Scorched Pan Remedy

I scorched the bottom of my stock pot last night.  Instead of scrubbing the bottom of the pot until my elbows hurt, I used  a little dish washer detergent. 
Here's how:

1. Cover the scorched area with dish washer detergent.  Make sure it is an enzyme based formula as chlorine detergents won't do the job.
2. Allow to sit for several hours or over night.
3. Wash pot by hand. 

You will be amazed how easily the scorched food washes away.
