BAKING DISHES (Enamel, Ceramic or Glass): Soak in hot soapy water, then scour with salt or baking soda and rinse thoroughly.

POTS & PANS (Burned, & Crusted, on Foods): Soak or boil a solution of 2 tbsp baking soda per qt of water in each pan. Let stand until particles are loosened, then wash as usual. Use a mild or moderate abrasive if necessary.

STAINED NO-STICK COOKWARE: To remove stains from no-stick surfaces, pour a solution of 1 cup water, 2 tbsp baking soda and 1/2 cup chlorine bleach into the pan and simmer 5 to 10 minutes. Do not allow mixture to boil or to boil over the side of the pan. Wash in hot soapy water, rinse and dry. Apply a light coating of cooking oil. (Note: This formula may fade dark-colored surfaces.)
