A simple home trick to clean a burnt pan without scrubbing for hours

How to proceed?

1. Remove any easily removable residue

Start by emptying the pan and gently removing any pieces of food that come away easily.

Avoid scraping immediately with a metal object, especially if your pan has a non-stick coating.

2. Add water

Pour enough water into the pan to completely cover the burnt areas.

Then add a few drops of dishwashing liquid.

3. Heat it up

Place the saucepan over medium heat and let the water heat up for a few minutes.

The goal is not to let all the water evaporate, but to allow the heat to soften the encrusted deposits.

4. Add the baking soda

Remove the pan from the heat.

Next, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of baking soda .

Leave to act for approximately 15 to 30 minutes.

The residue usually begins to soften during this time.

5. Rub gently

Empty some of the water if necessary, then use a soft sponge to clean the bottom.

For the most stubborn stains, repeat the process rather than rubbing harshly.
