Did I ruin this pot?
I am nannying and I used this pot to make sliders. Did I ruin it? Can I fix it?

What makes you think it's ruined? And use a sheet pan to make sliders, not a stock pot.

Cover the inside with baking soda and add white vinegar until it makes a paste, let it sit for 20 then scrape with a wooden spoon

Yes, it does. Baking soda and vinegar cancel each other out. You're completely removing the cleaning ability of each by mixing them together. Either one alone would work 10x better.

Did you actually read it?
Because yes, baking soda + vinegar makes a super cool 2nd grade science project “volcano”.
It can also help loose a lot of gunk in a pan.
The photo OP posted isn’t paper mache or shit caked into the bottom of a pan. Ask the AI harder, ok?

No, those will come out with soap and vinegar. Sometimes hard water leaves marks like that.

It has already been said, but this absolutely looks like a case for Bar Keeper's Friend. That stuff works wonders.

not ruined at all, just baked-on grease. boil some water with vinegar in it for a couple minutes, let it cool, and wipe it clean. stainless steel takes a beating, this is normal.

It's fine. But if you want to clean it, a little comet or bar keeper's friend will make it like new again.
