Brilio.net - Turmeric is often used as a cooking spice because it can enrich the flavor and give a distinctive yellow color to food and drinks. Unfortunately, the yellow color of turmeric can also stick to various kitchen utensils used, for example when boiling turmeric to make herbal medicine.
The longer it is left, the yellow stains can form a crust on the surface of the pan that is difficult to clean. A pan affected by turmeric crust becomes less suitable for boiling other foods, because the remaining stains and crust can peel off little by little and contaminate the food.
Therefore, turmeric crust needs to be cleaned first. A YouTube user named Kania TuBe CHANNEL once shared a powerful trick to remove turmeric crust. Although initially admitted to having difficulty cleaning turmeric stains , in the end she found an effective way.

"Actually, this pan is still good, but I used it to make turmeric and tamarind herbal medicine. So the remaining turmeric stains are difficult to clean, even though I have scrubbed it with a brush," explained YouTube Kania TuBe CHANNEL, quoted by BrilioFood on Wednesday (11/12).
After further investigation, it turns out that he did not only rely on dish soap to remove turmeric crust on the pan. But there is another ingredient, namely citric acid, which is used to clean the pan.

First, pour one liter of hot water. Mix with cold water until the pot is full. According to Kania, hot water helps soften and remove the turmeric crust in the pot more easily.

Next, put in one sachet of citric acid. After that, pour in enough dish soap. Stir until all ingredients are well mixed.
"I bought this (citric acid) for Rp. 1,000, you can buy it at the nearest shops," said YouTube user Kania TuBe CHANNEL.
After stirring, let it sit for 2 hours so that the crust softens and sets optimally. If so, throw away the water and scrub the remaining crust with wire soap. Do this process until the remaining crust is completely clean.

Finally, rinse the pan with running water. After washing, the pan that was originally yellow becomes shinier and cleaner. You can apply this trick to other kitchen utensils that have turmeric crust.
