🍳 Burnt Pan? Restore It to Shine in Just 2 Minutes with This Foolproof Method

By Vitia

We’ve all been there. One moment of distraction, and suddenly your favorite pan is covered in stubborn, burnt residue that seems impossible to remove. Scrubbing for hours? Harsh chemicals? No thank you.

This simple, natural method takes just 2 minutes—and it works like magic. Whether you’re dealing with scorched stainless steel, cast iron, or non-stick surfaces, this trick will help you restore your cookware to its original shine without damaging it.


🧼 What You’ll Need

  • 1 tablespoon of baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon of white vinegar
  • A few drops of dish soap
  • Hot water
  • A soft sponge or cloth

🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Sprinkle baking soda directly onto the burnt area of the pan.
  2. Add a few drops of dish soap and pour in just enough hot water to cover the residue.
  3. Add vinegar slowly—the mixture will fizz and begin to break down the burnt layer.
  4. Let it sit for 2 minutes.
  5. Use a soft sponge to gently scrub. You’ll be amazed at how easily the residue lifts off.

Repeat if needed for extremely stubborn spots. No harsh chemicals. No endless scrubbing. Just results.


🌿 Why This Method Works

  • Baking soda acts as a gentle abrasive and deodorizer
  • Vinegar breaks down grease and carbon buildup
  • Dish soap lifts oils and food particles
  • The reaction between vinegar and baking soda helps loosen residue quickly

This method is safe, eco-friendly, and budget-friendly. Plus, it saves your pans from being tossed out prematurely.
