If you regularly cook your dinner using a frying pan, you know exactly how difficult it can be to clean it from burnt-on grease and food residue.
Don't be discouraged!
In this article you will find a simple, but at the same time effective way to combat this type of contamination. Among housewives it is known as the "5 drops" method.
How to use the 5 Drop Method
All that is required of you is to follow 5 simple steps in sequence.
1. The first task is to fill the frying pan with water. You don’t need to pour a lot of water – literally halfway to the bottom.

2. Agree, nothing complicated? The next step should not cause any difficulties either, as it involves adding vinegar to the pan.
To start the reaction, 5 drops of acid are enough.
3. Now turn on the stove and put the pot on medium heat. Wait until its contents boil.
At this time, the acid from the vinegar will begin to dissolve the carbon deposits, and the water vapor will help soften the fat.
4. When the water boils, carefully pour 1-2 tablespoons of soda into the pan.
Warning: this will result in a violent reaction accompanied by foaming. It is too early to remove the container being cleaned from the heat: let the mixture boil in it for a few more minutes.
5. Now all that's left to do is wait until the frying pan cools down a bit and gently rub the burnt areas with a sponge or soft brush.
As a result, the burnt fat will come off in a few minutes.
