    We were camping last weekend and it was raining, so we sat under the canopy over the picnic table roasting mallows with forks over a camp stove. My hubby decided to 'clean' the extra mallow off his fork by incinerating it, thus burning it onto the fork. Now we have a lumpy black fork. I'll try this and see if it helps. Thanks for sharing! - Natalie

    We do something similiar at our school. First we put in baking soda then add the vinegar and let this mixture sit a day. The pans are much easier to manage this way. We throw a lot less ruined equipment away.

    I thought I totally ruined a 60 year pot last night - You do not want to know what it looked like. So this morning, after is had way cooled and I was able to remove the stuck corn cobs - I poured vinegar enough to cover the bottom of the pan. I let it sit for half the day, and when I went to do the dishes later this afternoon, voila - the pan was sparkling, no need for brillo! And it realllllly realllly was bad, about the worse I have ever done! This is an amazing trick - organic to boot!

    Another thing I've taken to doing is to buy big aluminum bake trays from food supply stores when they are on sale. I use when I feed a crowd...I just recycle it when we finish and then I don't have to clean any icky baked on pans!

    This does work my mom taught me this one. Cascade dish washer gel works to brighten your whites it has gotten out stains in my whites that had been there for a few washings. But make sure the item is all white it will pull color out of clothes. I apply directly to the stain rub in then wash

    I've got a couple screwed up pans at the cabin that I can't blame on anyone else. I'll give the vinegar a try. Thanks.
