Effective means and methods of washing a burnt pan

It doesn’t matter whether you are a professional cook or an amateur cook, a housewife or simply a person who has to cook for yourself. In any case, it does not work out without the pan. And once it is used, then sooner or later the moment will come when something will burn inside, so you need to be ready for such a turn of events.

Face the situation when the pan burned, you can, regardless of the products and dishes that were in it. But first of all it is necessary to disassemble the most frequent options of pollution. Unfortunately, they are the most persistent.

Often the dirt in the pots appears when cooking rice. The removal of such a stick is possible with vinegar, but note that this reagent is potent and can damage the dishes when used carelessly or for too long. Just soak in a problem place means exactly 60 minutes. More benign substances - citric acid or freshly squeezed citrus juice.

Even lovers of rice porridge and pilaf periodically lead preparations for the winter, for example, they cook various jams. But this product is able to deliver some difficulties, as it sticks to the dishes very easily. A complex product consisting of 50 g of soda, 5 g of citric acid, 100 ml of the popular “Whiteness” product and a glass of warm water will help fight this blockage. It should be borne in mind that this composition is caustic and all manipulations should be carried out in rubber gloves (preferably in someone's presence).

But in addition to various soot, dishes can be covered with just raids of an aesthetic-looking color.

From the yellowness of the most ordinary helps soda soda, which is sprinkled with a stain and immediately rubbed with a sponge. Citric acid is also a good remedy (after 15-20 minutes of processing, it is enough to rinse the pan, as usual). In the case of blackness, you need to immediately cook a strong solution of soap and boil problem dishes for 15 to 30 minutes, after which leave it to cool for several hours. If necessary, after a day such cleaning is repeated, but it is not suitable for aluminum tanks.

We now analyze how to eliminate clogs, caused by other foods and just long-term use:

• if a layer of nagara arose from milk, this is a very serious pollution, who tried to remove it - immediately agree with this. Pharmaceutical activated charcoal comes to the rescue, sprinkling a stain with several tablets and after half an hour wash it off with cold water. When the "coal" is not, run to the pharmacy is not necessary. Hold the water in the pan for 10-15 minutes, wake the bottom with salt after draining. After soaking for 2-3 hours, shake out the salt in the garbage bag and rub the inner surface of the hard edge of the sponge;
• from time to time you have to figure out how to free the pans from the captivity of old fat. In addition to ready-made household chemicals, a melamine sponge may be useful for this purpose, but using abrasive products it is recommended to process only the outer side of the kitchenware. Often the pot is boiled in a weak solution of soda for two hours over low heat. Alkali exposure at elevated temperatures facilitates washing and stain removal;

• Nagar caramel is removed using a paste from soda and salt diluted in soapy water, or by boiling dishes in a strong salt solution, to which add a little soda. Soaking in diluted citric acid for 5-6 hours can help;
• its chemical antagonist, vinegar, will help remove the layer of scale: pouring 100 g of acid into a pan almost filled to the brim, carefully boil the solution. Drain the liquid after dissolving scale, wash the dishes, as usual when heavily soiled, and then rinse under the tap;
• the appearance of a layer of stubborn dirt is no better than the occurrence of scale or scurf. Loyal allies in the fight against it are a combination of soda and citric acid. This combination covers the surface with a copiously moistened pan, and after a few minutes it will be necessary only to wash it off and rinse it, as you always do.

Chemical plants produce dozens of different tools that allow cleaning kitchen utensils and utensils from food debris and even its small traces. But in any case, all the formulations contain either formaldehyde, or surfactants, or acids, and therefore can not be considered safe. There are other effective ways, while much more environmentally friendly:

• comes to the aid of the most common table salt: it will take a lot. The salt layer is necessarily slightly moistened and left for several hours, and better until the morning (or until the evening, according to circumstances). After aging the salt is washed off, the pan is cleaned with a sponge;
• enhanced version: the preparation of a strong solution, which is boiled and left until morning, then the crust can be removed with a conventional wooden spatula. Treatment with soda is always more effective than with table salt, a glass of powder is consumed for 1.5 liters of water, the principle of operation is the same;
• when this tool does not help, you can use "heavy artillery", that is, enter the vinegar. 50 g of soda ash and 90 g of acetic acid are added to a liter of water (take it without diluting it). Water with such additives need to boil no more than 15 minutes. The solution is immediately poured into the toilet, the surface is cleaned with a sponge, washed under running cold water and wiping dry;

