How to Restore the Shine of a Burnt Pan in 5 Minutes – The Two Secret Ingredients (Page 2 ) | April 19, 2025

Preparation method

Preparing the pan – Make sure the pan is cool. Do not attempt to clean the hot surface to avoid damaging the material.
Making the paste – In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with a small amount of white vinegar to form a paste. Add the vinegar slowly so it doesn’t become too runny.

Paste Application – Apply the paste to the burnt surface of the pan and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes. The paste will work on the accumulated dirt and burns.
Rough Sponge – Once the time is up, take a rough sponge or wire brush to gently remove the burns.
Rinse and Dry – Finally, wash the pan with warm water and dry it thoroughly. That’s it, your pan is shining again!

After cleaning, to keep your pan in good condition, maintain it regularly, using appropriate oils or fats to prevent future burns. Store the pan in a dry place to prevent rust from forming again.

Variants

Instead of white vinegar, you can use lemon juice, which also has cleaning properties.
If your pan is very burnt, you can increase the amount of baking soda by creating a thicker layer of paste.
