Burning food

The other night the rice wasn’t done cooking, so i left it on the burner and didn’t put enough water in it.  Now i have a really burnt pot.  Actually, two.  The soup had water in it and did the same thing.  I looked up old fashion solution, lots, including bleach, burning it, and a fabric softener.  The one that seemed to work the best was baking powder and vinegar.  Now there should be some scientific method behind this, it may be that vinegar is corrosive, only slightly, but does the baking powder do? i mean besides neutralize the acidic vinegar.  Makes lots of fizing, just like the volcanoes you can make as a kid.

    I eventually got the pots clean. The baking powder alone did not do much. With only vinegar, it had a more powerful effect. I am concluding that it is the 5% acedic acid in the vinegar that was corroding the burnt food.
