Let's face it; burnt pans are a part of life and something that all condo owners have to deal with from time to time. But cleaning them without damaging your condo is another story—especially when you're dealing with stainless steel pans. Here's how to clean those stubborn burnt pans while keeping your condo pristine.
Benefits Of Cleaning Burnt Pans
The first step to cleaning a burnt pan is understanding the benefits of doing so. Not only can it make your pan look better, but it can also help ensure that food cooks properly when you use it. It's also important to remember that any residue or burnt food particles left on the pan could lead to health issues if consumed, so it should always be removed.
Moreover, cleaning a burnt pan can help prevent smoke from entering your condo and make everything smell bad. This is especially important if you're trying to keep your condo smelling nice in preparation for guests.
Tools and Supplies Needed To Clean Burnt Pans
For most cleaning jobs, you'll need some basic tools and supplies, but the list can vary depending on the type of pan and how badly it is burned. Generally speaking, you'll need a sponge or scrubber, rubber gloves, baking soda, vinegar, and a steel wool pad. If your pan is especially dirty, you should also pick up some scouring powder from the store.
Get Your Burnt Stainless Steel Pan Clean Quickly and Easily!
Have you ever cooked something on the stovetop that got away from you and ended up leaving a burnt mess in your stainless steel pan? Don't worry; we have a step-by-step guide to cleaning stainless steel pans and getting that pan clean and shiny again. You don't have to be an experienced home chef or even own a dishwasher to make your pan look new. Let's take a look at how it's done.
Step 1: Fill the Pan with Hot Water and Detergent
First, fill the pan with hot water and add about two tablespoons of detergent. If you don't have liquid dishwashing detergent, you can also use powdered laundry detergent instead. Once you've filled the pan with water and added the detergent, give it a good stir so the detergent can start working. Ensure all burnt food residues are covered with water; if not, add more until everything is submerged.
Step 2: Boil for 20 Minutes
Once your pan is filled with water and detergent, place it on the stove over high heat and bring it to a boil. Let it boil for about 20 minutes, occasionally stirring so that no air bubbles are trapped underneath any of the burned material. This will help break down that stubborn residue so that it can be cleaned off more easily later on.
Step 3: Scrub Away Residue
After boiling for 20 minutes, turn off the heat and let the pan cool for about 10 minutes before cleaning it. Once cooled off enough to handle safely, begin scrubbing away at any remaining residue using a plastic scouring pad or stiff brush—make sure not to use anything too abrasive or metal as this could scratch your pan or leave tiny particles behind, which are hard to remove later on.
You may need to repeat this process several times until all of the residues have been removed; if needed, feel free to add more hot water during scrubbing to help loosen anything stuck on really tough spots on the scorched pans.
DIY Cleaning Hacks For The Burnt Stainless Pants
If you've accidentally burnt your stainless-steel pans while cooking, don't worry. Some simple and practical DIY cleaning hacks can help remove those tough, burnt stains without damaging the pan. Here are five methods you can do.
Baking Soda and Vinegar
Mix a few tablespoons of baking soda with some white vinegar to make a baking soda paste. Apply this baking soda slurry paste on the burnt areas of the pan and let the mixture sit for a few hours. After that, scrub the pan with a soft scrub brush and rinse with warm water. You may need more baking soda or vinegar, depending on the size of the pan and the amount of burnt residue.
Salt and Lime
Mix some salt and freshly squeezed lime juice to make a paste. Apply this paste on the burnt areas of the pan and let the paste sit for an hour. After that, scrub the pan with a soft scrub brush and rinse with water.
Cream of Tartar
Mix some cream of tartar with a little bit of water to make a paste. Apply this paste on the burned areas of the pan and let it sit for 30 minutes. After that, scrub the pan gently with a soft scrub brush and rinse with water.
Boiling Water and Dish Soap
Fill the burnt pan with boiling water and add a few drops of dish soap. Let it sit for a few hours, then scrub the pan with a soft scrub brush and rinse with water.
Oven Cleaner
If the above DIY hacks don't work for you, try using an oven cleaner. Spray the cleaner on the burnt areas of the pan and let it sit for several hours. After that, scrub the pan with a soft scrub brush and rinse with water.
