An unconventional but effective method involves using a potato and coarse salt. This 100% natural combination can dislodge stuck-on food without damaging the pan’s surface. Cut a potato in half, sprinkle coarse salt on the pan, and scrub in circular motions with the potato. Rinse off the debris, then coat the clean pan with a teaspoon of olive oil for protection.
Toothpaste for Burnt Pans
Toothpaste isn’t just for dental hygiene; it’s also useful for cleaning burnt pans. Apply regular toothpaste to the dirty pan and scrub with a kitchen sponge. Rinse under running water, and your pan will look as good as new.
These methods provide natural and effective solutions to clean and maintain your pans without resorting to harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
