Boil with a mixture of water and VInegar or Bicard. This may however still leave some marks which will require scrubbing to get the pot shiny again. Spare yourself the effort of remembering to swith the stive off and scrub the pot and soak the pot with bleach this should take a couple of hours dependant on how badly the pot has burnt. Depending on the degree of burn you may not need to do any scrubbing the following morning and all you need is to wash the pot with detergent to have is sparkling again.

Hi, put the pot on the stove with water to cover the burnt stuff. Heat the pot till water simmering, then take off and scrub and remove the excess burnt stuff. Repeat the process, adding a few drops of lux liquid and scrub and continue with the process till all burnt marks are cleaned off. Good luck.

Put a dishwasher tablet in the pot, fill with water and leave overnight. All the burnt stuff should come off easily in the morning! Worked on my stainless steel Le Creuset pot.

Get a bottle of the Le Creuset enameled cast iron cleaner from one of their stores.

You could try covering the bottom with bicarbonate of soda, then covering that with water. Bring to the boil and it should clean the burn off. If that does not work, try covering the bottom with fabric softener and water and bring to the boil. Good luck!

Sugar as an abrasive is gentle enough not to damage but works wonders when used with dish washing liquid.

Soak in hot soapy water for a few days, changing the water and scouring gently with a non-metal scouring pad. You can then also us a liquid scourer (like Handy Andy, not VIM) with the pad. The glaze at the bottom will never be like new but it won’t be burnt/black. I’ve burnt stew to the bottom of my big Le Creuset pot and managed to clean it as above. Helena

1 Tablespoon Baking soda and 100ml white vinegar. Put in pot and let it simmer a while about 4m-5 min or longer. Keep an eye on it as it can boil over. Let pot cool wipe out

If vinegar doesn’t work (it should) add baking powder as well. Leave it until the burnt areas begin to loosen.
