@@NgoziAtitiVlogs It works! so, I had put the whole soap, vinegar, baking soda etc and left it in the kitchen. I decided to check the internet while I was waiting. I saw your video that said it did not work and I felt disappointed, but was too tired to go and remove the pot from where I left it. by morning, I went back to just clear it, not expecting anything. I didnt even have an iron sponge, just the foam one and it came off! so, maybe leaving it over night makes the difference, and I also used cling film and not kitchen tissue to cover mine. but it definitely works. and my pot was definitely as blackened as yours.
When I get residue on my enamel Dutch oven, I put baking soda and water in it and boil it for a while. It releases brown spots and keeps my favorite pan looking like new. I’ve not tried it for the exterior of pans, but I think the boiling water may be key to the release.
Sorry it didn't work for you. Best cleaner I've found for gas char on pans is normal hand cleaner. Something like GoJo. I like to use the orange one with pumus. Get the pan hot with hot water and then empty all the water you can. Put the hand cleaner on the pan with the Dawn and use green Scotch Brite scrubby pad to scrub the char away while the pan is still warm. If the char is fresh it melts away fast. If it is old it may take a second cleaning. This works on burnt oil in the pans too. About 20 years ago I got a whole set of stainless steel pans because my inlaws couldn't be bothered to clean them. I still have those pans to this day & they are still bright and shiny.
Thanks so much for sharing that .. I’m house sitting and accidentally boiled a couple of potatoes dry .. I felt sick that I ruined my besties pot .. you’ve saved it
Like you, I had tried several things that I had found online and none of them had worked for me either. But I figured out something THAT ACTUALLY WORKED FOR ME!!!! My situation was that I had an expensive Calaphon stainless steel 3 quart pan that I really liked. I had accidentally left the empty pan on a hot burner and ruined its appearance. There was no burned on food or grease, the pan had been empty. I didn't need a pan that was that expensive, I had bought it because I like how it looked, and now I had ruined it, or so I thought. The outside of the pan had taken on a very even, dark, golden brown patina. Considering several of the online videos that hadn't worked for me, just like they hadn't worked for you, nonetheless it seemed that white vinegar might do something helpful. And white vinegar had been useful for me in other projects, so I tried something on my own. I took a plastic bowl big enough to immerse the entire ruined pan, and put in an entire gallon of pure white vinegar. I completely submerged my ruined pan, and let it soak for an entire evening. After three hours in pure white vinegar there was NOTICEABLE IMPROVEMENT! I continued to let it soak overnight AND THE DISCOLORATION WAS ENTIRELY GONE!!! I had my pretty pan back! So, this is what has worked for me. I don't know how this would do with burned on food and grease though.
Our Indian Pans are like this everyday due to the vegetables we prepare and the tempering we do...our basic dish soap bar and steel Sponge works wonders 😀
I have done this and it worked on a old T-Fal chicken frying pan. the bottom was not as bad as yours but close. the sides were about the same. The difference in your method and the one i used was the pan was warm, the ingredients were all mixed together in bowl and then added to the bottom in a thick paste and then it was covered with plastic saran wrap. your way allows the active liquids to disapate where the saran wrap keeps it working longer. finished with very minor scrubbing with a green pad for the bottom but the sides were pretty much clean. it diid kill the enamel coating glossy look but the pan was old anyways
I think it would’ve worked a lot better if you left out the dawn . Because baking soda and vinegar will clean some very stubborn cotton stains on cookware. But I think adding the Dawn you scrambled chemical reaction.
Spray oven cleaner on it then leave sit for about 20 minutes that's what I do, I also use a powder called Barkeepers Friend it does an amazing job also excellent for cleaning copper bottoms on pots they look new after. Thanks for showing people it was a scam
Thank you for doing this test, I knew this was false but so many people were saying the same thing that I thought to myself “it must be true!” I’m so glad I didn’t waste my money or time on this false claim!
Lagostina makes a powder that you mix with a little bit of water. ( like the consistency of toothpaste). A little bit of scrubbing and your pots will look like the day you bought them!
Thank you for doing this. You are correct in your findings. I have watched videos of Japanese housewives cleaning the metal parts of their expensive rinnai stoves with baking soda and it worked beautifully, no scrubbing involved. If I find better information, I'll share it with you.

It's almost guaranteed not to work if you just scrub it with your bare hands. Since the pan is not a "non-stick" pan, try a brillo pad with all your stuff on it. Also, put plastic wrap over the mixture and let it soak for 24 hours.
