Soaking food starch off plates

[David D.]

I have found that no amount of soaking, with or without detergent, will
loosen microwave baked-on food starch from oatmeal or pasta. The
dishwasher also does not get it off. I need to resort to old fashioned
elbow grease.

Is there anything that helps for baked-on food starch?

Try soaking in a baking soda solution overnight.

Soak pot, dishes, utensils in cold water as soon as possible. A
nylon net scrubber helps.
