Wow! OK i learn a new trick here.

[RRMummy]

i burnt my stainless steel pot... :oops: :oops: happily heat up my orh bee beh, then got distracted by gals... :oops: :oops:


Any kind souls here know how I can salvage my pot?

I thought I read somewhere that vinegar works, have tried but failed.. I guess my last resort is the steel brush? :idea:

Hi RRMummy,

1. You have to boil the vinegar in your burnt pot for an hour or so. It really stinks up the kitchen unless if you have a outside/wet kitchen.

2. If not, you can try boiling a can of coke/pepsi in your burnt pot.

3. Or you can try and boil a few spoonfuls of baking soda and water in your burnt pot.

For all 3 methods, after the mixture has cool, you need to use elbow grease (sorry no easier way) and a soft scouring pad (you don't want to scratch your lovely pot too much right?). NO STEEL BRUSHING!!!!!

Good luck, hope your burnt pot comes back (shiny) to life

Dear RRMummy, did it work?

[jon00]

Rust will come back no matter how hard you remove it unless you coat with a layer of anti-rust primer. I recently removed all rust on the dining chairs (4x) and table stand by sanding, and with vinegar. Applied primer and painted a new coat of silver paint. Lost the shine of chrome, but gives a new matt finishing. Took 2 days to do this.

[quote=\"LKVM\"]How to remove rust of the metal chairs? any one

TIA

hi, not tested but will using sandpaper to rub against the rusty areas help? vaguely remember this method, anyone can confirm? :oops:

It does but only for a short while. Need to sandpaper down and if possible, have a little coat of some thinner-like stuff (can't remember the name....oops!)[/quote]

Use a piece of charcoal and scrub the pot. It works.

Finally have the time to do up the cloves packs for the main gate, hall windows as well as the 24/7 opened kitchen windows..


Something to share..

I found something call Drain Net For Bath as I could not find the empty tea bags to contain the cloves..

Not bad as the drain nets costs only $2 for 35 pieces and holds the cloves and diffuses the scent of the spice too..

Just to share..

Hi Schweppes

I'm so sorry!!

In my excitement I have forgotten to share I got the drain nets from Daiso!!

In fact, its my HB whom got this idea and showed me the pack of drain nets while we were shopping there.. I couldn't find the tea bags to contain the cloves..

Yes, after tying up the cloves packs, wow, I can instantly smell the scent when I step into the kitchen.. Quite nice leh.. Reminds me of 'bak zhang'..
