Brilio.net - When Teflon is often used, its appearance tends to change compared to when it was first purchased. If initially the entire surface was clean and shiny, over time the Teflon became dirty and covered in burnt crust. Moreover, the buttocks (bottom) are directly exposed to the stove fire.
Even though it gets dirty the fastest, unfortunately this part is often ignored. Some people only clean the inside of the Teflon. As a result, the burnt crust on the Teflon butt continues to build up.
Not only does it make it look dirty, the pile of burnt crust on the Teflon butt also risks damaging the cooking utensils, you know. Until finally, Teflon can't be used for cooking anymore, right?
As a solution, you can rub the bottom of the Teflon using a citrus solution. After rubbing for a while, the pile of burnt crust on the Teflon butt will peel off by itself.
But don't just use citrus, it turns out there are other cleaning agents that can be used to remove crust on Teflon butts. The method was demonstrated by TikTok user @dapuristrii.aw. Instead of using citrus, the netizen mixed toothpaste with one type of drink.

How to use Teflon so it doesn't stick.
Here are some steps for using Teflon to prevent it from sticking:
1. Teflon preparation.
Make sure the Teflon surface is clean before use. Clean with mild soap and warm water, then dry with a clean cloth.
2. Use oil or butter.
Before heating the Teflon, grease the surface with a little oil or butter. You can use an oil brush or tissue paper to spread the oil evenly on the Teflon surface.
3. Proper warm-up.
Heat the Teflon slowly and at a medium temperature. Don't heat it too high because this can damage the Teflon non-stick coating.
4. Use wooden or silicone cooking utensils.
When cooking on Teflon, avoid using cooking utensils made of metal or hard materials because they can damage the non-stick coating. Instead, use cooking utensils made of wood or silicon.
5. Do not use harsh washing tools.
After cooking, avoid using sponges or rough washing tools to clean Teflon. Use a soft sponge or rag with warm water and mild soap to remove food residue.
By following the steps above, you can use Teflon more effectively and extend its lifespan.
