The bottom of the pan is exposed to constant stove fire. If you don't clean it, the burnt stain will eventually harden and be difficult to clean.

Brilio.net - Pans are one of the cooking utensils that are often used. Not just for boiling water, you can use a pan for frying, sauting, and even grilling food, you know. The shape of the pan is concave inwards so that the food will not spill or come out.

After use, the pan must be washed clean immediately. Unfortunately, most people often forget to wash the bottom (bottom) of the pan. In fact, this part is full of burnt spots due to constant exposure to the stove fire. If you don't clean it, the burnt stain will crust over, making it more difficult to clean.

To clean it, you can rub the bottom of the pan with baking soda. 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 then rinse. The result is that the pan is maximally clean again.

But there's no need to worry if the baking soda stock runs out at home, because there are other cleaning agents that can be used. As did Instagram user @eatsofficial. In his video upload, this netizen can be seen replacing baking soda with the addition of one food ingredient to clean his pot butt.

Clean burnt pans.

Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @eatsofficial on Wednesday (16/5), the main cleaning ingredient used is charcoal. For maximum results, he also added one other food ingredient, namely lime juice. Before grinding, add the juice of 1/2 lime to the charcoal.

If so, put the charcoal in the plastic bag. Then pound the charcoal using a pestle or other tool until it becomes smooth. After that, filter the crushed charcoal before putting it in a bowl.

Next, add more juice from 1/2 lime into the bowl. Stir until all ingredients are completely mixed. The texture of the cleaning solution becomes thick like a paste.

Then apply the cleaning solution to the bottom of the pan. Spread it evenly and immediately rub the cleaning solution using a wire sponge. After rubbing it for a while, the crust on the bottom of the pan immediately disappeared and nothing remained.

Without needing to wash it again, rinse the pan with running water. As a result, the pan is maximally clean again because there is no longer any burnt crust on the bottom.

Which is better stainless steel pan and aluminum pan?

The choice between a stainless steel pan and an aluminum pan depends on your personal preference and cooking needs. Here's a comparison between the two:

Stainless steel pan.

1. Strength and endurance:

Stainless steel pans tend to be stronger and more durable than aluminum pans. They are not susceptible to corrosion, rust, or chemical reactions with food.

2. Fairly good heat conductivity:

Stainless steel has moderate heat conductivity. This means they can evenly distribute heat well, but may take longer to heat food evenly.

3. Diverse cooking abilities:

Stainless steel pans often have a base coated with a layer of aluminum or copper to increase heat conductivity. This allows them to be used for a wide variety of dishes.

Aluminum pan.

1. High heat conductivity:

Aluminum has excellent heat conductivity, which means aluminum pans can heat food faster and more evenly than stainless steel.

2. Lightweight:

Aluminum pans are usually lighter than stainless steel pans, making them easier to lift and handle.

3. More affordable prices:

Generally, aluminum pans are more affordable than stainless steel pans, making them a more economical choice.

The best choice depends on your preferences in terms of quality, convenience, and your cooking needs. If you are looking for a pan that is durable and has good cooking capabilities, a stainless steel pan might be a better choice. However, if you need a pan that heats quickly and is light at an affordable price, an aluminum pan could be a more suitable choice.
