Oh, am I happy that I came across your video. I put a pan of broccoli to steam and completely forgot about it. It was a burned mess! Wasn't my pan, either, so I HAD to find a cleaning method. I boiled lemon slices in a couple inches of water. The scorchmarks came right off. I was so relieved! Thank you so much.
I burnt my mom's non stick pan while making food and it was really bad and I was afraid to scratch it, I couldn't let my mom find out 😢 I'm so glad I came across this video thank you so much for this ❤ I used the vinegar, Baking soda one
Ok , I tried the one you mentioned with letting the dish soap soak alone with out water first then add hot boiling water and let it sit until it cools down for a while then scrub for less than a minute or 2 it work like a breeze, I worked in a kitchen for years and no one ever told me about this wish I knew back then Thanks for sharing this 😊
You're very welcome! I'm glad to hear that the dish soap and hot water trick worked well for you. If you have any more questions or if there's anything else I can help you with, feel free to ask. Happy cleaning! 😊
As a chemist I think a newspaper article had the best solution. The burnt material is protein and acid will work but bio wasing detergent is very good as it breaks down protein, hence don't use it on silk or wool!
I noticed that in this video, the burnt stuff was medium burned, whereas I am trying to get off something well blackened with the approximate hardness of bakelite, the old timey polymer. The vinegar and soda treatment may work on it, hopefully! (Also a chemist here, well biochem anyway)
For my "bakelite" the vinegar and baking soda worked magic, it turns out. Guessing acetic acid and sodium bicarbonate form sodium acetate which does something to solubilize gook. So I didn't get to solutions 2-4
@@skiwheelr any updates ? I forgot I was heating my rice milk and and my kitchen was full of smoke and I have a thick coat of burnt milk. Did it work for you ?
I watched the video on Google Hub but had to come to my phone and give it a like because of all the passive aggressive digs😂 "...and you should if you're even a half decent cook"🤣
I just used Dawn Powerwash and boiling water and it worked perfect!! My pans are Saladmaster Titanium pans and I thought I destroyed it. Thank you for your tips!
The "Pink Stuff" is a popular, abrasive cleaning paste known for its distinctive pink colour, effective in tackling tough stains on various surfaces. Applied with a sponge or cloth, it's particularly useful for kitchens and bathrooms.
I bought 'Pink Stuff' some time ago and have used it several times - but not really any good on any jobs so far. None of the other methods did the job, although vinegar + water + bicarb of soda loosened things a bit. I guess it will be back to steel scourers and elbow grease . . .
I'm glad to hear that salt finally did the trick for you! Sometimes, persistence and finding the right method can make a significant difference in tackling stubborn burnt residues.
I have a stainless steel cooking pot. I ended up burning the pasta to the bottom of the pan. I have tried using baking soda several times, but stuff seems to have burnt right into the pan! I have always been able to get my pots & pan sparkling clean, but this has had me stumped for a few weeks now. The baking soda seemed most effective but it did not remove it all. I can still see the little macaroni shapes in the bottom of the pot, but I can't feel them. Any other suggestions I can try? I considered using a flame thrower, but ... 😅
To remove the burnt pasta residue from your stainless steel cooking pot, you could try Bar Keepers Friend. This is a cleaning product specifically designed for removing tough stains and burnt-on residue from stainless steel. Follow the instructions on the product label for the best results.
@@ExpertHomeTips I have a pan I had boiled water in and forgot it on the stove. I had black splotches on the bottom that would not come out. I just tried Bar Keepers Friend. Put enough in the pan to cover the bottom, let sit for a minute, and took an SOS scouring pad to it. To my surprise it all came out and is shiny clean now. I didn't think I would ever be able to get it clean again. Thanks so much for the tip. That stuff is AMAZING!
For aluminium pots, you can use a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water. Boil the solution in the pot for 10-15 minutes, then scrub with a non-abrasive sponge or brush. Alternatively, you can create a paste with cream of tartar and water, apply it to the stains, let it sit for 15-20 minutes, and then scrub. These methods should help remove stains and maintain the cleanliness of your aluminium pots.
Thank you! To clean a burnt stainless steel pan, fill it with a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar, bring it to a boil, then remove it from the heat and scrub away the burnt residue with a non-abrasive sponge or brush.
Yes, if you don't have pink stuff on hand, you can try using Cif Cream to clean your surfaces instead. However, reading the label and following the instructions carefully is essential to ensure you use the product safely and effectively.
The acidity in lemon juice can help break down grease and grime, making it easier to lift off stubborn residues. Additionally, the natural citrus scent can contribute to a fresher smell during the cleaning process. While hot water alone can be effective, the lemon's acidity and aroma may enhance the overall cleaning experience.
People use the combination of baking soda and vinegar for cleaning because it fizzes up and has a gentle scrubbing effect, making it effective for various cleaning tasks.
If you burned your traditional espresso maker, prioritise your safety by unplugging it and ensuring there is no immediate danger. Assess the damage and contact the manufacturer or a professional technician for assistance with repairs or replacement options.
To clean other pans, such as stainless steel or cast iron, start by allowing them to cool down before washing. Use hot, soapy water, a non-abrasive scrubber, and some elbow grease to remove any food residue or burnt-on stains, then thoroughly dry them to prevent rust or water spots.

Very impressed it worked on a pot with burnt on custard that I did not think was salvageable. Thank you.

The salt with elbow grease was the only thing that cleaned my frying pan.
Thank you
Retired chemist.
We're so glad to hear you found something that worked for you!
I find it happily funny that several chemists were viewing this video. Me....

Did you use an aluminum scrub? I just shouldn't have let stuff other than food fry in the pan.
Lemon method really worked !! 😮😮😲😲It saved my life....... Thank you
Glad it helped!

where do I get the "pink stuff"? Never heard of it here in US.
We believe Walmart sell it
Awwwwwww after trying almost all of them salt finally worked. Or maybe the accumulation…. Geez that took forever lol

Unfortunately all your tips were only shown on non stick pans. What about alaminum pots please
For aluminium pots, you can use a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water. Boil the solution in the pot for 10-15 minutes, then scrub with a non-abrasive sponge or brush.

Salt, baking soda and dawn power wash!
Sounds great!
I just burnt some potatoes to oblivion 😂 you saved me❤
We're glad to hear it!
2-3 lemons ..
cost approx US $3 !!
That seems more expensive than the UK!
hmm l don't see the point of the lemon, just the hot water part will do the trick.

Hi Amy! What do you mean by lines?
I think the word is limes…not lines.
Baking soda and vinegar together essentially just make a water 🤦♀️

If you burned your traditional espresso maker, prioritise your safety by unplugging it and ensuring there is no immediate danger. Assess the damage and contact the manufacturer or a professional technician for assistance with repairs or replacement options.
Thank u ! Lol
You're welcome!
You are just showing nonstick pan.which is easy.
To clean other pans, such as stainless steel or cast iron, start by allowing them to cool down before washing. Use hot, soapy water, a non-abrasive scrubber, and some elbow grease to remove any food residue or burnt-on stains, then thoroughly dry them to prevent rust or water spots.
Actually i think is easier to clean sticking pans than nonstick pans as there is no risk to scratch it in thr first case.
