Brilio.net - Pots come in various shapes and types that can be chosen according to your kitchen needs. However, over time, pots can change, such as discoloration or the appearance of burnt crust stains on the inside. Unfortunately, these stains are often difficult to clean.
Many people rely on baking soda or vinegar to remove burnt-on crust from their pans because both of these ingredients are able to produce carbon dioxide which helps loosen stains, as reported by livescience.com. However, if you don't have baking soda or vinegar, there are other methods that are no less effective!
A netizen named Yenny shared a simple trick to clean a burnt pan using two easy-to-find kitchen ingredients. This method is not only simple, but also produces a pan that is clean again without having to scrub too hard.
How to Clean Burnt Crust from Pans:
1. Pour enough hot water into the dirty pan.
2. Add a sufficient amount of dishwashing soap.
3. Stir until the soap is completely dissolved in the water.
4. Let it sit for approximately 1 hour so that the hot water and soap can help remove the burnt crust.
"Let it sit for about 1 hour," explained Yenny in a video uploaded via TikTok @bukyenny, quoted by BrilioFood.

After letting it sit for 1 hour, when scrubbing the pan. Yenny explained, because the pan is made of stainless steel, she chose to scrub it with wire wool because this material is not easily scratched. However, if you have a pan made of other materials that are easily peeled, you should use a softer sponge.
Rub for a few moments until the burnt crust is gone. Finally, just scrub the pan again using dish soap as usual. After you feel the pan is clean from burnt crust stains, rinse it with water until there is no soap left.

1. Is this method safe for all types of pans?
Yes, but make sure you match the scrubber to the material of the pan. If your pan is made of stainless steel, a wire brush will work. However, for pans made of Teflon or non-stick, use a soft sponge so as not to scratch the coating.
2. How long should the pan be soaked to make the crust easier to remove?
Ideally, let the pan soak in hot water and dish soap for 1 hour. If the crust is very thick, it can be left longer or overnight for maximum results.
3. Can you use plain water if there is no hot water?
Hot water is more effective because it can soften the burnt crust more quickly. If you only use plain water, the crust may be harder to remove, so you need more effort when scrubbing it.
4. Can this method be used to clean burnt crust on non-stick pans or pots?
Yes, but be careful when scrubbing. Use a soft sponge so that the non-stick coating is not damaged. Also, avoid using wire wool because it can damage the surface of the pan.
5. How do you prevent the pan from burning easily?
To prevent scorching on the pan:
- Use medium or low heat when cooking.
- Make sure there is enough oil or water when cooking so that food does not stick directly to the surface of the pan.
- Immediately soak the pan in warm water after use to prevent food residue from hardening.
