  1. Add Water and Vinegar:
    • Fill the burnt pan with enough water to cover the burnt areas, and then add 1 cup of white vinegar.
  2. Bring to a Boil:
    • Place the pan on the stove and bring the water and vinegar mixture to a boil. Let it boil for about 5 minutes to loosen the burnt residue.
  3. Add Baking Soda:
    • Remove the pan from the heat and add about 2 tablespoons of baking soda. The mixture will fizz and bubble, which helps lift the burnt food.
  4. Let it Sit:
    • Allow the mixture to sit for 10-15 minutes to further loosen the burnt bits.
  5. Scrub the Pan:
    • Empty the pan and use a non-abrasive scrubber or sponge to scrub away the remaining residue. Rinse with warm water and soap.
  • Benefit: This method uses natural, household ingredients to break down stubborn, burnt residue without harsh chemicals.
