How to Clean a Burnt Pan or a Saucepan & Make It Like New

 

Cover the burnt area with baking soda and add water to make a fine paste. Then, crumple up the piece of foil and start to scrub the burnt area until clean.

Then, rinse off the pan using warm water and dish soap.

The Benefits of Using Baking Soda & Aluminum Foil for Scrubbing Burnt Pans 

This method takes little time and effort, yet it’s simple and effective. You will have to scrub the pan, but with much less effort than you would need if you use a scouring pad. You won’t need to press too hard at all. Just scrub easily as you would scrub with a washcloth.

A great trick with the aluminum foil method is to move the foil ball around in circles or back and forth, whichever is easier for you.

This process may need to be repeated because the baking soda will get dirty and you may find it hard to see which areas need more scouring. This cleaning trick is great when you need to put a used piece of foil to work. For example, the foil piece you used to cover a dish that you baked.

Rather than recycling it or throwing it away, you can ball it up and preserve it for cleaning those scorched pots and pans. The same foil can be used for cleaning several pans.
