| If nothing better turns up, they had a plant in Rome, NY. You
could call there for a better lead.

| My son decided to cook himself some popcorn. His method was to put
about a 1/4 inch of oil in the bottom of the pan, dump in a half cup of
popcorn, turn the burner on and go back to watching television 'til the
next commercial. Needless to say, this not an effective method of
producing any sort of comestible. The bad news is, the pan in
question, the bottom half of our Revereware double boiler, is now
coated with charred, caked on residue that is resisting every known
combination of scouring pad and elbow grease.
Anybody know how I can restore this pan to a usable condition?

| It is nice to know that someone can something worse to a Revereware
double boiler than I did. I left it on high with no water in it for
about 1/2 hour.
Have you tried soaking it in very hot water with baking soda? If
nothing else works there is always the Revereware outlet in Fall River
Mass.
Good luck

| I've seen some suggestions to use oven cleaner. I haven't tried it
myself, though.

| We had this exact problem a long time ago. My mother boiled a 50/50
mixture of vinegar and water in the pan for 10-20 minutes. It worked
great!

Sheeesh. Sounds like a good idea, but the kitchen still reeks of
vinegar from making Easter eggs. Even my shirt smells of vinegar this
morning. :-(
Will try your suggestions. Thanks.

| Yeah, Dennis, the smell is awful for a couple of days, but it usually
works. When desperate (for a real mess!), I've used straight white
vinegar and it's difficult getting away from the odor, but it works!

| Hello,
You could try using a camping stove in the garden?
Or the barbecue if you got a gas one.Or ditch the pan and eat at mc d.
Only joking about the last bit,I wouldn't feed it to my mother-in-law.
Well maybe if I was feeling paticularly mean.

| Someone wrote into the local paper with a similar problem, and the answer
was published just this Sunday. Their recommendation was to coat the
bottom of the pan with mechanic's hand cleaner. They mentioned "Goop" and
"DL". Said to leave that in the pan for a couple of days, then wash it
out.
