The Problem with Burnt Cookware
Burnt food can feel impossible to clean, especially on non-stick pans where harsh scrubbing risks damage.
Over time, residue buildup dulls your cookware and affects how well it performs.
The Secret Ingredient
Baking soda is the gentle, natural solution. When heated with water, it forms a light abrasive paste
that loosens even the toughest burnt food without scratching.
How to Clean It
Fill the pan with water to cover the burnt area.
Add 2–3 tablespoons of baking soda.
Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for 10–15 minutes.
Let it cool slightly, then scrub with a soft sponge.
Rinse and dry completely.
Why It Works
Heat softens the residue while baking soda lifts it away—no steel wool, no chemicals, just clean cookware with minimal effort.
Extra Tips
Use wooden or silicone utensils to protect surfaces.
Keep cast iron seasoned.
Always dry pans fully to prevent rust.
Avoid
High heat that evaporates water too fast.
Abrasive pads that scratch finishes.
Quick Win
Home cooks love this method for its simplicity. In just minutes, your pans shine again—no scrubbing marathon required.
