The Magic Two Ingredients:
Baking Soda – Breaks down grease, removes burnt stains & polishes metal. White Vinegar (or Lemon Juice) – Dissolves grime & adds shine.
Step-by-Step Cleaning Method
Sprinkle baking soda generously on the bottom of the pot or pan.
Pour vinegar (or lemon juice) over the baking soda—let it fizz for 5 minutes.
Scrub with a sponge, brush, or crumpled aluminum foil (for extra cleaning power).
Rinse with warm water and wipe dry for a polished shine.
For extreme stains:
- Let the mixture sit for 15–30 minutes before scrubbing.
- Use coarse salt + baking soda for extra scrubbing power.
