Pan cleaning?
What's the best way to clean the burnt sap from the pan?
Vinegar and water. Heat and let it set overnight and scrub in the morning with a SS scrub pad.
I agree, except not with a SS scrub pad, that will scratch the pan. Use a non-metallic scrub pad or a copper one, that is softer than the SS. If you scratch the pan, cleaning will be needed more frequently from then on.
Dave Klish about 400 taps, down from much more. Will hold about the same for 2021

A piece of copper pipe with the pounded flat works good as a scraper.

Sounds like someone, not naming any names here, just became one of those true sugarmakers! Mainly elbow grease or mechanical tools if it really gets bad. BTDT. I have seen some bad ones. Hope the pan is still ok.
Keep boiling!
