[quote=Anonymous]I know this is an old post, but I thought I’d share in case others have this problem. I turned on the wrong burner and melted a plastic spoon in my nice Made In stainless steel stock pot.

I read online to heat water with baking soda and use a wooden spoon to “just peel it right off”. That got some off, but not all, despite multiple rounds / attempts. I also read about trying a hairdryer, or nail polish remover, or magic eraser. None worked. I then read about W-D 40 combined with baking soda (as an abrasive) and someone commented they used olive oil instead of W-D 40. I tried olive oil and baking soda and scrubbed to no avail. But I then heated the olive oil to sizzling and used a wooden spoon to scrub and it came off! I plan to do some more rounds of cleaning and polishing, but it looks fine (except for the spot or two where I scratched it trying to chip it off with a knife). Obviously with plastic and hot oil there’s a risk of burning yourself - and I was glad I’d removed as much as I could already - but for the final stubborn pieces hot oil and baking soda was all I could get to work. (I then let it cool, scooped out the sludge with a paper towel and threw that away.). [/quote]
