Steamer is one of the kitchen utensils that is often used for cooking. Usually this type of pan is designed with a strainer in the middle. Well, this strainer functions as a stand for placing food ingredients to be steamed.
When steaming, the amount of water used must be right so that the pan or even the strainer does not burn . This is because a burnt pan strainer can affect the performance of the steamer in cooking food. Burnt stains, which crust, tend to block the flow of steam, so that the steaming process becomes uneven. As a result, food is not cooked perfectly or takes longer to cook.

As reported by BrilioFood from Facebook Fitri Rahmawati on Monday (26/8), the kitchen ingredients in question are baking soda, vinegar, and dishwashing soap. Well, the method is, you can directly sprinkle baking soda directly onto the pan strainer. Then pour vinegar and dishwashing soap evenly. For maximum results, it is best to spread all the ingredients evenly over the entire burnt part of the strainer. After that, let it sit for approximately 15 minutes. If the crust is very thick and stubborn, you can let it sit longer.
