Brilio.net - Pans that have been used repeatedly can experience a decline in quality, from their appearance turning dirty to the coating becoming thin. Usually, the bottom of the pan is the one whose layer quickly becomes thinner, because it is often exposed to stove fire. Over time, the bottom of the pan, which is already very thin, can develop holes and leak.

Before starting to patch, first grease the leaking pan with toothpaste, then smooth it with a clean cloth. Next, prepare 1 used packaging for flavoring made from aluminum. Yup, kitchen waste, namely used spice packaging or other things, is the main tool for patching this leaking pan.
"I use used packaging for flavorings, so it's cheap and without capital," said the owner of the YouTube account Ontoi Creative, quoted by BrilioFood on Friday (28/6).
The used packaging scissors make it round and larger in size than the leak source hole in the pan.

After that, attach the piece of flavoring packaging to the area of the pan that is leaking. Hold the edges with your fingers while burning the aluminum with a lighter. The fire from the match will help the aluminum packaging stick firmly and cover the leak in the pan.
