use baking soda to remove burned food from pans

I have been using the same pans since 1994. Yes, they are old and scruffy, but we rub along well together. Last year I decided I needed to expand my pot and pan collection to get a few specialty pans (read single use and fairly expensive). Did specialty pans improve my recipes? Not really, in fact there was a pretty steep learning curve to using pans made from different materials than my old set. On the upside,  I got a lesson in how to remove burned food from pans! I used the method that Barb from Frugal {local} Kitchen details. Not that I think you all will ever be in this situation, but just in case…here is how to use baking soda to remove burned food from pans.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
