Take a moment and check out the following tips to clean your burnt stainless steel pot!
1. Use dishwashing liquid
A simpler way for those who don’t want to be complicated is to use dishwashing liquid in the house to deal with burns and dirt.
You just need to place the pot you want to clean on the stove and add dishwashing liquid and a little water, heat it for about 10 minutes. Then, wait for the water to cool and use a specialized aluminum scouring pad or iron brush to scrub away the black burns.
2. Use aluminum scouring pad
While cooking, if you notice that the pot is sticking, wait for the utensil to cool slightly and then immediately soak it in cold water for 2-3 hours to soften the burnt layers.
Then use an aluminum scouring pad to scrub vigorously on the burned area until it is completely clean, then rinse thoroughly with dishwashing liquid. However, this method is only suitable for fresh burns, and for heavily burned or rusted stainless steel utensils, aluminum scouring pad should not be used.
3. Use salt
You just need to add 2-3 tablespoons of salt, dissolve in water, and use a pot scrubber to clean.
Or pour hot water and mix with salt, soak for 1-2 hours or overnight, guaranteeing that your pot will be clean like new!
4. Use tomato sauce
You probably wouldn’t expect that the tomato sauce that you often eat can be used to handle burnt pots, right?
This method is extremely simple, all you need to do is pour tomato sauce on the surface of the burnt area and soak for 30 minutes to 1 hour, then use a pot scrubber to clean. Afterward, rinse again with dishwashing liquid as usual.
5. Use baking soda
You sprinkle a layer of baking soda on the burned surface and soak for 3-8 hours, depending on whether the burns are fresh or long-lasting. Then, rinse again with dishwashing liquid.
In addition, you can mix dishwashing liquid with baking soda, add a little water, heat it over medium heat for about 5 minutes, then turn off the heat.
While the mixture starts to cool, you will see the burned layers flake off, at this point, just use a pot scrubber or scouring pad to clean and rinse with water.
6. Use vinegar
You boil about 3-4 tablespoons of vinegar and a sufficient amount of water in the pot with burns. Wait for the water to cool and you can proceed to scrub. Then, rinse again with dishwashing liquid to eliminate the vinegar’s strong smell.
7. Use fresh lemons
You use about 3-5 lemons, cut them into quarters, and put them in the pot that needs to be treated. Pour water to cover the lemon slices and then put it on the stove, boil it for about 30 minutes until the water boils and foams start to form, then turn off the heat.
Next, empty the water and lemon slices and use a pot scrubber to scrub the burned areas, then rinse again with dishwashing liquid. You will definitely be surprised by how “brand new” it looks!
