Brilio.net - Teflon is a cooking utensil that has many functions. Its uses are very diverse, ranging from frying, boiling, to sauting food ingredients. These advantages make Teflon a kitchen utensil that is in great demand on the market.
The non-stick design on Teflon is the main attraction for cooking enthusiasts. Food fried using Teflon will remain intact thanks to the special layer. The cooking process becomes more efficient and practical by using Teflon.
Teflon care requires special attention because of the non-stick layer. Cleaning burnt spots on Teflon cannot be done by scrubbing like a regular pan. Using wire wool to clean Teflon can damage the non-stick layer until it peels off.
To avoid this, most people usually soak the Teflon for a long time. Soaking the Teflon will soften the burnt food and make it easy to clean. But it takes hours for the burnt stains to soften.
Luckily, a YouTube netizen named Ayu Eka once shared another way. In one of her uploads, she explained a more effective, safe, and fast way to clean burnt food on Teflon . The burnt stains had become crusty and hard, making it difficult to clean if only soaked.
"When we soak it, it takes a long time and sometimes we still can't peel it all off, right?" explained YouTube Ayu Eka, quoted by BrilioFood on Friday (15/11).
Therefore, the owner of the YouTube account Ayu Eka chose to boil water in a teflon. So, pour water into the teflon that has been placed on the stove. It can be cold water or hot water. Then turn on the heat and boil until the water boils.

Once the water starts to heat up or steam, scrape off the burnt parts with a wooden spatula. Avoid using a metal or stainless steel spatula as these materials can potentially scratch the non-stick coating. Just scrub gently to avoid scratching the Teflon.

The hot water condition can help soften burnt and crusty food. Because it is soft, the stain can be removed easily. Do this process until all the burnt stains are removed.
Once the burnt spots are clean and completely removed, turn off the stove. Discard the water that has been mixed with the burnt spots. Next, clean the Teflon with soap as usual. Don't forget to use a soft sponge to be safer.
