Clean Your Burnt Pan and Make It as Good as New in Two Minutes
We’ve all been there—you take your eyes off the stove for just a moment, and suddenly your favorite pan is burnt, blackened, and looks ruined. Don’t throw it away just yet! There’s a simple, fast, and chemical-free solution to restore your burnt pan to like-new condition—and it only takes two minutes.
Here’s how to clean even the toughest burnt-on mess and save your cookware without scrubbing for hours.
The Magic Combo: Baking Soda and Vinegar
This powerful natural duo is all you need. Baking soda works as a gentle abrasive and odor neutralizer, while vinegar reacts with the soda to break down the burn marks and loosen grime with a fizzy effect that does the hard work for you.
How to Clean a Burnt Pan in Just 2 Minutes
You’ll need:
- 2 tablespoons of baking soda
- 1/2 cup of white vinegar
- 1 cup of water
- A soft sponge or cloth
- (Optional) A few drops of dish soap for extra grease-cutting power
Steps:
- Pour water into the burnt pan until the bottom is fully covered.
- Add vinegar and bring it to a gentle boil on the stove.
- Remove from heat and immediately add baking soda. It will fizz and bubble.
- Let it sit for 1–2 minutes. The fizzing helps loosen burnt food and residue.
- Use a soft sponge to wipe away the loosened debris. It will come off easily with minimal effort.
- Rinse well and dry.
Your pan should now be shiny, smooth, and ready to cook again—without the use of harsh chemicals or steel wool!
For Extra-Stubborn Burns
If the burn is really baked in, make a thick paste of baking soda and water, spread it over the burnt area, and let it sit for 15–30 minutes. Then scrub gently with a sponge and rinse.
For stainless steel pans, you can also add a dash of lemon juice for extra shine and a pleasant smell.
Why This Method Works
- Safe for all cookware types (non-stick, stainless steel, cast iron—just be gentle with non-stick)
- Non-toxic and eco-friendly
- No heavy scrubbing or scratching
- Budget-friendly using common household ingredients
Say goodbye to throwing out pans or using harsh cleaning sprays!
