How do I clean the pot if food has burnt on?

Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the bottom

Ensure sufficient cooking liquid is used, preheat the pot gently, and avoid excessively high heat. Use a wooden or silicone utensil for stirring.

Handles becoming warm

While designed to stay cool, prolonged exposure to very high heat or direct flame can cause handles to warm. Use oven mitts if necessary.

Discoloration on the stainless steel interior

This is often due to mineral deposits or slight overheating. A paste of baking soda and water can help remove light discoloration. Avoid prolonged contact with acidic foods.
