3 tricks to polish burnt pans and leave them looking like new

You’ve probably left  a pan on the stove  for a little longer than you should and then noticed the appearance of annoying stains. The continued use of  pots and pans  exposes them to the risk of stains that are more or less difficult to remove.

A little dish soap can even make the problem worse. Plus, excessive scrubbing to remove stains is likely to permanently damage our pan.

Fortunately, there are  natural tricks to remove the toughest stains from pots and pans  , even burnt stains.

1. Detergent

This little-known trick is very effective for making pans that have a lot of grease embedded in them and that do not come off with anything, like new.

Pour a teaspoon of detergent directly onto the grease, without adding water.

Pour a little salt over the detergent, covering the entire surface. Then use a dry sponge to remove all the grease effortlessly. Finally rinse with plenty of water.

2. Baking soda

If salt is great against grease, baking soda is even better. This remedy can be used both to remove grease and to recover burnt pans.

Mix two parts baking soda with 1 part alcohol until smooth.

Then rub the solution on the burnt part of the pan with a sponge, then rinse and finally dry well to avoid stains.

3. Hand soap

If the grease is very encrusted, you can try to remove it with the hand soap trick. Place the pan or saucepan on the stove for a few seconds, then remove it.

Carefully pour hand soap onto the grease stains, then scrub vigorously with a steel wool pad. This process should be repeated several times. If the pan is non-stick, replace the steel wool with a regular sponge.

Now that you know how to  salvage burnt pots and pans  and get rid of caked-on grease, you’ll think twice before throwing them away.
