Iron brush is a tool that appears in almost all of our kitchens. It is a habit of many people to use an iron brush to scrub the burned residue at the bottom of pots and pans. But it’s time to give up this habit because the iron brush peels off the protective layer in the pan and scratches the pot. As a result, the “lifespan” of these utensils is significantly reduced.
In this article, we will share with you the secret of cleaning pots and pans thoroughly without using an iron brush.
1. Use lemon
You cut a small lemon (both yellow and green lemons are fine), and put it in the pot/pan that needs to be cleaned. Add some water and dish soap, bring the mixture to a boil for about 1 minute, then pour it out. At this point, you will see all the dirt and odor disappear completely, just rinse with water and the pot/pan will be clean and fragrant!
2. Use a washcloth
You pour about 200ml of water into the pot/pan that needs to be cleaned and bring it to a boil without adding dish soap. When the water in the pot/pan starts to boil, you throw in a washcloth. Use chopsticks to vigorously scrub the dirt and burned food residue.
Once the dirt is clean, you can wash the pot/pan again with dish soap and a sponge to remove any grease.
