The Simple Cleaning Solution
One of the most effective and budget-friendly options for tackling burnt cookware is baking soda. Known for its gentle abrasive properties and ability to help loosen stubborn food residue, baking soda has long been a favorite household cleaner.
How to Use Baking Soda
Follow these simple steps to help remove burnt residue:
- Sprinkle a generous layer of baking soda over the burnt area.
- Add enough hot water to cover the affected surface.
- Allow the mixture to sit for 15–30 minutes. For heavily burnt pans, you can let it soak longer.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer on the stove for several minutes if needed.
- Once the pan has cooled slightly, use a non-abrasive sponge or soft scrub brush to loosen the remaining residue.
- Rinse thoroughly and wash with regular dish soap.
For especially stubborn stains, repeating the process may produce better results than excessive scrubbing.
