Clean a burned pot

You forget to turn off the stove or get distracted while cooking. It happens. Unfortunately, the victim of this oversight is your pot or pan. It’s a burned, stinky mess, but it is salvageable. Here’s a tip from Reader’s Digest: Scrape out as much food as you can and then fill the pan a quarter full with water. Pour in a half cup of baking soda and bring the water to a boil. Turn it off and let it sit overnight. In the morning, you can clean off the black gunk with ease.
