How Grandma taught me to remove burn stains from a pan!  

I measure with my heart but if you need more precise measurements use 1/3 cup of vinegar to 4 cups of water & 2 tbsp of baking soda.

Since the baking soda neutralizes the vinegar, your grandmas hack is ultimately just scrub your dishes but with added steps of 10+ minuets wasted.

All adding baking soda does is neutralize the acid that's actually taking up the crud. Try it with vinegar, boil until nothing is left and scrub with warm water and soda

It worked like a charm. Thank you so much! Gobless your grandma!

Or you could just pour enough vinegar to cover the stain, wait overnight and wipe it. No need for all the rest of it.

Why dilute the vinegar? It will work better more concentrated. Also the baking soda will just neutralize the vinegar making it less effective. You would be better off just using a paste of the baking soda and a bit of water and use that as an abrasive to clean the pan.

Just scrub with bakingsoda directly

Baking soda + dish soap + water. Let sand for 1 hr or so . Wash no scrubbing. Vinegar neutralizes the scrubbing power of baking soda.

This really worked, thanks. Pan looks new.

Never tried it this way. My Mama always put water in with a drop of dish liquid, heated it back up, then after hitting a boil, dump & clean. It's worked so it's what I've been doing. Might try this to see the difference if any. TFS

Barkeeper's friend. Literally gone in less than 10 seconds.

I use salt and half of a lemon. Rub the lemon and salt on your pan. Works really fast and no need to use a harsh scrubber.

I use a fabric softener sheet. Works great!

Baking soda first Then add vinegar / apple cider vinegar (Both work fine) Let it sit for a few minutes, no heat necessary You should be able to just wipe it off

I have this exact same pan (which is awesome) and all I needed is baking soda and a little warm water. Cheers!

Totally different pan at the end

you don't need to do any of that. Bar Keepers friend and a sponge is all you need.

Use scrub daddy paste. That’s it.

I’m pretty sure you could’ve avoided that whole mess you made and just used the elbow grease by itself. Probably would’ve done the trick quite well

No. Just do baking soda and water then let it boil. The mark should lift off without elbow grease basically.

Just add vinegar and hot water let it soak overnight and just wipe out with warm water and dawn dishsoap . No scrubbing required.

Quick tip, citric acid, the one you use in cooking sometimes, one tb and cup of water, bring it to boil, turn it off and leave for couple hours.. wash and enjoy

Thanks girl for this useful tip😊👍👍👍

All you need is a paste of baking soda. SCRUB WITH FINGERS. It will come out - without boiling water, or vinegar, or metal scrubber

I have found the best method is skip the vinegar. All you need is water and baking soda let that baking soda simmer, turn your heat off let it cool and use a simple, scrubby brush. Whisk it around a few times, and it should remove the majority of it. If you have scorched hard, food debris then you just repeat that a couple times more with the baking soda. No elbow grease involved.😊

Actually it works even without vinegar or baking soda, just water. Boiling water softens that thingy

Use Astonish! Works like magic!

Just use the water and baking powder and simmer for a few minutes and let it cool. It will come off without any scrubbing. By adding vinegar and baking soda, you’re only neutralizing each. The bubbling action might help but simmering water does that anyways. When you add an acid and a base together you end up making water and a salt so it’s not doing anything.

I have an easier method. Sprinkle Bon Ami powder to cover the stain. Let it sit as long as needed so that when you rinse off, the stain could be washed off by wiping with a sponge with no elbow grease.

I’ve bypassed the first 3 steps and it worked

also if you make a paste from the baking soda and vinegar it acts as a slight abrasive cleaner and helps scrub faster!!

Thanks I’ll try this

use a box of baking soda and a half a cup of vinegar mix it up and put it all in the bottom of the pan and let it set for about 30 minutes and then scrub

You can just use regular vinegar. Distilled vinegar has a higher concentration of acid, but by adding 4 cups of water you just dilute it to standard vinegar.

Boil water with soap powder, much easier. The best stuff so far has been the pink stuff paste. Leave it on for 5 mins, scrubs off easy

Hey love just curious.. I've got pots and pans that are very similar to yours and my son and I have either scorched or burned burned things in them a few times and literally just take a little bit of hot water, Dawn dish detergent and a scotch bright sponge and some elbow grease takes it right out so I don't understand the purpose of the baking soda and vinegar I'm sorry I'm not trying to be a smart-ass I'm just curious

The best product Bar Keepers Friend

Ovencleaner does the trick whitout scrubbing~

As people have already said, the baking soda neutralizes the vinegar and essentially just makes salt water. Just boil water in the pan to loosen it and give it a scrub. That way you don't risk eating away at the enamel with the vinegar if you leave it in there too long before neutralizing it.

What pan is that??

What pan is that?

