A Bride's Discovery
Dear Aunt Datsy, I am a very new bride and up till the time I was married had never cookedea thing in my life. I would like to tell you about one of my new precious aluminium saucepans. I was cooking apple dumplings and let them burn; for a week I scrubbed and cleaned it. Then one day I forgot to fill it up with water and left it dry on top of the stove. I used the oven that evening and the warmth must have done something to the pot, because when I came out next morning all the burn had flaked off the bottom of the pot, leaving me with a perfectly clean saucepan. It was
just wonderful.

You found out by accident a good old hint for a burnt aluminium saucepan"Let it stand on the stove, dry, and leave it. to get hot. The burnt part will soon turn into ashes. Leave the saucepan on the stove to get cool again, being very careful not to touch it while hot, or to stand it on anything cold,"
