So I made dolsot bibimbap the other night. (You heat a stoneware bowl in the oven then throw rice in the bowl then put the bowl on a burner (mine's electric) for about 10 minutes to crisp up the rice.). Now it burned in several tiny spots on the pan and I can not get it clean. I've tried boiling water in the pot for 15 minutes, using steel wool (which it says you're not supposed to do ), scrubbing for 10 minutes, even some power wash. Any tips?

This was all new to me but I saw quite a bit of advice online which included.

Soaking
Baking soda and vinegar.
Rock salt, as a mild abrasive.

I’m wondering if discoloration is normal and will eventually even out with age and use or maybe I just have low standards when it comes to scrubbing pots.

Good luck!

I'm wondering that, too. A really good, old, well seasoned wok doesn't look pretty, but is cherished by cooks/chefs who use woks a lot.

If that is glazed I would not use steel wool as per they've said. But if it is glazed why not try Aunt Bea's trick with a plastic square closure from a bread bag. Soak as others have said then use the plastic to try and scrape it away. If that doesn't work - don't worry about it. Life goes on. It's not going to change the taste of anything.
