METHOD TO RESTORE A BURNT PAN<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients
Baking soda
White vinegar
Dish soap
Hot water
Steel wool or abrasive sponge
Paper towels or cloth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Remove loose residue
    Scrape off any loose burnt food from the bottom of the pan using a spoon or spatula.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Apply baking soda
    Cover the entire burnt area generously with baking soda. Make sure it forms a thick layer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Add vinegar
    Slowly pour white vinegar over the baking soda. It will fizz. Let this reaction work for 10 to 15 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Add hot water
    Pour hot water over the pan until the bottom is submerged. Let it soak for 30 to 60 minutes. For extreme burns, leave it overnight.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Scrub
    Use steel wool or a rough sponge to scrub in circular motions. Apply firm pressure. Add more baking soda if needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Wash with dish soap
    Rinse the pan, then wash thoroughly with dish soap and warm water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Dry and polish
    Dry immediately with a cloth. If desired, lightly rub a drop of cooking oil on the bottom to restore shine.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Extra strong option (for very thick burns)
    Mix baking soda with a little dish soap to make a paste
    Spread it on the pan
    Cover with paper towels soaked in vinegar
    Leave for 1\u20132 hours
    Scrub and rinse<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Result
    The burnt black layer lifts off, revealing clean metal underneath, just like the final image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you want, I can also give a no-scrub method<\/strong>, a natural-only method<\/strong>, or a method for non-stick or cast iron pans<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
