Burnt Saucepans - Pans and saucepans that have been burnt should never
be filled with soda and water, as this, although it removes the burnt portions,
also makes the saucepan liable to burn again. Instead of soda and water, fill
it with salt and water, and leave it till next day, when it should be placed on
the fire till the water slowly boils. The burnt particles will come off without
any difficulties and there will be no after effects.
