Apart from frying pans, pans are one of the kitchen utensils that have many functions. Because of too frequent use, over time the quality of the pan decreases. Generally the color turns dirty and the bottom layer of the pan can become thin due to frequent exposure to stove fire. Over time, the pan can leak and develop holes.
So, when they find a leaking pan , quite a few people usually immediately buy aluminum foil tape to patch the pan. However, if you haven't had time to buy tape, the pan will end up stuck on the shelf and won't work. Some even throw it away on purpose and choose to buy a new pan. As a result, this pan that could have been repaired ended up being wasted.

Investigating the simple tool in question is a used toothpaste packet. Before starting to patch, you need to sand the hole in the pan using sandpaper. The goal is so that the patching material can stick very firmly to the pan.

Next, prepare used toothpaste packets. Cut the top and bottom sides then clean if there is still toothpaste left. Next, divide it into two parts and measure according to the size of the hole in the pan.

Make sure the size of the pot patch is bigger than the leak source hole in the pot. After that, heat the pan first. Turn on the fire, heat the leaking side of the hole until it is really hot. When it's hot, just stick the toothpaste packet into the pot hole. Then press the used toothpaste packet with the help of a spoon.

Once finished, heat the patched side of the pan. Repeat this patching process again so that the pot hole is really tight and strong. When it's hot, attach an old toothpaste packet of the same size. Press and smooth with a knife. As a result, the pan can be sealed and functional again. Try putting water in the pan, if there is no leak it means you have successfully practiced this method.
