Brilio.net - Burnt pans while cooking are a common problem often faced in the kitchen. Burnt pans not only make the food being cooked lose its taste and quality, but also leave black stains that are difficult to clean. This situation certainly makes the cooking process more troublesome.
Blackened pans are usually caused by several factors, such as too high a temperature, lack of supervision when cooking, or using a pan that is not suitable for the type of cooking. When food starts to burn on the bottom of the pan, the black layer that forms is not only difficult to remove, but can also give off an unpleasant odor. This is certainly a challenge for people who often work in the kitchen.
Then to overcome this problem, a special trick is needed so that the pan can be clean again without damaging the surface. Various methods can be tried, starting from the use of natural ingredients such as baking soda and vinegar, to special cleaning products available on the market. However, baking soda and vinegar are the most frequently used ingredients because they are considered more effective in removing stubborn stains.
If you are running out of baking soda and vinegar at home, there are other ingredients that can be used. This ingredient was once practiced directly by Instagram user @mellamaryana. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to only using one type of drink to clean the black burnt pan.
As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @mellamaryana on Friday (6/12), the type of drink in question is a carbonated drink. Well, this carbonated drink does not need to be heated or boiled, as if using other cleaning agents. Just by soaking the pan in this carbonated drink, the black crust can be removed.

For a clearer process, you can directly pour the soda into the burnt and blackened pan. After that, let it sit or soak the inside for about 30 minutes. This process will help soften the blackened burnt crust, making it easier to clean later.

Carbonated drinks can help remove black crust on burnt pans because of the phosphoric acid and carbonation contained in them. Phosphoric acid is a fairly strong cleaning agent, capable of dissolving and eroding layers of burnt crust that stick to the surface of the pan. Meanwhile, carbonation helps loosen hardened food particles, making them easier to clean.

Well, if it has been soaked, immediately rinse the pan and wash it as usual. You can use dish soap and wire wool to remove the black crust on the bottom of the pan. Do this process while rinsing the pan occasionally so that the pan is shiny and shiny again.
This way, your pan can be clean again without having to use harsh chemicals that can potentially damage the surface of the pan or endanger your health. In addition to being effective, this method also uses ingredients that are easy to find at home, making it a practical and economical solution to the problem of burnt pans.
