Stop Using An Iron Brush To Scrub Burnt Pans

2. Using Baking Soda and Vinegar

To enhance the cleaning power, combine baking soda with vinegar.

Step 1: Pour vinegar into the pan until it covers the bottom surface. Place the pan on the stove and bring it to a boil.
Step 2: Turn off the heat, then add baking soda to the pan. The mixture will fizz as the baking soda reacts with the vinegar.
Step 3: Let the fizzing stop and allow the vinegar to cool slightly.
Step 4: Pour out the liquid, then scrub the pan to remove any remaining residue.
3. Using Baking Soda and Lemon

Baking soda works well with lemon to create a powerful cleaning paste for burnt pans.

Step 1: Wet the pan and sprinkle baking soda over the surface.
Step 2: Cut a lemon in half and use it to scrub the pan, adding more baking soda as needed for friction. This method works well for burnt spots both inside and on the bottom of the pan.
