We clean the pan

Even for the most advanced cases, when a kind of fried brew came out instead of soup, there are tools that can restore the material to its original state. Here are some of the methods that you will have to put into practice in order to clear a pan of burnt porridge or other food.

Method 1

Salt is the easiest and most affordable way to combat burning.

Important! Salt corrodes food residues well, but it is advisable to use this method immediately after a problem occurs.

What to do:

• We simply fill the burnt bottom with salt and leave it for several hours alone. After a couple of hours, we thoroughly wash the dishes, getting rid of the black burnout at the bottom.

Or the second option:

• We are preparing a salt solution - five tablespoons will be required per liter of water.
• Pour the finished solution into the pan, put on the fire and bring to a boil, in order to boil for forty minutes.
• During this time, all burnt food should move away from the walls and bottom of the dishes.

Method 2

Baking soda will help to remove not only internal soot, but also a little external. It will only be necessary to boil the entire vessel in a solution of soda. For this:

1. It is placed in a large container.
2. Add a soda solution prepared on the basis of half a kilo of soda to 5-6 liters of water.
3. Boil for about two hours.
4. After boiling, both pans should cool well so that they can be washed as usual.

Important! If there is no external damage, the procedure is repeated in the same way, only the solution is added inside the affected pan, and there is no additional capacity.

You can also try adding a little lemon juice to the soda and pour burnt places on this composition. After an hour, try removing dirt with a hard sponge. This is a particularly effective method for clearing a pan of burnt porridge.

Method 3

When asked how to clean a burnt out stainless steel pan, every good housewife will answer you with activated charcoal:

1. You will need two tablets of coal, which must be ground into powder.
2. Sprinkle them with a saucepan inside and add a little warm water.
3. After half an hour, the pan can be easily washed with an ordinary sponge.

Method 4

How to clean an aluminum pan? - A very common question, and here is a simple answer - a bow. You just need to boil it with a few drops ammonia in burnt dishes, and all burnt food and its remnants with soot will lag behind the walls and bottom by itself. It remains only to wash the pan in the usual way.

Method 5

Vinegar is a “cool” thing, it is very versatile in the household, and this case will not be an exception:

1. Pour vinegar into the bottom of the dishes in a small layer and leave it with the lid closed for a couple of hours.
2. Over the course of this time, simply wash the pan with conventional dishwashing detergents or liquid soap.
3. You can also wash the dishes with soapy water, which is prepared as follows: the soap is rubbed on a coarse grater and dissolved in a container of warm water.

All burnt pieces of food should be well cleaned and get off on their own.

Important! This method of cleaning using vinegar is especially desirable for aluminum pots, because it helps to get rid of not only the burning, but also to remove the resulting black spots.

Method 6

Such a straightforward product as whey will help to wash off the burn in an enameled pan from porridge, as well as in an aluminum and stainless pan:

1. Pour the serum into the pan, 1-2 cm above the level of the problem area and leave for 24 hours.
2. Next, drain the serum, wash the pan with detergent.

Important! Due to the various acids contained in the serum, the main pieces of burnt food should easily and without problems move away from the surface of the pan.
