By Sue G 22 Jun 2012 08:22	Burn't jam pan Any ideas how i can clean my jam saucepan, Made apricot jam on wednesday and it hadn't set, so re boiled it yesterday, only left it for two minutes to see who was at the gate and it caught right in the middle. Left it soaking over night, but still a thick black mess stuck to the bottom. Any idea on what to use to remove it thanks Reply Quote
