If you prefer a paste cleaner, mix baking soda with lemon juice until you get a thick paste. Apply it to burnt spots, let it sit for 15 minutes, then scrub and rinse. This variant is especially effective for aluminum or stainless steel pans.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can I use this method on all types of pans?
A: This natural method is safe for stainless steel, aluminum, and non-coated pans. For non-stick pans, avoid vigorous scrubbing to protect the coating.
Q: What if the burnt residue is extremely stubborn?
A: Repeat the soaking and scrubbing process. Alternatively, let the baking soda and vinegar soak overnight for tough stains.
Q: Is it safe to use lemon juice on cookware?
A: Yes, lemon juice is a natural deodorizer and mild acid that helps remove stains, but avoid using on cast iron or copper without proper seasoning afterward.
Q: How often should I clean my pans with this method?
A: Use this deep cleaning approach as needed, but regular washing after each use keeps pans in good shape and minimizes burnt buildup.
