This is what they are, all natural.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Burnt pans<\/strong> can be a real <strong>nightmare<\/strong> to clean up, and often the situation is so dire that it seems <strong>irreparable<\/strong>. <strong>Fortunately, with the right methods and products<\/strong> it is possible to restore these pans to their <strong>original shine<\/strong>. Follow the <strong>steps<\/strong> below to effectively clean a <strong>burnt pan<\/strong> and make it look like new again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clean a burnt pot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To get started, prepare the necessary <strong>equipment<\/strong>: first you will need a <strong>larger pot<\/strong> in which you can submerge the burnt pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure the largest pot is <strong>large<\/strong> enough to hold the entire <strong>burnt pot<\/strong>. You will also need <strong>water<\/strong>, <strong>washing<\/strong> powder, a <strong>potato<\/strong>, <strong>salt<\/strong>, baking <strong>powder<\/strong>, baking <strong>soda<\/strong>, 240-grit <strong>sandpaper<\/strong>, <strong>running water<\/strong>, <strong>liquid detergent<\/strong> and a sponge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a <strong>first step<\/strong>, fill the larger pot with <strong>water<\/strong>. Place the burnt pot <strong>inside<\/strong> the larger pot and <strong>fill it<\/strong> with water as well. <strong>Make sure there is enough<\/strong> water to <strong>completely cover<\/strong> the burnt pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_465422\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nanopress.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Una-pentola-bruciata.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-465422\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now <strong>turn on the stove<\/strong>: put the larger pot on the <strong>stove<\/strong> and let the water reach the <strong>boiling point<\/strong>. The hot water will <strong>help loosen<\/strong> any burnt <strong>scales<\/strong> in the pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once done, add the <strong>washing powder<\/strong>. Once the water reaches <strong>the boiling point<\/strong>, add some <strong>detergent<\/strong> directly to the <strong>burnt pot. <\/strong>This will <strong>help break up<\/strong> the scales and <strong>remove them<\/strong> more easily. Leave <strong>it on for<\/strong> as long as necessary, maybe <strong>a few hours.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Polishing the inlays with the potato paste.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the <strong>burnt scales<\/strong> are softening , let&#8217;s prepare the <strong>ultimate remedy<\/strong> to also degrease the <strong>residues<\/strong> present in your burnt pan. It is a totally natural <strong>degreasing paste<\/strong>, made <strong>from potatoes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a separate bowl, grate a <strong>potato<\/strong> and add some <strong>salt, baking powder, and<\/strong> baking soda. <strong>Mix<\/strong> the ingredients well until you get your <strong>polishing paste<\/strong>. At this point, <strong>remove<\/strong> the burnt pot: carefully remove it from the <strong>boiling water<\/strong>. Be sure to <strong>protect<\/strong> your hands with <strong>gloves or handles<\/strong> to avoid burning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now <strong>empty the water and detergent<\/strong> from the pan. You will notice that the pan will already be <strong>cleaner<\/strong> thanks to the <strong>process of boiling<\/strong> with detergent. It&#8217;s time to apply the <strong>polishing paste<\/strong>. Take a <strong>tablespoon<\/strong> of the previously prepared potato <strong>polishing paste<\/strong> and spread it inside <strong>the pot<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_465423\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nanopress.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Carta-abrasiva.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-465423\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use a piece <strong>of 240-grit sandpaper<\/strong> to gently rub the paste over the entire <strong>surface<\/strong> of the pot. Then, add a little water <strong><\/strong> from time to time to keep the <strong>surface moist<\/strong> while you rub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you&#8217;re done scrubbing, <strong>rinse<\/strong> the pot under running water to remove any <strong>burnt and stuck residue<\/strong>. The inside of the saucepan should now be <strong>shiny and clean<\/strong>, with no <strong>burn marks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If the burn is also present on the outside<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the <strong>outside of the pot<\/strong> is also burned, repeat the same <strong>steps<\/strong> above to apply <strong>potato polishing paste<\/strong> to the outer surface. Then, rinse the pot under <strong>running water<\/strong> and, if necessary, use some <strong>detergent<\/strong> and a <strong>sponge<\/strong> to remove any <strong>residue<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By following these simple <strong>steps<\/strong>, you will be able to <strong>remove burnt scales<\/strong> and return your pan to its <strong>original state<\/strong>. Always remember to be careful and <strong>protect your hands<\/strong> during the cleaning process to <strong>avoid injury<\/strong>. Now you can enjoy a <strong>clean and sparkling pan<\/strong> for your future culinary preparations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A burnt pot is not irrecoverable, you just have to know how to treat it with the right ingredients.
