Brilio.net - Vintage frying pans or old pans are often the main choice in the kitchen thanks to the quality of the material and its durability. However, with continuous use, these pans often face the problem of crust and burnt on the bottom. This problem not only makes the pan look dirty, but can also affect its function in cooking. The buildup of crust and burnt can reduce heat efficiency and even affect the taste of the food.
Crust and burnt on the pan are usually caused by food and oil residue that burns and sticks every time the pan is used. This process occurs gradually and is almost invisible at first, but over time, this crust layer thickens and is difficult to clean. If not handled properly, this crust can become a breeding ground for bacteria and affect the quality of the food cooked in it. In addition, thick crust can also cause uneven heat distribution, making food not cooked perfectly.
To solve this problem, it is important to clean the pan thoroughly. However, if the crust is too thick, some special ingredients are needed to clean it. Usually, some people will use vinegar to clean the stubborn crust.
But if the stock of vinegar in the kitchen is running out, you can use other ingredients, like those used by YouTube user IDE KREATIF CHANNEL. Through one of the videos uploaded, he admitted to only using simple ingredients . These ingredients can be easily found in the kitchen, you know.

As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube IDE KREATIF CHANNEL on Tuesday (12/17), the kitchen ingredients in question are lime, baking soda, and dish soap. Well, how to use it, you can directly cut the lime and squeeze the juice. Then put the lime juice and skin into a bowl filled with clean water.
Next, add baking soda and dish soap to taste. Once done, stir all the ingredients until they are completely mixed. After that, pour it directly onto the bottom of the burnt pan. Then for maximum results, let it sit for about 10 minutes.

If so, immediately rub the bottom of the pan using a wire brush. If the burnt stain is too thick, you can use soft sand.
The method is to mix the sand with the cleaning agent. Then apply it to the bottom of the pan. After that, scrub again using a wire brush until the burnt crust is completely lifted. Do this process until all the black burnt crust is gone.

Next, rinse the old-school pan under running water. If there is still crust, scrub it again with the sand and cleaner. Then rinse thoroughly. Who would have thought, the crust that previously looked really thick, began to lift and the original color of the pan became more visible.
