Instructions:
- Create the Cleaning Paste: In a small bowl, mix together baking soda with just enough hydrogen peroxide to form a paste. The consistency should be thick enough to cling to the sides of the pan without dripping off.
- Apply to the Pan: Using a sponge or a soft brush, apply the paste generously to the burnt and greasy areas of the pan. Focus on the outside where burns and grease typically accumulate.
- Let It Sit: Allow the paste to sit on the pan for at least 30 minutes. For more stubborn stains, you might want to leave it for a couple of hours or even overnight. This gives the baking soda time to loosen the grime, and the hydrogen peroxide to lift the stains.
- Scrub Gently: After letting the paste sit, gently scrub the areas with a non-abrasive sponge or brush. You’ll notice that the burnt residues and grease start to come off with minimal effort.
- Rinse and Dry: Once you’ve scrubbed away the grime, rinse the pan thoroughly with warm water. If any stubborn spots remain, repeat the process focusing on those areas. Dry the pan with a clean cloth or let it air dry.
Tips for Best Results:
- For extremely burnt pans, adding a bit of hot water to the mixture can enhance the cleaning power.
- Use a plastic or silicone scrubber to avoid scratching the surface of your pans.
- This method is safe for most types of pans, but always do a spot test on a small area first if you’re unsure about the material.
Benefits of This Method:
- Economical: Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide are inexpensive and widely available.
- Eco-Friendly: Avoids the use of harsh chemicals and reduces reliance on dishwashers, saving energy and water.
- Effective: Removes grease and burns without damaging the pan’s surface.
With this easy and effective cleaning solution, you can restore your pans to their former glory, making your kitchen a more inviting space for cooking. Embrace the simplicity and efficiency of using baking soda and hydrogen peroxide for a cleaner, greener kitchen.