Yeh ! I saw that Tik Tok too and wanted to try. Am glad to see your RU-vid and didn’t waste my time. Thanks for trying it out for me and most likely helping LOTS other people 🙂
I remember some years ago (my youth), while at camp, the counselor sprayed ammonia all over the burnt pan then concealed it in a trash bag overnight. The next day he used a soapy scouring pad (Brillo) to remove all that burnt stuff. I wonder if this would work for your pan?
Thank you. I too, saw a similar video to the one you saw....I have a pot that had burnt pasta in it and was going to try this ... you have saved me a lot of time and effort! ❤️
You should try it, it works for me, but you have to do the right mix ratio, AND, you have to let it sit a bit to do its work. So.e people think make this rib it on ri se off. no. You do have to let it work a bit.
Just use fume free Easy off, it takes the crust out your oven, it takes it off the pots and use sos or scrubbing pad, depending on how bad just like the ovens may have to do it more than 1 time.
Hi, I watched the demonstration before watching yours and was going to try it. I will just have to roll my sleeves up and give my pans a good scrub! Thanks for your video.
If you want to keep from getting the black build up in the first place. Rub the outside of the pan with dish soap before cooking and it will come right off. That is what we did at camp and it worked every time.
@@manalishah07 probably. It's used on fireplaces. I did it for many, many years and the soap before fireplace cooking works every time. It would probably work on a gas stove but may make a little mess.??
It worked for me on a pan that was similar if not worse. Instead of scrubbing with the paper towel after I let it soak for a hour I used a Brillo pad. Wish I could share a picture.
I tried Oven Pride, (oven cleaner) poured a little on the base of my pan, covered it with cling film and left it the whole morning, pan came up lovely and clean
Get yourself a green scrubbing pad salt water do it in the sink With your whole pan inside and out Salt inside and out and plenty of elbow grease From the 1st day you buy your stainless steel Pan It'll take a couple of minutes and you'll be done done in your pants will look good if that matters to you the inside is the main area area don't forget to season the inside of your stainless steel pad
Thank you for saving my time. I have tried many things and none have worked. Best thing is for me to toss out my "burned-on-grease-pan" and buy a new one. Thank you! ❤️
@@NgoziAtitiVlogs yep, did that as hard as I could across 2 months which, if you remember, is mentioned in my previous post: "tried many things". That is why I was looking up alternatives on youtube
If you scrub really hard and have some free time I have gotten it off with of those hard copper like scrubs and dawn soap. And it brought it back to a silver color I used it on a caldero pot though for reference
Get some "Barkeeper's Friend" cleaner (the powder, not the paste) and make a paste of it and water (using the stovetop cleaner paste doesn't work on pots and pans, I tried!). Spread the paste on thick and let it sit overnight. You may need to scrub a teensy bit in the morning but nothing major. Sure cleaned up my grungy pans!
@@walkermom100 It is really just an abrasive. There is nothing magic about it & the pan this woman was trying to “wipe away” heated grease stains from would not be cleaned by barkeepers friend either without scrubbing like crazy. Baked on grease and stuff like Pam spray that has been heated is only coming off by mechanical scrubbing! If then!!!!
Use oven cleaner outside your home. Place some cardboard on the ground first. Place pan dirty side up. Spray oven cleaner and leave overnight. Everything comes off! 🙋🏻♀️💞
Thanks you can check this video on oven cleaner HOW TO CLEAN BAKING TRAYS || This works like magic #easyoff ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KDRQTwybbIQ.html
Have you tried Barkeepers Friend? It works very quickly and is safe to use. I have very sensitive skin and it does not affect my hands at all. And my stainless still pots sparkle and are practically non-stick.
These are the exact items that I use for various cleaning projects/tasks throughout my home. It's not magic to use them. All you needed was either a steel wool pad or scouring pad and that pan would have looked as good as new. As I said it isn't magic, elbow grease is needed in order for it to be successful. 🌷🌱
I tried this too and it did nothing. I am so glad that you published this because I thought well, maybe I did it wrong but now I see that it does not work. I saw another one that used Barkeeper's Friend, stainless steel scrubber and elbow grease. Thank you again for doing this.
Thanks for the video. Saved me a lot of time and effort. Have you tried any other methods that some of the viewers in the comments suggested? And if so, which one worked?
I've seen this hack a few times and they all have used the paper towel. And also it came totally clean so I don't think she left the paper towel on long enough maybe. I have not tried this , but I plan too.
Absolutely, was going to make that comment but you got there first! Vinegar and bread soda are power cleaners, use the detergent after you've gotten the mess off!
Its one year ago..now is Dec 2022.. and lots of people have seen your demonstration..thank you for showing the reality of things..it could be the same with other "how to show" videos..