You saved my dad a scorching from my mom with this one!

Just use a carbon solvent like Carbon-Off. Works in like 10 minutes, no scrubbing

I always use plain table salt and a tad bit of water. It acts as a scrubber and takes off tons of gunk.

while it's still warm if u put like a cup of salt in and then scrub it itll help it to come off even faster but this works too.

I gently use the brillo soap pads and it takes everything off..no need to make concoctions

How did you burn an Always pan?

Even quicker Boiling hot water and a dishwasher tablet No scrubbing needed

Instead of this method, just put a lot of baking soda with water and leave it for a couple of days. Works like magic!

I would only use baking soda +water paste and scrubber without boiling anything

Bar keepers hand powder is the best no scrubbing your Lil heart out needed. 🙏🤗💕

*God bless your grandmother

Dude, I thought after all that, the sponge was going to glide through the burn stain😂😂

Even easier use SOS pads they do stand for Save Our saucepans

just need warm water and powdered laundry soap and green scrubby pad. very simple

All you need is baking soda and enough hot water to cover the bottom of the pan and let it soak over night then just wipe away.

Adding baking soda to acid does nuthing. You want to soak in vinegar first, drain then scrub with baking soda as an abrasive.

Leave the vinegar in there overnight & then scrub the burned bits off

The vinegar is an acid, which you are then diluting with water. Then you add baking soda, which is a base and neutralizes the vinegar. So now you basically have a pan full of water. Then you HAVE TO SCRUB YOUR HEART OUT which is where all the work happens. So really, you're just spending forever scrubbing your pan. Get some dish soap.

Liquid fabric softener, let it sit, then wipe

Try boiling water in the pan with a little soap and just baking soda, the baking soda will act as an abrasive. This is how my mom gets baked on crud off her cast iron skillet.

You're actually neutralizing the acidity of the white diskilled vinegar with the bacon soda cutting down the performance of it to 0 I'm a mechanic and Arm & hammer bacon soda neutralizes battery acid plus I learned it in chemistry class in High school

Cream of tartar also works ❤

Baking soda and vinegar? Baking soda neutralizes it… so it’s just boiled water and scrub. I think just boil vinegar should work

Looks like two totally different pans to me.

Use salt to help scrub off the patch

Don't baking soda and vinegar cancel each other out?

Ok thanks 😂❤❤

Delicious!!! Just kudding.

Listen all you have to do is boil the pan with water and a little dawn for about 3 min drain it and scrub it’ll come right off

It’s the alwayz paaaahn.

Wow!

Simple way… Just pour over boiling hot water from a kettle pot and let sit for 1-2 mins. Then a few scrubs later and it’s gone. Trust me !

I just use white vinegar 🤷‍♀️ If scrape it while it's boiling it comes right off

Put salt and use tissue to scrub on heat

You just basically wasted a bunch of time boiling water and then scrubbing the stain out. All you need to do is pour a little vinegar on it full strength at room temp and let it soak. That would loosen up the stain a lot more than boiling it with water and baking soda.

Bar keepers friend That’s it!!!

Dawn works also

Soak then scrub. No need for all that extra stuff.

Mix baking soda and watee into a paste. Leave on the pan for an hour. Spray distilled vinegar and you will not need to scrub. Simole

Or just sprinkle on some comet/barkeepers friend and scrub for 30 secs.

Boil water and let it cool, then scrub. Or just oven cleaner it.

Just use only baking soda, baking soda is a base while vinegar is acidic, they neutralize each other so it does nothing.

Magic eraser works great

why are y’all so heated over a little pan cleaning video 💀 “go and buy a new one” WHAT🤣 who just buys a new expensive pan anytime it needs to be cleaned?? “that’s not the same pan” the reaching y’all are doing is CRAZY

Just using a "Mr. Clean magic eraser" with just water would take that off in 2 seconds.

Warm the skillet lightly wet it then add baking soda and use a Teflon scrubber … also make sure you don’t have a hot spot when that burner is concerned.

Gmail needs a lesson in pot scrubbing

Through a drop of fabric softener in it and let it soak overnight.

Or just sprinkle with some bar keepers friend powder and gently scrub and voila 😉

Easy off oven cleaner works well too!

Quick tip, don't buy that pan. It's not what it's cracked up to be. Overpriced for what you get.

You should have just put water and baking soda and got it real hot and let it soak for a little bit and I bet you it would come right off

oven cleaner-no scrubbing

It doesn't look like new, it is new LMAO 🤣

Soak in water then use soft scrub it comes out eitherout doing all what you said

Somebody sends this to that guy that burned off his fingerprints in a hot pan

I just leave it

bruh the baking soda is gonna cancel out the acidity of the vinegar

Oh come on now. The pan on the stove had a white interior & " the clean 1 looks greenish. Not the same pan.
