Many housewives like to cook food in an enamel saucepan: such a container does not have a negative effect on food.

The taste of food does not deteriorate. In addition, no hazardous substances enter thermally processed food products.

Enamel cookware has another advantage: it is easy to clean. But only if the pan is not burnt.

Unfortunately, any housewife can face the latter problem. It is enough to leave a saucepan on the stove unattended and remember about cooking too late.

Returning to the kitchen, the housewife will see that a thick layer of carbon deposits has formed on the bottom of the dishes.

How not to clean a saucepan

Do not under any circumstances try to remove contamination by wiping the surface with a metal sponge.

Using this device will almost certainly result in serious damage to the enamel coating.

What product should I use?

Citric acid will help save the dishes. Pour one small packet of this product into the container.

The lemon should be filled with a small amount of clean water.

The pan with all its contents must be placed on the stove and the burner turned on.

The citric acid solution should boil for several minutes. After this procedure, the container should be removed from the stove.

Once the liquid has cooled, you need to take a wooden spatula and use it to remove the carbon deposits. You need to act slowly and carefully.

The dishes, freed from plaque, should be rinsed with water and then washed in the usual way - using a soft sponge and dishwashing gel.
