Brilio.net - Frying pans are often used to cook various types of dishes. Not only frying, the pan can also be used for sauting, boiling and grilling. Because the shape is concave inward, the food in the pan doesn't spill. Therefore, some people collect frying pans of various sizes at home.
However, due to frequent use, the pan can become dirty. Moreover, the butt (bottom) of the pan is directly exposed to the stove fire. If you don't clean it regularly, the bottom of the pan will become covered in burnt crust.
To clean it, you can rub the citrus solution into the bottom of the pan . After rubbing for a while, the burnt crust on the bottom of the pan will peel off by itself. Just wash the pan using dish soap as usual. As a result, the pan shines again without the slightest burnt crust remaining. If you don't use citrus, can you do it?
Don't worry, you don't always have to use citrus, it turns out there are other cleaning agents that can be used. The method was demonstrated by Instagram user @fajaralam_s. In his video upload, he appears to have replaced citrus with two other kitchen ingredients. Curious about how?

Fried food can stick to the pan when cooking for several reasons, including:
1. The surface of the frying pan is not smooth or non-stick:
Pans that do not have a smooth surface or are not coated with non-stick materials such as Teflon tend to make food stick.
2. Oil is not hot enough:
Oil that is not hot enough when the fried ingredients are added can cause the ingredients to stick. The hot oil will form a protective layer around the food, preventing it from sticking.
3. Not enough oil:
Too little oil can cause the fried food to stick to the bottom of the pan. Fried foods need enough oil to submerge so they don't stick.
4. Wet fried ingredients:
Food ingredients that are still wet or contain a lot of water tend to stick to the pan. It is best to dry food ingredients first before frying.
5. Unclean pan:
Residue or leftover food from previous cooking that is still stuck to the pan can cause new fried food to stick.
1. Heat the wok and oil properly:
Make sure the pan and oil are hot enough before adding the fried ingredients. Oil that is hot enough is usually characterized by small bubbles appearing around the material when it is added.
2. Use a non-stick frying pan:
If possible, use a skillet with a non-stick coating or a seasoned cast iron skillet.
3. Dry the fried ingredients:
Make sure the ingredients to be fried have been dried well to reduce the water content which can cause sticking.
4. Add a pinch of salt to the oil:
Some people believe that adding a little salt to hot oil can help prevent food from sticking.
5. Use enough oil:
Make sure the amount of oil used is sufficient to evenly cover the fried ingredients.
By paying attention to the factors above, you can reduce the chance of fried food sticking to the pan and get better results.