This works if you: fill a larger pot with about 5 inches water, bring to boil. Lower bottom of dirty pot into larger pot making sure bottom is submerged. Simmer for 20 min. Remove, let pot cool then start this persons process. You have to soften up the burned on grease, food before you clean it.
I'm not sure, if you should have actually used washing up liquid. Most certainly, you should have used a wire wool scrubber. Also, I would have left it on for at least an hour. Good luck, next time. The kitchen paper towel, to get it on to the sides, and keep it there, was interesting and a good idea. However, the wire wool or at least, Brillo pads, is equally important, essential...
Citric acid in powder form soaked with dishliquid and vinegar will clean your pan. I do it all the time. Just use citric acid, vinegar, and dishliquid.
It does work but not using detergent and towels , Simply make a paste of the baking soda with as little water, just to make a paste. Put it on the pan. add enough vinegar to make it fizz. Let it sit awhile. then use a scrubbing sponge . Works for me all the time. Also the same combination of vinegar and baking soda will take out Olive oil stains from your clothes!
I always use my drill with a wire brush head. It's always worked well and not alot of work. Just takes a few minutes and the bottom of my pots are clean and back to there original shine. I put the handle in a vise or just offset the pot on a piece of 🪵 wood of course. But that's only if I don't get to clean them weekly with soft scrub and a green scotch pad, which works really well also.
Hi there I am trying out your idea of cleaning an baking dish. It is old burnt stains which is been a bit stubborn to remove. Just wonder how long should I leave it sit for.
I also use Japanese silicone sponge. Then , for stainless appliances, my late father taught me to use very fine sandpaper to sand away the black grit...
You have to remember that the damage will not be removed in a matter of minutes, that is many of months of burnt oil on the bottom of that utensil so if people are trying to remove that much debris they should allow it to soak a few hours and keep it moist with the vinegar. It works all one needs is patience!
pour in a very hot water first or soak it. then do your thing here without that tissue paper. leave it enough time then crumple an aluminum foil to form a ball-like scrub.
I'm pretty sure it's a bust but, the one I saw said leave at least two hours! You only left it 20 minutes. And you're supposed to keep spraying it with the vinegar when and if it dries out. I kind of doubt it will work anyway.
The other internet demonstration use "baking powder" not "baking soda". I believe that may make the difference. Baking powder has a different chemical component.
Hi! Jane here. So sorry you still have a grungy pan! I hoped it would work for you. With my grungy pans, I use a safety razor to scrape out the dark baked on layer, and then steel wool for the golden oil residue. You are so sweet for sharing your outcome.💓
Try using green bar soap, grate it, add Coca cola Coke, boil and mix; add a mixture of half cup of water and a table spoon of salt, add all together and mix thoroughly. Allow to cool and solidify. You can put in a freezer for solidification. Use it and wash off black stains of all types.
I'm sure glad I watched your video before I wasted my time on it, you made me laugh so now I'm going to subscribe to your channel. I'm sure your going to help me a lot! Thank you
Why did you add the salt and dish washing liquid?? I've tried the baking soda and vinegar(or was it hydrogen peroxide??) before and it worked for me. Let set for 20 or so minutes and use a scouring pad to help scrub some of the baked on gunk off. If it's built up over time, a 2nd or 3rd treatment might have to be done. But it did work for my. Just use baking soda and vinegar(or hrgn. peroxide...I can't remember)
Salt is a gentle scrubber, by basically soaking it into a liquid it makes it mute. Dawn is a degreaser which is not needed in this situation. Baking soda also a gentle scrubber. Vinegar is acidic and good for dissolving some things but not everything. I think over all the idea of using a bit of vinegar to scrub a salt/baking soda mixture to remove stains is a good idea for light marks but not heavy like this. Also the only tip I know for certain in the kitchen is denture cleaners are a quick easy way to clean coffee mugs of stains.
There is a product in the U.S. called "Bar Keeper" that works extremely well!! I find it in restaurant supply stores, or at some grocery stores. It renews your Stainless Steel pots and pans and shines them like new!!! I polish other metals with it as well!!!
@@NgoziAtitiVlogs it’s called Bar Keepers Friend, try to buy it in the liquid form. I hate for my pans to look crusty too. Funny that when I had all stainless steel pans they all looked brand new, only since I started using no stick that the gunk showed up! No matter I’m about to start using an air fryer about 99% of the time and only use my stove for baking goodies.
Thank you. I've been trying this today and you proved it's all fake tips. I noticed that they always use expensive non-stick pans like titanium. Thank you again for exposing the idiots on line.
