If you’ve ever cooked anything, chances are really high you’ve burnt a pan or two in your life. For me, it seems to occur a little more than I’d like to admit. Hahaha. But I’ve got great news. Yes, you can save a badly burnt pot from being sent to the landfills. No, you do not need to use vinegar and baking soda nor any harsh chemicals to clean a burnt pot. You don’t even need to apply heat to clean the pots. All you will need is this simple powerful cleaning device: the Dremel Versa

Dremel Versa

The Dremel Versa is a cordless power scrubber for indoor and outdoor cleaning applications. It’s waterproof and has a growing number of drill-like attachments that can perform various cleaning applications, like effortlessly cleaning a badly burnt pot or saucepan.

Here’s What You’ll Need

• Dremel Versa

 

• Dremel Kitchen Scour Pads
• Dish Detergent

 

Here’s What You Do

1. Apply a little dish detergent and a small amount of water to the pot.

 

 

 

2. Using the Dremel Versa Power Cleaner with Dremel Kitchen Scour Pads slowly work around the burnt areas.  Don’t press too hard on the pot.  But gently work your way around the burnt area and you will slowly see the burnt areas removed. It’s kind of like magic. 

 

 

3.  You can also tackle the bottom of the pot. Flip the pot over and scrub the burnt spots off the bottom of the pot.  

 

It is just that simple. No vinegar & baking soda, nor harsh chemicals or heat. Rinse and dry.

 

The before and after really is remarkable. Before the Versa, I would have just tossed the pot and said I’ll do better next time. SMH.

Pot, Nonstick

Use Dremel Versa Power Cleaner Non-Scratch Replacement Pad attachment instead. You’ll get the same results. It’s a general-purpose scouring pad for tough jobs without scratching.

So if you find yourself with another burnt pan or pot and you ask yourself, ‘Is a burnt pan ruined? ‘ The answer is nope. A burnt pot can be saved, absolutely! All you need is the Dremel Versa cleaning tool with a scouring pad. Oh and just so you know it, I don’t even have to soak the pan.
