baking Soda plus vinegar or lemon juice. Mix some baking soda and some vinegar or lemon juice to make a paste. Use it to scrub the inside of your pan. The worst pot-burning situation I have ever experienced occurred when I left the pot to cook on its own. You think you will be away only for a second, but before you know it, seconds have turned into minutes and your pot (and your food) is burning. Here is what I tried along with the results: Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide for cleaning the bottom of a le creuset pot I have several cast-iron pots in my kitchen, including a cast-iron skillet, and I love them all. I used to have a very large blue Le Creuset casserole dish. But when we moved home ten years ago, it never made it to the new house, and it is a mystery where it got to. I still lament the loss of it today!

For this, you can use your favourite oven cleaner. To be honest, I don’t use oven cleaner because my oven has a self-cleaning cycle. I had to buy some especially for this task, so I chose the most popular and cheapest one from Wilko. For US residents, I have heard that Easy Off oven cleaner is perfect for this job.
