Scorching the bottom of pots and pans happens to the best of us but put down the scourer because we have found a much easier way to get rid of the black marks!

You will need:

• 2 tbsp baking soda
• 1 cup vinegar
• 1 cup of water

1. Fill the bottom of the pan so it is covered by a layer of water.
2. Add the vinegar
3. Bring the mixture to a boil.
4. Remove from heat and add baking soda.
5. Empty the pan and use a scourer as you normally would but the marks should come off a lot easier.

Note: if there are any particularly hard marks to remove than create a paste using baking soda and a few drops of water. Leave the paste on the marks for a few hours before rinsing again.
