How to Clean a Burnt Aluminum Teapot

Keeping your teapot on the stove for too long will cause the bottom and insides to burn. Burnt aluminum can ruin the teapot and will ruin the tea you brew in it if it's not cleaned. For this reason, clean the teapot as soon as it burns to try to salvage it. If the teapot was left burning on the stove for very long, it may be permanently damaged.
