it. No baking soda? Use a wet fabric softener sheet; it contains antistatic agents that
will loosen the bond between the food and the pot. Step 4. Wipe the pot with a sponge
or damp paper towel. Step 5. Food still stuck? Add more baking soda and water, and this time
boil the mixture in the pot for a few minutes. Let it cool, then wipe clean. Did you know
