1. Wash the saucepan well in hot water and soda.

N. B. - All the black should be removed from the outside and bottom.

2. Soap the palm of one hand, or a brush, and rub the inside of the saucepan.

N. B. - In washing any greasy utensil, it is best, if possible, to use the hand instead of a flannel, as the latter retains the grease, and so keeps putting the grease on again, instead of rubbing it off.

3. Mix some sand and powdered soda together, and then dip the soaped hand or brush into it, and rub the inside of the saucepan until it is quite clean and bright.

4. Now rinse it in water and dry it with a cloth.

5. Clean the lid in the same way.

N. B. - A white enameled stewpan is cleansed in the same way. Great care should be taken to remove all the stains off the white enamel inside.

N. B. - Salt might be mixed with the sand, and used to remove the stains from the enamel.
