How to Clean a Burnt Frying Pan

1. You need to fill it with water to cover the bottom and burnt areas.

2. Then add 250 milliliters of table vinegar (or 1:1) and bring the solution to a boil. Leave the water to boil for 10 minutes.

3. Now remove the pan from the heat and add baking soda (2 tablespoons), stir, bring to a boil and leave to boil again for 10 minutes.

4. Wait until the reaction of soda and vinegar is finished, and you can turn off the heat, cover the pan with a lid and wait for the water to cool.

5. Then all that remains is to drain the water, remove any remaining food and wash the pan with soap and hot water.

The best way to remove dirt is with the hard side of a sponge, a plastic mesh or a dish brush. The remains can be removed with a paste of baking soda and a few drops of water.

Apply the mixture to the stained areas and leave for 10-15 minutes.

It is possible that after cleaning you will have to heat the pan with salt, and then treat it with vegetable oil so that nothing sticks to it in the future.
