Use baking soda and white vinegar in a 1:1 ratio, and heat the mixture on low heat for 15 minutes or until the liquid evaporates. Make sure to keep the heat very low.

Once done, turn off the heat and add a little cold water to the pot to loosen the baking soda residue at the bottom.

Next, use a soft sponge to gently scrub away the softened burnt areas. The burnt marks will easily come off without much effort, and you won’t risk damaging the bottom of the pot.

With just a few simple steps, your burnt pot will be "revived" and as clean as new!
