3rd degree burns to my jam pan

I've rescued the odd pan, in fact they're never too far gone IMHO

You may try this "nette?method"

Take a couple of cans of cheap chopped tomatoes & a bottle of vinegar.( if it's a big pan add 3/4 pint of water too )

Mix together in said pan & bring to the boil.

Make a paper/foil

and lay on top of the liquid

Place pan with lid on in the oven on the lowest shelf/rack ( but not the oven base )

Cook at 150 for a good few hours.

Is said pan stainless steel or aluminium BTW ?

You and D-C are quick to give up! My jam pan has been with me a long time and I am not about to give up on it that readily!

A month - you say?

Blimey! :-S

Oh-kay LM, I do understand the emotional attachment to the jam pan. I have used simply fairy liquid (the green one, none of that other pomegranate and vanilla shite) in the past and a lot of hard graft with a brush.

Someone suggested hcl earlier, never tried using that but I do have some if you want to give that a go. Good luck x

And yes, I did snigger like a 14 year old schoolboy as I wrote that. Can't help it. This is the funniest thread for ages.

At last! A woman of tenacity and perseverance! *swoons*

Before coming on here, I did try boiling up vinegar (minus the toms) in pan - but nowt. Looks as though bio-powder might be the leader here, but thanks for tip(s) anyway Nette.

Muckers.

PS: it's steel, I think. Weighs a ton!

PS: I should tell you that my pan is not at all odd! The very inference!

*harrumphs*

As for you Lady Kat, to the naughty room you go...

Thanks for your offer BTW - hopefully I shouldn't need it x

My latest research on this subject is to use 1"-2" of cola in the pan. Bring to the boil and gently scrub with a long handled brush.

[Laddy Muck]

Tried cola, Doc...did nowt. But thanks.

[katie1997]

Hah, but what type of cola LM? :))

[Laddy Muck]

Haven't a clue...never buy it...someone left a large bottle of the stuff at our house. But, I think, it was "proper" cola. Used virtually the entire 2 litre bottle.

Remaining damage to pan proving very resilient...postponed blackberry picking :(.

[katie1997]

What about going back through the time and space continuuuuuuuuum thingy to the time before you got up that fateful day and decided to make jam?

Have you considered that?

Patience LM - the bio powder will work but may need 2 -3 more treatments as before (and don't be put off if it smells a little - that means it's working) keep the faith!

KTdigits - STOP watching Dr. Who/Torchwood/The Time Tunnel/Stargate/Quantum Leap etc., it is warping your mind.

Have you tried scouring while simmering with the non-bio? Requires a certain degree of heat proof hand covering, but once helped me save a pan I thought beyond redemption.

May have been entirely in my head, but there seemed to be a synergy in the simmering swirl that yielded results. Long handled brushes recommended.

[Annette Curtain]

I know...

Don a pair of ice skates, put on The Bolero

And dance, dance, dance ( in the pan )

Spin like a marionette and lo....the pan will shine for sure

[Frankito]

PM me ur postcode, I'm sending round a new pan before this drives me over the edge and back to reading random posts about bankers.

"Oi muckers, how's that fekkin pan doing "http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01367/ArseneWenger_1367348a.jpg

Nice pic of Arsene using his fingers to count how many goals his team have let in...

[Laddy Muck]

CHAMPIONES, CHAMPIONES,

OLE, OLE, OLE...

ooops...sorry...wrong thread...twas the picture of Arsene that confused me...tee hee

Yes the jam pan, thank you for your further comments. Still soaking with Ariel. Progress has slowed tremendously, but I shall not capitulate - yet! RosieH, if the situation does not materially improve by midnight tomorrow, I shall attempt your "trick" of scrubbing whilst simmering. Failing that, I'm digging out the ice-skating boots! But right now, it's time to continue with important celebrations...priorities guys, priorities...

CHAMPIONES, CHAMPIONES...

8 - 2, I MEAN, 8 fukking 2....

*sniggers*

[katie1997]

8-2 to what!?

Ariel vs the jam pan?

Update please LM. I am being serious now, no more of the double entendres, thank you very much. Do you need a new one or is there life left in the old one yet?

... and what about the jam pan? :))

[katie1997]

:))

I tried. And failed miserably...

Wonder whether LM is busy 'scrubbing' away as we type... :-S

[Huguenot]

I understand that there is a correlation between the activities of scrubbers and the state of their jam pans.

[Alan Medic]

A good scrubber will have a sparkling jam pan.
