I don’t multi-task well. At least not in the kitchen, and probably not other places, either, but it’s most evident in the kitchen.
Now, since our family is an allergy family (which means I have to cook our food from scratch), I spend a lot of time writing my books from the kitchen table while food cooks on the stove. The theory behind this is that I’m close by to make sure things don’t burn…
I burn pots to black more often than I care to admit. The multi-tasking? Not so much.
Anyway, I came across this tip online for cleaning off blackened pots, and not only is it easy, but it works beautifully!
Put lemon juice or a chopped up lemon in the blackened pot and add water. Then stick it on the stove and boil for five minutes. Et, voila! Everything slides right off.
Sure saves the days and days of soaking and scouring that I’ve been used to. And I thought you might find it useful, too… You know, for those blackened pots you don’t admit to. 😉

I’m going to have to try this. I’m great at burning pots as well!!
Thanks for the reblog! 🙂 I was pretty excited when it worked, too.
Well, well, well – this will sure come in handy around this house!! Thanks.
Glad to know I’m not alone! 🙂
:-O I will *definitely* have to try this! I was able to finally purchase my first complete set of cookware for myself. (Although well into our 30’s, hubby and I live like frat guys.) I’m a fabulous cook, but even the best cooks have difficulty if their cookware is bad. I bought the Pioneer Woman non-stick cookware in Teal and I LOVE IT! It not only is truly non-stick, it cooks quickly and cleans SO EASILY. Anything that makes chores easier, I’m on board. (I was in no way endorsed or compensated in any way for this comment.)
LOL! I’m on the tail end of my thirties, and still haven’t bought a decent set of cookware. Hmm. Maybe I should do that…
