There are no unsolvable problems in the kitchen. Every experienced housewife knows this.

To do this, you need to stock up on 150 grams of soda ash, 2 pieces of laundry soap, a little office glue. You should also prepare a grater and tongs.

In addition, there must be a large bucket or saucepan so that the pan that needs to be cleaned can fit into such a container.

Pour 6 liters of water into the container and put it on the fire. Add soap shavings, soda and glue. Mix the mixture and leave it for a while under the lid.

After 5-10 minutes, it is better to reduce the heat, and place the frying pan in a bucket or saucepan. After half an hour, you can turn it over so that the other side is processed as well.

It is desirable that the frying pan be completely covered with the soapy solution.

After half an hour, all that remains is to wash the pan with dishwashing liquid and rinse thoroughly. It is better to remove the hot object from the pan using tongs.
