Burnt the bottom of your pan during cooking? No need for hours of scrubbing. This tried-and-true baking soda method, tested in real kitchens, restores it like new with ease.
Simply cover the burnt area with baking soda, add hot water, and let it soak for 15 minutes. The grime lifts off effortlessly – watch how:
1. Cover the bottom of your pan generously with baking soda.
2. Pour very hot water into the pan to create a paste.
3. Let it soak for at least 15 minutes.
4. Gently rub with the non-scratchy side of a sponge.
5. Rinse thoroughly with hot water.
Your pan looks brand new – no traces of burnt residue left behind. The dirt loosens and wipes away with minimal effort.
This method works reliably on stainless steel, copper, cast iron, and even Tefal non-stick pans. Avoid using it on aluminum pans.
Baking soda excels at breaking down burnt-on grease and food residue. I've relied on this trick countless times in my own kitchen to tackle burnt milk stains or heavily soiled casserole dishes – it delivers consistent results.
For stubborn spots, repeat the process and let it soak overnight for even better outcomes.
