Burnt saucepans are a common problem in the kitchen, especially when sauces, milk, or sugar-based dishes stick to the bottom. Instead of replacing your Cookware, there are several effective ways to restore the shine and usability of your saucepan.
Fill the burnt pan with hot water and let it sit for at least an hour. This softens the burnt food residue and makes it easier to remove. For stubborn stains, leave the water overnight.
Sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda onto the damp surface. Add a little warm water to create a paste, then scrub gently with a non-abrasive sponge. Baking soda acts as a natural cleaner without scratching stainless steel.
Pour equal parts water and white vinegar into the saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil. The bubbling action loosens tough burnt layers. Once cooled, discard the liquid and wash with soap and water.
For eco-friendly cleaning, sprinkle coarse salt onto the burnt areas and rub with half a lemon. The acid in lemon combined with the abrasiveness of salt helps lift off burnt residue while leaving the pan smelling fresh.
Drop a dishwasher tablet into the saucepan, add hot water, and let it sit for 30 minutes. The cleaning agents in the tablet dissolve burnt-on stains effectively.
After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry immediately. For stainless steel pans, polish with a soft cloth to restore shine and prevent water spots.
