Brilio.net - Pots that are often used to boil water usually have a white crust on the inside. The texture is hard when the crust gets thicker. The cause of this white crust is due to limescale deposits from boiled water.
If you leave it like that, the lime on the walls of the pan will increasingly settle. As a result, the scale on the inside of the pan becomes increasingly difficult to clean. Even though it has been rubbed or scraped, the white crust remains firmly attached.
However, limescale can affect the quality of water boiled in this pot. If you experience a similar incident, you can copy the method for cleaning a pan shown by TikTok user @faridafr. In his video upload, he appears to show the appearance of the inside of his pan.

Knowing this, he immediately poured water until it submerged all parts of the pot. While heating it on the stove, he poured 1 bottle of vinegar into the pan. Stir then let stand until the cooking water boils.

After boiling, turn off the stove heat. Scrape the inside of the pan using a spoon. Because it has been boiled using a vinegar solution, the white crust is easy to remove. Once scraped, all the crust immediately falls off.

For maximum results, he then added enough baking soda to the pan. Then the inside of the pan is brushed using an old toothbrush. It appears that the cleaning solution produces small bubbles as a result of the reaction from mixing the vinegar and baking soda.

Once you have enough scrubbing, discard the cleaning solution. Then clean the pan using dish soap as usual. Finally, rinse the pan using running water. As a result, the initially thick white crust has been reduced to the maximum.
"Yes, the results are quite clean, yes," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok @faridafr on Tuesday (16/7).
