How to Get Burnt Marks Off Nonstick Cookware

Nonstick cookware will shed most food stains easily. But time and overheating can create a buildup of dark residue that stains nonstick surfaces. There are a number of expensive, brand name cleaners available that claim to be the best option. But you can save money and stay green by using less expensive household products that you already have in your kitchen.

Wooden or nylon spoon
2 tbsp. baking soda
½ cup distilled white vinegar
1 cup water
Non-metallic kitchen scrubbing pad

  Mix water, vinegar and baking soda gently in the stained pan with the spoon. Take care not to scrub the surface of the pan.
