How to Remove Burnt Food From an Enameled Ceramic Pot

Manufacturers of enameled ceramic pots claim they are scratch resistant, nontoxic, and safe for the dishwasher, oven, stove top, broiler, microwave and freezer. Since they are scratch resistant, metal utensils are safe to use to stir food while cooking in them, and you can use abrasive cleaning pads to clean them. This is good news when burnt food sticks to your enameled ceramic pot, as you may need to pull out abrasive cleaning pads and products to clean it completely.
