[Sca-cooks] Pottery cleaning question

[Terri Morgan]

All-right, I've hit the wall...

This last weekend I used an unglazed pot in a fire to cook chicken. The
person who loaded up the pot put the chicken breasts in before adding the
water (those of you who have clay-cooked know what's coming)... How the heck
do I get the chicken tissue OFF of the interior of the pot? It's been three
days of me soaking the thing and using my fingernail to scrape bits off of
it. A green scrubby doesn't work. Neither does a spoon's edge or a brillo
pad. I'm about ready to steal some of my husband's sandpaper except I fear
it might weaken the pot's wall.

Any suggestions? 

Oh - I've already tried using salt on it.
