30 – Clean Burnt Pan
Even the best chefs in the world burn their pans from time to time! Therefore, it only makes sense that us amateur home cooks would deal with the same problem while cooking at home. But while a burnt pan initially looks like a disaster, it’s not so hard to clean with just a little vinegar.
If you’ve scorched the bottom of your pan, don’t panic! Simply place the pan back on the stove and fill it with one cup of water and one cup of vinegar. Then bring the mixture to a boil. Once the water and vinegar are bubbling, turn off the heat and add two tablespoons of baking soda to the pan. Allow the baking soda to sit for a couple of minutes before tossing out the liquid and cleaning the pan as normal with a scouring pad. Once you’re finished washing, your pan should be clean and burn-free.
