Brilio.net - Dealing with burnt and crusty pans can be a nightmare for anyone who often cooks. Food residue that is burnt and stuck firmly on the surface of the pan not only makes this cooking utensil look dirty, but is also difficult to clean. Although various attempts have been made, from soaking in soapy water to scrubbing with a rough sponge, the results are often unsatisfactory.
Burnt and crusty pan surfaces are usually caused by food residue that is not immediately cleaned after cooking, coupled with high heat that makes the residue even more difficult to remove. In addition, using inappropriate cleaning tools can worsen this condition, because it has the potential to damage the protective layer of the pan and make it easier to burn when used again.
To overcome this problem, some special cleaning tricks are needed that are more effective. If you are confused, you can use the trick that was once shared by Instagram user @melizah21. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to only relying on a few kitchen ingredients.
As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @melizah21 on Saturday (11/16), the kitchen ingredients in question are vinegar and salt . But for maximum results, also prepare citric acid as a cleaning agent. Well, these three ingredients will later be used to remove crusty burnt stains on the pan.

The method is to boil water in a burnt pan. Before the water really boils, add enough citric acid, salt, and vinegar. After that, stir and boil until the water boils. While boiling, scrape the bottom of the pan using a safe wooden spatula that won't scratch the pan.

If it feels clean and there is no crust stuck, immediately turn off the stove and throw away the boiled water. Then rinse under running water. After that, wash the pan as usual with a sponge and dish soap. Well, the remaining stains that stick will be easier to clean because they are soft. That way, the pan that was originally burnt will be clean and shiny again.
