While this isn’t a food recipe, here are a few care tips:
Use this cleaning method immediately after cooking for best results.
Store the pan in a dry place to prevent rusting.
Avoid steel wool, which can damage the surface of nonstick cookware.
Variations:
For very stubborn burns, let the baking soda and vinegar solution sit overnight.
You can also add a few drops of lemon juice for extra degreasing power and a fresh scent.
For stainless steel pans, boiling the water with vinegar and then adding baking soda can be more effective.
FAQ:
Q: Can I use this method on nonstick pans?
A: Yes, but avoid scrubbing too hard and use a soft sponge to protect the coating.
Q: Will this remove discoloration too?
A: It may lighten discoloration, but for full restoration, repeated use might be necessary.
Q: Is it safe for cast iron pans?
A: No. Avoid using vinegar on cast iron — it can damage the seasoning. Use coarse salt and oil instead.
