How to Clean a Burned Glass Coffee Pot
Glass coffee pots require special care when cleaning due to the delicate nature of glass. If a pot has been burned, it is important to know how to clean it effectively without damaging it.
Step 1: Soak the Pot
Fill the pot with hot water, and add 1/4 cup of white vinegar. Allow the mixture to sit in the pot for up to an hour.
Step 2: Scrape Away Residue
Using a non-abrasive sponge, gently scrape away the burned on residue. Take care to avoid scratching the glass.
Step 3: Rinse and Dry
Rinse the pot thoroughly with hot water, and then allow it to air-dry or pat it dry with a lint-free cloth.
Tips for Preventing Future Burns
- Make sure water is simmering, not boiling when filling the pot. This will help avoid any burn marks.
- Fill the pot two-thirds of the way. This will prevent potential boil-overs.
- Prior to use, rinse the pot with hot water. This will help pre-warm it and ensure an even heat.
Following these instructions will help to keep your pot clean, and prevent future burns. With the proper care, your glass coffee pot can be enjoyed for years to come!
