What to do if a thick layer of carbon has formed on the frying pan: a simple trick to simplify cleaning of dishes

When frying food, traces of fat remain in the pan.

Washing with standard products (powders or gels) does not always help to completely remove such contaminants.

Often, dirt remains on the dishes and becomes embedded in them.

The fat then burns, forming a black layer, the thickness of which increases over time.

Each time, the frying pan becomes more and more difficult to use for cooking.

However, you can even get rid of many years of carbon deposits from your dishes. To do this, you need to use one trick.

The essence of the life hack

A heavily soiled frying pan should be sprinkled with baking soda .

Immediately after this, plain water should be poured into the container.

The filled device should be left alone for several hours.

It is good if the procedure was performed in the evening. In this case, you can return to cleaning the dishes early in the morning.

Due to the prolonged effect of the soda solution, the carbon deposits will soften.

The black layer will literally start to fall off in pieces: to do this, it will be enough to just “go over” the frying pan with a kitchen sponge.

Wash the “treated” dishes in the standard way, and you will see how the device becomes perfectly clean.
