If you accidentally bake a cake or any sugary foods that overflow and stick to the oven, sprinkle salt on the sticky part and wait for it to dry. Once the oven has cooled, you can easily scrape it off with a spoon.
3. Refrigerator:
To clean and refresh the inside of the refrigerator, sprinkle an equal amount of salt and baking soda on a damp sea sponge, then wipe the surfaces of the refrigerator one by one.
4. Stovetop:
Any dirt on the stovetop can be easily cleaned if it is sprinkled with salt beforehand. Salt will help remove food residue on the surface of the stovetop without causing damage or scratches if you wipe it gently and correctly.
Try mixing the following recipe if you accidentally burn your cooking and it creates a black residue on the stovetop:
– Mix salt and cinnamon in a 1:1 ratio, then wipe it clean after 5 minutes. The mixture will emit a pleasant smell and quickly eliminate any lingering odors.

Cooking utensils can also accumulate a lot of stubborn stains. However, don’t worry, salt is the spice that can make your cookware shine again.
1. Instant Pot
In this case, add boiling water and 3 tablespoons of salt to the pot, then soak the dishes until the water cools. After that, rinse them as usual.
2. Pots and pans:
Remove excess oil from the pan by sprinkling salt first. Then wipe the pan with a damp sponge or paper towel and wash as usual.
