Start by wetting the pot on the inside and dumping in a half-inch thick
layer of baking soda. Let it sit, undisturbed, overnight or for a day.
Rinse it out and see what comes with it.
A friend just made a mess of an All-Clad pan with some elderberry syrup
gunk and she cleaned it by repeatedly boiling water in it.
