Sprinkle baking soda generously over the burnt surface of the pan.
Add white vinegar slowly — it will fizz and help lift the burnt residue.
Let it sit for 15–30 minutes to break down the charred layer.
Scrub the pan with a sponge or brush. Add a bit of warm water to loosen the grime.
For stubborn burns, fill the pan with water and add vinegar, then bring it to a boil for 5 minutes.
After boiling, remove from heat and scrub again with baking soda.
Serving and storage tips:
Repeat the process for very tough stains.
Do not use steel wool on nonstick surfaces to avoid damage.
Dry the pan thoroughly after cleaning to avoid rust.
Variations:
Replace baking soda with coarse sea salt for extra scrubbing power.
Use lemon juice instead of vinegar for a fresh scent.
Add a drop of dish soap to the hot water for added grease removal.
