Mary Beth Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Ouch!! What have you tried?? Have you tried putting a drop of dishwashing liquid and some water in it and simmering it on the stove? That works sometimes....Baking soda is always good, and doesn\'t hurt the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sams Mom Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I feel your pain. DH made breakfast for inlaws Saturday. I thought it was impossible to create charcoal in a teflon pan. He never ceases to amaze me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eswindy Posted June 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I have not tried that. Its worth a shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsequilter Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 When I have this problem it is usually solved by soaking in the water with the soap made to put in your dishwasher . Give it a try - can\'t hurt. Good luck on your salvage efforts, Linda Esenbock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Awwww girls! C\'mon now... Lighten up on your husbands a little bit!!!!!!! Sure, it was a teflon pan and it maybe got ruined....maybe you can resurrect it with a good soaking...ok so what!, And...yah, sure...maybe breakfast or dinner was a little crispier than what we\'re used to eating... but I gotta pipe in and say "Kudos!" to the guys who stepped up to the stove to help cook a meal. Give \'em a hug for their efforts. Aren\'t they sweet for trying? New Teflon pan at Kmart: $19.95 Drop of dishwashing soap for soaking burnt stuff off: 3 cents Husband that tries to help: $Priceless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QUILTERCAC Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 My hubby washed and dried a wool sweater I had. Needless to say, I don\'t wear it anymore . Anyway, I told him I wanted to save the wool so I could use it in a project. He said "heck no, I don\'t want it laughing at me every time I look at it!" He\'s a gem and wouldn\'t trade his help for anything!! Cathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Gamez Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 My DH is not allowed to make dinner EVER. He likes to be "creative" with flavors and we end up eating more cheese on top of things than the food itself. Once he decided to use our water kettle to boil milk....that\'s ruined along with the frying pans as well. I let him make lunch though...PBJ and grilled cheese on the Foreman.

Quilting Heidi Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 My hubby can make breakfast and he can cook a meal but it takes a long, long time so I usually have snacks that he doesn\'t know about! Try these two things to get the burnt stuff off - soak in hot, hot water with some dishwasher granules and let it soak over night. That usually will take it off and you\'ll have your frying pan back. 2nd - try plain old tomato soup. That will take all the crud off the bottom of your pans and it will probably take off the burnt stuff inside too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hey, I\'m not saying anything bad about my DH. He cooks, he does some canning (and I\'m not talkin about drinkin beer ), he cleans all the fish he catches and cooks it!! The only bad thing...he cannot find the trash can in the kitchen! It is right next to the refrigerator....but he can\'t find it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberta Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 If all else fails on your pan I have heard you can spray it with oven cleaner, let it set over night, and wipe it out the next morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBJ and grilled cheese --- Now that\'s quite a combination! I\'ve grilled PBJs before (yes---they are very yummy!) but I\'ve never grilled one with cheese before. Ha! (just teasing you, Jessica...

Bonnie Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Originally posted by jones3jm and we end up eating more cheese on top of things than the food itself. Our answer to nights like this are ketchup.....and I\'m the one who brings burn offerings to the table more than he does...he DOESN\'T cook....he opens cans. Has his favorite can opener that is just his own. I\'m with Shana...on this one...I would be upset yes if it was a Pampered chef pan, but it wouldn\'t be the end of the earth...he would just buy me another one.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eswindy Posted June 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Well the pan soaked all last night. This morning is dish soap. then 3 times boiling with soda water. Still stuck! I didn\'t think frying burgers in a teflon Pamper Chef pan would do so much damage. I asked my DH what he put on the burgers... Must be a secret, he didn\'t answer. But I am thinking he mixed the burgers with cheese and barbeque sauce and cooked them on High heat. Oh well guess I will scrap harder and have some teflon missing.:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Arrrgh! Those Pampered chef pans are pricey--but wonderful. Good luck-- a burned Teflon pan is not usually salvageable. I bet your DH had the best of intentions--maybe he needs his "own" special cookware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaR Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Drop or two of dish soap, a couple teaspoons of vinegar, some hot water, and lowest setting on burner for an hour or so.. Scrape with wood tool and repeat.. then elbow grease. Teflon pan, pitch it. just my experiences. RitaR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagecl Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 On the British show "How Clean is Your House". They use cola and heated it up then let it sit for a bit. Did wonders for this burnt pan...clean as a whistle. Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bless their hearts when they're helping, I never say anything.. just stand back and watch & do damage control later! My dh will eat ANYthing that I put between two pieces of bread and grill on the 'not a foreman' contact grill. add a little italian dressing, Call it a panini, and suddenly, it's gourmet! sammi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattyJo Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Just a word of caution re: oven cleaner....DH used it on an "Analon" fry pan and RUINED IT! It pitted the bottom so bad there was no salvaging it. That was about $75 down the drain. So try just a tiny bit in a tiny spot first - of course if you are about to throw it in the trash can anyway, go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
