Some rice burned on the bottom, and it won't get clean – Does anyone know how to get this out?

 The Question: 

 I hate to toss it, and not just because I'm cheap. Someone gave it to me when I got married, and I've had it so long, I don't want to part with it. I use it all the time. Any ideas?



What did people say?

⇒ Ashley: Bar keepers friend can get some crazy stuff off, use it with a good scour pad. You can boil dryer sheets in it and it’ll get a heck of a lot of it off too!

⇒ YOUNG: I use dawn power wash and a green scrubby pad with a lot of elbow grease. First spray the dawn and let sit for about 10 minutes, take the scrubber and scrub away, rinse and repeat. Eventually after 3 or 4 rounds I can get them clean.

I don’t like using the metal scrubbers like sos or steel wool etc because I find it scratches the pot.

⇒ Jen: Dryer sheets and water let the water boil it should come right off.

⇒ Meredith: Get SOS pads, my boyfriend bought some to scrub all of our pots/pans

⇒ Sarah: Happened to me recently and thought I was doomed. I didn’t have steel wool so I balled up tin foil and scrubbed baking soda with it. It worked!

⇒ Marcia: I’ve heard you can put dishwasher soap in it with a little water and bring to a low boil. The scrub when it cools. Good luck

⇒ Angela: Bar keepers friend.

⇒ Heather: Boil with baking soda. If not all comes out repeat but use salt instead of the soda. Rolling boil. Never had to do more than twice.

⇒ Elizabeth: Bar keepers friend. Make a thick paste with a little water and spread it all on the inside of the pot. Let it sit for 15 minutes. Then scrub it. You may have to do this twice.

⇒ Ann: Fill it with water about two inches then add a heap of baking soda and bring to a boil. Should be able to guide a pot scrub along the bottom with a wooden spoon after 20 minutes or so. Gently scrub til all loosened. Repeat if not all gone. I did this every week when I visited my 90+ mom. She was a busy gal and would leave the room and forget the pot!

⇒ Anne: Same thing happened to me so I scrubbed it with anything I had. Nothing worked to get it out so I keep using the pot and every time I scrub it off a little more. Eventually it will be gone.

I need to repurpose taco soup? What ideas do you have?

 The Question: We’ve already had it when I made it and once for leftovers. I know I could freeze it but I’d rather figure a way to use it up now. What did people say? ⇒ Abby: Mix in some rice, put it in a casserole dish with some cornbread mix on top and bake that sucker! ⇒ Jess: Add in dried pasta to cook and soak up the liquid. ⇒ Jenni: If it’s a cheese based taco soup you could use it for nachos (poured over) or cheese dip with chips snack for the weekend. ⇒ Teresa: Taco soup pie I do the same with leftover roast with vegetables.

What is your favorite credit card and why?

The Question: I’ll start. I like my GAP card. I buy whatever I want. I shop at the store 2 to 3 times a year when things are on sale, and most of my order ends up being free. I find their stuff fits well, is comfy and durable. What did people say? ⇒ Jessica: "Earn 1 Point for Every $1 Spent" spent outside of their stores doesn't seem too great to me unless I'm missing something? I get more with all my other cards, and I don't have to spend it at the gap. ⇒ Riley: Prime Visa for 5% back on Amazon purchases and 2% back at restaurants/gas stations, Amex Blue Cash for 3% back on groceries, Apple Card for 2% back on anything I can use Apple Pay for, Capital One Quicksilver for 1.5% back on everything that doesn’t fall into any of the other categories. Helps me always maximize my earnings and then I cash out all the points when I go on vacation so I don’t usually haha to pay while on vacation. ⇒ Jessica: I like my visa signature (pncbank) because it has 4% gas, 3%res...

Has anyone tried starching their jeans and does it help them to last longer or not get as dirty?

 The Question: Fellow girlfriends/wives of blue collar workers, or perhaps if you’re a blue collar person yourself: My boyfriend goes through work jeans so quickly as a trucker who does heavy hauls for a construction company. My question is, has anyone tried starching their jeans and does it help them to last longer or not get as dirty? He wears through them most quickly on the knees and butt. His job does provide work jeans, but not enough for a weeks rotation.  TIA for any advice! What did people say? ⇒ Kenna: Get dickies! They’re thick work jeans. They lasted longer for my husband than Carhartt, and half the price. ⇒ Morgan: As someone who is also a blue collar worker with a partner in the same field. I wear wranglers and Ariats when I can get them. In the winter leggings under insulated carhartt coveralls My boyfriend gets Costco jeans. ⇒ Jessica: If you have a label shopper or similar store near you you might be able to find "name brand" jeans for cheaper.
