The last thing a person desires after a fulfilling and delicious meal is to scrub the burned residues from the pots. The task turns incredibly tiring if left for too long or overnight. No matter how much dishwasher soap you pour or how many times you scrub the pan, such stains barely fade, seeming like a lost cause.
However, this does not mean one must throw the pan or the pot out, ruining their cookware sets. Instead, there are multiple ways to fight the grease without damaging the pots, using the most simple ingredients available in most kitchens.
Let us look at some kitchen tips and tricks to get rid of the most stubborn burned stains quickly and efficiently.
Use A Dryer Sheet
Many kitchen hacks include cleaning burnt fry pans with the help of a dryer sheet, and however bizarre the idea may appear, it works. The method only requires you to have one dryer sheet, hot water, and dish soap.
Method:
- Pour a couple of drops of liquid dish soap into the burnt pan.
- To the pan, add hot water (the water must not be steaming hot).
- Now, add a dryer sheet to the water and press it down completely such that it submerges under the water and onto the pan.
- Let the dryer sheet sit in the pan for about an hour.
- After the time is up, remove and discard the dryer sheet and rinse the pan under the tap water using dish soap and a scouring pad.
The method will flake and detach most of the burnt pieces from the pot. However, the efforts may vary depending on the type of pot and how burnt the stain is. One may even try using multiple dryer sheets or increase the quantity of dish soap for much effective cleaning.
Dishwashing Tablets And Washing Powder
Method
- Fill the pan with water and add detergent tablets and washing powder to it.
- Put the pan on the stove and let the water boil.
- Boil the solution for a minimum of ten minutes, and you will notice burnt parts lifting off from the bottom of the pan.
Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen Peroxide is a colorless liquid primarily known for its antiseptic properties. Its other uses include that of a bleaching agent, oxidizer, rocket fuel, etc. However, there are certain precautions a person needs to take while using hydrogen peroxide.
Precautions:
- Ensure the hydrogen peroxide you choose is a 3% solution readily available at several local drug stores.
- While storing, keep the hydrogen peroxide bottle in a dark place.
- Since inhaling and consuming hydrogen peroxide is harmful to health, ensure that you wear gloves and a face mask of good quality while using it. Also, keep the kids and pets, especially away from the kitchen and solution.
