Brilio.net - Boiling water in a pan is a daily activity that is often considered trivial, but not infrequently leaves annoying problems . One common problem is the appearance of thick white crust on the surface of the pan after the water boils. This crust is often difficult to clean and can reduce the appearance of the pan, even affecting the quality of the water being cooked.
The white crust is actually formed due to the mineral content in the water, such as calcium and magnesium. When water is heated to boiling, these minerals settle and stick to the surface of the pan. The harder the water used, the thicker the crust that forms. Although not harmful to health, the presence of this crust can make the cooking process less enjoyable.
To overcome this problem, there are several practical ways that can be done. Some people sometimes clean it with citric acid. Because, citric acid is considered to be able to remove stubborn stains, such as water crust in the pan.
But if you have trouble getting citric acid, there are other kitchen ingredients that can be used to clean the water scale in the pan. Reported by BrilioFood from YouTube yu sitie chanel on Sunday (5/1), the kitchen ingredient in question is vinegar. Well, this vinegar is very effective in removing the scale at the bottom of the pan, you know.

So, how to use it, you just need to pour vinegar into the pan. Then add water with a 1:1 ratio with vinegar. After that, make sure the vinegar water coats all parts of the pan that are affected by water scale. If so, move it to the stove and boil until boiling.
"Heating the vinegar and water helps speed up the chemical reaction, as well as softening the crust, making it easier to clean," said YouTube yu sitie chanel.

Well, after boiling, let it sit until the water is warm. Then, scrub the surface of the pan with a wire brush. If the crust still feels thick, you can repeat the vinegar boiling process several times. After that, scrub again and rinse until clean.

Vinegar is effective in removing water scale in pans because it contains acetic acid, which reacts with minerals that cause scale, such as calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate. When vinegar is poured onto a crusty surface, the acetic acid dissolves the minerals, turning them into compounds that are more soluble in water, so the scale comes off and can be cleaned easily.
This process not only effectively cleans the pan but is also safe, as vinegar is a natural ingredient that does not leave harmful residues. With its multi-functional properties, vinegar is a popular choice for cleaning kitchenware without the need for harsh chemicals, helping to keep the kitchen clean and safe.
This video about the trick to clean the crust on the pan has been watched more than 25 thousand times. It is no wonder that many other YouTube users gave direct responses in the comments column. Most of these netizens admitted to being grateful for getting new, useful knowledge.
"Alhamdulillah... I have gained useful knowledge. So far, if the pan has crust, I will replace the pan.
