How to Clean Burnt Food From a Casserole Dish

Burning a casserole has the potential to not only ruin your dinner, but damage your casserole dish as well. Depending on the type of food and the severity of the burn, it may take more than elbow grease to save your casserole dish. If you have already soaked and scrubbed the casserole dish to no avail, then consider a different approach by utilizing the cleaning power of items you already have in your pantry and laundry room.
