A kitchen condiment made this man's burnt pot sparkling clean!

Kitchens are the heart of any home.
It’s where we can have hearty meals or make late-night snacks.
But crucial to those experiences are well-maintained dishes and cookware that make preparing food easy and hassle-free.
Now, we all know the usual kitchen aids—vinegar, bi-carb soda, and, of course, the famous Pink Stuff—but did you know a condiment on your kitchen counter can work wonders in your pots and pans, too?
Social media personality Andy Orr recently stumbled across an unlikely solution to his cleaning conundrum.
‘So, I was washing the dishes tonight, [and] noticed this random clean mark on the pan. Turns out it was mayonnaise,’ Andy said.
To prove the theory, Andy conducted an overnight experiment. He left mayonnaise on half of the pot.
‘I'm going to cover it half in mayonnaise, leave it overnight, and see what happens,’ he said.
The next morning, the cleaning mayonnaise had turned into a 'weird' green colour, forming a shell over the debris.
Andy removed the green mayo, revealing a huge difference on each side of the pot, with the side with the mayo now clean. What could have happened?
The vinegar in the mayo caused a cleaning effect, as it’s corrosive on grease and grime. The consistency of mayo also allowed the vinegar to sit on the grime longer than vinegar.
Users online echoed the explanation in the video.
One said, ‘It’s the vinegar,’ while others suggested that Andy could try tomato sauce.
‘Ketchup does a better job, more vinegar in it!’ a user said.
However, not everyone was convinced by the video.
They said, ‘Just get a Brilo (steel wool pads) and some Pink Stuff, does the same job.’
