Thank you AP Chemistry

If you ever leave your hummingbird nectar - because you are the queen of hummingbirds, to whose feeder hummingbirds flock like pilgrims - boiling for like two hours while you sit in your office doing heinous work which you are professional enough not to name, and the alarm company calls to see if you are being consumed in a house fire, and the hummingbird nectar is now a hardened lava mass in your expensive saucepan, do not fear. Scrape out most of it, and then boil a mixture of baking soda and water. You will watch as the hopelessly hardened tar-like mass flakes off as if by magic.You will watch the black flakes form the image of the Virgin Mary, Jesus, and Lance Armstrong, one after the other. And you will thank your kid who told you to try this rather than to follow the bad Google advice which says to boil hydrogen peroxide, because while it may work, it may also explode, or catch on fire. You only have to nod and smile when the kid starts talking about carbon and oxygen and so on.

I know I've never started a sentence with the phrase: "If you ever leave you hummingbird nectar ..." I'm so impressed! Impressed by the dilemma, and the solution.

I'll bet those hummingbirds rarely give much thought to all the trouble that goes into their care and feeding.

But I agree, the hummingbirds are definitely worth the trouble.

Bravo!!! I probably would have beat the pan on the sidewalk and when the goo didn't dislodge, I would have thrown the pan away. This is why I don't shop at Williams Sonoma.
