The Magic Baking Soda Scrub: A Foolproof Way to Clean Burnt Pots and Pans

ADVERTISEMENT

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.
