Brilio.net - Leaking pans are a common problem faced by many people in the kitchen. When the pan starts leaking liquid when in use, it not only disrupts the cooking process, but can also cause fires or damage to other kitchen equipment. Understanding the causes of leaking pans is essential so that you can take the right steps to prevent it and keep our cooking equipment in optimal condition.
One of the main causes of leaking pans is damage to the pans joints or welds. Pans made of metal, such as stainless steel or aluminum, often have welded joints that hold the pan together. Over time, repeated use and exposure to high temperatures can cause these welds to weaken or even crack, leading to leaks. Additionally, dropping or bumping a pan can also cause physical damage that results in leaks.
In addition to physical damage, other factors that can cause a pan to leak are poor quality materials and maintenance. Pans made of low-quality materials may be more prone to leaks than high-quality pans. Additionally, if the pan is not cleaned properly or exposed to harsh chemicals, its protective coating can be damaged, accelerating the corrosion process and leaks. Therefore, it is important to choose a quality pan and take good care of it so that it can last a long time and function properly.
But if you experience this, don't worry. There is a simple way to fix it without having to spend a lot of money, namely by utilizing used materials that are often considered trash.
One of these unique tricks was shared by YouTube account Creator Kampung. He showed how to patch a leaky pan using only an old toothpaste wrapper.

Toothpaste wrappers have an aluminum layer inside. Its function is as a heat-resistant material and strong enough to cover small holes in the pan.
How to use it is also very easy. First, cut the toothpaste pack according to the size of the hole to be patched. Then, heat the pan on the stove for about a minute so that the surface expands slightly, so that the patch material can stick better.

Once the pan is hot enough, stick the piece of toothpaste wrapper on the leaking part. Then, tap it gently so that it sticks perfectly.
As a result, the hole is tightly closed, and the pot can be reused as before. This method not only saves money but also reduces waste by utilizing used goods.

To prevent the pan from leaking easily, proper care is essential. Avoid cleaning the pan with a rough wire sponge, as it can erode the surface and cause it to break quickly.
Also, do not heat the empty pan for too long over the fire, as excessive heat can weaken the structure of the material and cause holes. With proper care, the pan can be more durable and continue to function well for a long time.
