Using salt

Cleaning burnt pots and pans with salt is a common method. Simply sprinkle white salt into the pot and add a bit of vinegar, then soak for about 10-15 minutes. After that, gently scrub with a sponge and the burnt marks will come off. Then, pour a bit more vinegar and soak for another 10 to 15 minutes.

Using dishwashing liquid

When a pot or pan is burnt, you can use dishwashing liquid boiled on high heat. When the water boils, turn the heat down and let it simmer for 10 minutes, then turn off the stove and pour the dishwashing liquid out. After that, use a spoon to scrape off the burnt parts and gently brush with a steel scrub.

Using tomato sauce

When your pots and pans have burnt residue stuck on them, you can use a small trick by spreading tomato sauce evenly on the surfaces that are burnt, leave it on for about 30 minutes, and then use a dishcloth to clean off the dirt.

You will need 2 lemons, cut into thin slices and place them at the bottom of the burnt pot. Add a little water, bring it to a boil, lower the heat and use a spoon to press down on the lemon slices and gently push.

Using potatoes and salt

When potatoes are combined with salt, they create a compound that can quickly remove and clean burnt layers. Use a potato, sprinkle salt on the surface of the pot, and rub with the potato. Rub hard enough to erode the burnt marks and restore the surface to a clean and shiny state.