• Not only soda, but also coffee, more precisely, thick from a ground drink can provide considerable support in restoring order. It is possible to wash the burnt products with water, having previously sustained this thick on the surface of the stain for a long time. If you are not a coffee lover or are not at hand at the moment, boiling in a dirty pan of chopped large onion will bring considerable benefits. It will, of course, be unsuitable for ingestion, however, it will be possible to clean off the soot easier. An alternative to onions is the rind of apples and potatoes, only it must be boiled for at least 30-40 minutes. When there is no cleaning, rescue a tablespoon of citric acid;
• from liquid products that help wash burnt pans, pay attention to Coca-Cola. Fill the dishes with it for 120 minutes, and to make the effect stronger, slowly boil all this time;
• no worse than the recipes invented by an American pharmacist, is such an ancient means as ash. Water is added to it to make a porridge similar in texture and evenly spread over the bottom.In an hour, you can fill the pan with 1/4 of water with water, which is brought to a boil and kept on the lowest fire for another 60 minutes;
• instead of ash, crushed or crushed activated charcoal can be used (it is sold in any pharmacy without a prescription);
• cleaning with toothpaste or tooth powder is recommended if the bottom and walls are covered with yellow spots that did not come off after the main cleaning.

If there is no desire to transfer oral hygiene products, there is an even more powerful way to clean the pots with clerical glue. The method is approximately as follows:

• 10 l of water, liquid glue (all packaging), a glass of baking soda and a briquette of laundry soap are mixed in a large container;
• metal basin boil;
• after boiling, one or several pots are boiled in the solution for at least 15 minutes, and a maximum of 180 minutes;
• turn off the gas or electricity, waiting for the tank to cool;
• when the liquid has cooled, the pans are taken out, thoroughly worked up with washcloths or sponges so that there is no trace of carbon.

However, it is unacceptable in this way to put in order the dishes having a Teflon coating. It will be irreversibly damaged and will not be able to perform its functions. The easiest way is to wash the steel pots - contamination from them is removed even by conventional washing means very quickly.

It happens, however, that even well-cleaned steel utensils are polluted to the limit (due to neglect or the impact of a very stable product - it does not matter). Then you can make a thick mixture (like porridge) from baking soda, diluted with water. Prepare the burned area with a burnt area, and after a certain period, the soot will melt under the action of a hard washcloth. Another way is to boil water, where they added 2 tablespoons of soda of any kind within 15 minutes.

External carbon deposits on a steel pan are cleaned by boiling it itself in a larger vessel, where 2/3 of water and 1/3 of vinegar essence are poured. The resulting solution should completely cover the dirty area. After heating, the liquid is left to cool, having prepared only a mixture of a glass of baking soda and 1/2 cup of sodium chloride. Add a little vinegar on top and scrub the bottom of the cooled pan.

In a universal way, coping with almost all the pollution, it turns out laundry soap. Unlike the same soda, it acts on fats, proteins and carbohydrates, not only as an alkali, but also as a surfactant. Any of the methods just shown with boiling will be more effective by adding soap shavings. There is also such a method: boil 3 liters of water, pour 50 g of soap and 30 g of PVA glue into it after boiling. The resulting preparation should be boiled for at least 1/2 hour in a dish covered with soot. If you put the pot itself in a metal bucket, you can even wash it outside.

Suppose there was no PVA in the house, then they do this:

• take half a standard piece of soap;
• rub it with a grating, a mixer or a fork until a homogeneous powder;
• add 0.15-0.2 kg of soda, stir again;
• boil water in a dish-covered dish with the addition of three tablespoons of pasta.

