Culinary enthusiasts generally enjoy collecting various types of pans in the kitchen. Moreover, there are currently a variety of choices of pans with various shapes and colors that can be easily found on the market.
However, collecting many pans must also be balanced with good pan care, you know. Because, stubborn stains can appear on pans that are often used. For example, on the bottom or bottom of the pan that was originally smooth, after being used several times it can turn into burnt because it is often exposed to fire. Not to mention, if there are often water marks or food ingredients that stick, it can even become crusty, you know.
To clean it, the burnt stain will not disappear if only using dish soap and water. That's why many people choose to buy special cleaning agents or use kitchen ingredients that contain active substances to erode stains, such as lemon , vinegar, baking soda, or citric acid.
However, it is different from netizens on the TikTok account @resephematmudah. He has a method that he thinks is effective and very easy to remove burnt stains on the bottom of the pan. Namely, just using bar soap. The method is, simply apply bar soap to the entire bottom of the pan, especially where there are burnt stains.

Next, the pan can be used for cooking as usual even though there is still soap underneath. Well, after use, the pan can be cleaned. Simply rub the bottom of the pan using a damp sponge. If you feel the burnt stains are gone, then rinse with running water.
"After use, wash with a soft sponge, and rinse," explained the owner of the TikTok account @resephematmudah, quoted by brilio.net on Monday (3/3).

How to prevent the pan from burning.1. Use low to medium heat.
Cooking on high heat can burn the bottom of the pan quickly. Use low or medium heat to distribute the heat evenly and prevent burning the food on the bottom of the pan.
2. Stir food regularly.
When cooking, stir food periodically to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan and prevent the bottom from burning.
3. Use enough oil or water.
Cooking dry ingredients without adding oil or water can increase the risk of burning. Make sure there is enough liquid for the dish.
4. Choose a pan with a non-stick coating.
Using a pan with a non-stick coating can help prevent food from sticking and burning to the bottom of the pan.
5. Heat the pan properly.
Avoid heating an empty pan for too long, as this can cause the surface of the pan to deteriorate quickly and easily burn when used.
6. Use an intermediate base.
For some types of cooking, especially those that require a long cooking time, use a tool such as a heat diffuser so that the heat is more evenly distributed and does not hit the pan directly.
7. Clean the pan properly.
After use, immediately clean the pan with soap and warm water to remove any food residue. Avoid using rough sponges that can damage the surface of the pan.
