Trying to cook cranberries in a non stick pot but forgot and left too long, so now I have burnt cranberries stuck to the pot. Any suggestions on how to clean this up without damaging the non stick surface?
My lane was just cleaned with a nice new/used 70 hp JD tractor with snowblower. Tractor is 2017 with 4wd, loader and nice heated cab and belongs to a neighbor.
 
After it cools down, maybe try filling the pot with water and let it sit over night, it might soften the
burnt cranberries enough to wipe them out.
 
Believe it or not put a dryer sheet in it and fill with hot water out of tap. by morning it will all but fall out of the pan.
 
Interesting on the dryer sheet. Hope to remember that for future use.

I have always made a paste of baking soda and water, then let it set overnight to loosen burnt on food... BUT not sure if that would be good for non-stick pans.
 
Put enough water in the pot to cover the crud, then bring to a boil. Let it boil for a few minutes, then shut off the burner and let it sit overnight.
 


Same as the toughest grunge on your tractor: Dollar store oven cleaner. dilute 50/50 with hot water. Give it an hour.
 
Most non stick pans all it takes is hot water. Dawn has came out with a spray that helps. If the pan has been scrubbed hard before it is no longer a non stick pan. I
think we are on the third set of non stick pans that was scrubbed with sos pads or such. If I can get to them first I heat water in the stuff and wipe them out with paper
towel. Old cleaning habits are hard to break. At least here.
 
Thanks for all the suggestions. I tried boiling soapy water and sit overnight, and then scrubbed with a plastic scrub pad. That got 80 percent of the crud off, so I repeated and got the last 20 percent. Thanks again.
