Thrifty Thursday: Dansk Kobenstyle Vintage Pot
My most recent thrift score is this lovely Dansk Kobenstyle Vintage Enamelware Pot in red.
I paid $4 for this little beauty. While it’s in poor condition to use for cooking, it’s perfect for
display and even to use for storage of some sort. I seem to always have lots of small items
floating around that could use a pretty little home like this.
Does you have any tips for cleaning up the inside of the pot? Is there some way to
restore it?
If you’d like more information on this style of vintage enamelware, check out this post over
at The Kitchn.
Tomorrow is Foodie Friday and it’s going to be a good one!

If you try to clean the inside with a powder product called “Bar Keepers Friend” it should get rid of the stains without scratching. I have this pot and use this product, only for the inside of the pot.
You can get in at the store near the Ajax cleanser.

Did you ever get this clean? I just found one in the same condition.

I was able to get it pretty clean, but not perfect. I simmer water with baking soda inside the pot. Scraped off much of the icky stuff, but the scratches are pretty bad.

I had a yellow one in bad shape and what worked like a charm for me was dishwashing detergent left in it with water overnight then a nylon scrubby.

I just tried the Bar Keepers method and it worked perfectly. Thank you for the tip.
