One of the common problems is a dented pan. This condition can be caused by various factors, ranging from impacts during use to the age of the pan. Dents on the pan not only interfere with the appearance, but can also affect its function when used.
If you have a dented pan, there is no need to rush to take it to a repairman. There is a simple way to fix it without having to spend extra money. This method has been shared by a netizen named Rahayu Subekti through a video upload on her personal YouTube channel.

After that, rub the spoon slowly on the bottom of the pan. Make sure you do this process on a flat and hard surface, okay?

Do it slowly and repeatedly until the surface of the pan is flat again. If you think it's enough, try checking the part of the pan that was dented earlier.
"Just rub it for a while, the dent will be neat again," he said.

How to wash pans properly to keep them durable.1. Rinse with warm water.
After use, rinse the pan with warm water to remove any stuck-on food. Warm water helps loosen stubborn grease and grime.
2. Use dishwashing soap.
Pour a little dish soap on a soft sponge, then gently scrub the inside and outside of the pan. Avoid using a wire brush or abrasive sponge to avoid scratching the surface of the pan.
3. Treat stubborn stains with baking soda.
If there are burnt or crusty spots, sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda onto the dirty area, then add a little water to form a paste. Let it sit for a few minutes before scrubbing with a sponge.
4. Use vinegar to remove unpleasant odors.
If the pot has a smell that is difficult to remove, mix water with a little vinegar, then boil it in the pot for a few minutes. After that, rinse with clean water.
5. Dry with a clean cloth.
After washing, immediately dry the pan with a clean cloth or microfiber cloth to avoid water spots and prevent rust, especially on pans made of stainless steel or aluminum.
