# How to Remove Burnt Spots on Pots & Pans
Pots and pans are designed to withstand high temperatures, but nevertheless they are susceptible to burn and scorch marks just like more fragile objects. These marks usually don't interfere with cooking, but they do interfere with the overall look of the pan.
