[header] How to clean a scorched pan [title] Fill the pan with warm water. [step] Take your dirty pan, and add enough water to cover all of the scorched areas. You should add a two to three inches of additional water to the pan because some of it will evaporate when you heat it. 
[substeps] Make sure to dry off the bottom of the pan after you're done filling it with water. You don't want to put it on the stove if there are drops of water that may fall onto the burner.