In order to choose the right cleaning method and not to damage either the main material or the coating, you should think over everything thoroughly. Prepare rubber gloves to keep your hands skin clean and healthy. Of the tools will need sponges and soft washcloths (hard abrasives can scratch even the most durable walls of pots).To remove the crust inside of should be not a knife, and a wooden spatula, so you get rid of burning, not parting with coatings. Household wipes will help to complete the cleaning and give a radiant shine. But not only walls can get burned.

A very big problem is to clean the bottom at home. You can, of course, scrub it off with sand, abrasive powders or pumice, but these are not the best ways. Experts recommend simpler, safer, and easier ways. First of all, boiling in the soda solution of the entire pan at once.

The most important principle in handling enameled pans is the speed of cleaning. After a few hours, removing dirt will be many times more difficult (even exposure to water does not help). But at the same time, the vessel should cool itself, without cooling with running water and other tricks. Otherwise, the enamel will crack, and burning from an accidental unpleasant event will turn into a permanent source of problems. Hard brushes and in general any treatment with abrasives are absolutely unacceptable.

Wash an aluminum pan is very difficult, because any dirt instantly eats into the material. Fortunately, dishes from the "winged metal" burns occasionally. If such an incident overtook you, put the pot on the wet unwanted cloth for 20-30 minutes to make it easier to wash. In the meantime, it is worthwhile, you might think which way to solve the problem is best to choose.

The first method is very simple - a half-hour boiling in a saucepan of a solution of 25 g of soda ash. It can also be mixed with dishware to a creamy consistency, add 60 g of hydrogen peroxide and cover the problem area with a layer of the resulting paste. Wait 5 minutes, clean the dirt with a washcloth and rinse the dishes under running water. It happens so, unfortunately, that all these methods do not produce results. Then the fight enters a combination of tablespoons of soda and silicate glue, which is also diluted with water and boil for 1/2 hour.

After cleaning the aluminum pan, a dark color bloom may appear in it. They cope with it in the following way: 15 g of borax, 15 g of liquid ammonia are put on 300 g of water and the walls are coated with this mixture. Then, when 30 minutes have passed, the pan should be thoroughly washed.

Absolute carbon is perfectly safe for pans of any kind: grind 3 tablets of it to a state of powder, sprinkle carbon on them and wait about 40 minutes. Next, pour in cold water and wait half an hour, then rinse the dishes. So the most stubborn pollution can be removed. If there is a lot of time, and there is no desire to make efforts at all, you will be supported by whey. Blot the stain with it for 20-30 mm, leave it unattended for 12 hours. After such treatment (without boiling), the usual cold water washes away the carbon layer.

Cast iron dishes are not fundamentally cleaned like those made from other materials. It is advisable to avoid washing it and letting in liquid, since water, penetrating into the smallest pores, will immediately cause powerful corrosion.

For washing, if it is still necessary, use warm water and a soft sponge. Burnt food is removed, topping up water to the level of the top of pollution, bringing it to a boil. Then, after allowing to cool, the dirty liquid is drained, the rest of the carbon is removed with dishcloths or paper towels. The inside of the wipe dry and clean the pan in the place reserved for it.

You can wash the lid in the same way as the dish for which it was made (in most cases). Glass lids are most often washed with a combination of dishwashing detergent and low abrasiveness powder. When there is no powder and if you wish to manage your household in an environmentally-friendly way, soda ash will come to the rescue.

Glassware itself successfully gets rid of dirt when using ammonia; after its application, the glass surface is dried with a flannel cloth, additional rinsing is not required.

It is important to know that not all methods of cleaning pots are equally useful. Never use metal brushes (with the exception of working with cast iron). Both enamel and thin aluminum will be irreversibly damaged. The pan will also be worthless after working with a knife or other sharp object to clean it. Under the ban is the use of tools that are released for cleaning gas and electric stoves, microwaves, ovens: they leave invisible particles, which are very difficult to wash off.

A useful trick, sometimes preventing the occurrence of burning even on the most "capricious" enameled pans - do not leave them on hot plates and tiles, and also put on fire empty. Add shine to stainless pots easily able raw potatoes, a small piece of which you want to hold on all the walls.

Having found water stains, you should not be upset either - they are cleaned with vinegar applied on a soft sponge.
