You are at work, and you decide to wander over to the coffee pot and have a fresh cup. When you get there, you look at the pot, and OMG!…….. Someone left it on the burner near empty, and now it is just sludge! You don’t have access to all the cleaning supplies that you have at home, but you have got to clean this pot to get your caffeine fix!
Pull the pot off the burner and place on a towel to cool. While the pot it cooling locate some ice and some salt. Once the pot is thoroughly cool, fill the pot about a quarter full with ice and add a couple tablespoons of salt. WARNING: If the pot is still hot/warm when you add the ice, it could break. Swirl the ice/salt mixture in the pot. The ice and the salt act as a mild abrasive to clean the cooked on coffee and hard water stains.
After the ice partially melts and the water is stained a dark color, dump it out in the sink. Using a paper towel, wipe out the inside of the pot well and check to see if you need to repeat the process. Repeat until all the burned on coffee has been removed.

It is easier than you think to keep your wood utensils and salad sets looking like new.
After thoroughly washing the items, rub each item down with a piece of wax paper.
This will leave a thin coating of wax on the wood that will help protect it from drying out and absorbing liquids that you prepare or serve.
