You probably have pots or pans full of stains in the kitchen. This is a normal consequence of continued use and the nature of the objects themselves, always in contact with foods capable of causing stains.
Contact with heat can set stains and make the residue that settles on their surfaces very difficult to remove. No matter how much you scrub or what type of detergent you use, some stains just won’t come off .
Here are 3 tricks to remove the most stubborn stains from pots and pans .
1. Detergent and Salt
This trick is one of the most effective and at the same time one of the least known. It is especially effective when you have accumulated grease on the surface of a pan.
Put a teaspoon of detergent on the grease stain. Make sure it is completely dry; water can make it harder to remove the stain
Sprinkle some fine salt on the detergent, then scrub with a dry sponge to remove the baked-on grease. Finally, rinse with plenty of water.
2. Baking Soda
Salt is excellent against grease, but baking soda is equally effective. The remedy we suggest below is effective for cleaning burnt or stained pots and pans after frying.
Mix two parts baking soda and one part rubbing alcohol until you get a well-mixed solution.
Scrub the solution onto the burnt area of the pan with a sponge, then rinse with plenty of water and dry immediately with a clean cloth.
3. Hand Soap
An unusual but effective ingredient can be used to remove baked-on grease and other residue from pots and pans.
Light a lighter and hold the stained part of the pan to the flame. This will help loosen the baked-on grease
After a few seconds, turn off the stove and apply a little hand soap, being careful not to burn yourself. Finally, scrub with a steel wool pad (or a regular sponge if it’s a non-stick pan).
Apply one of the tricks listed above to clean burnt pots and pans and make them look like new.
