Cooking has never really been your thing, but to your credit, you’re making some effort. Of course, you haven’t yet familiarized yourself with the oven (too many numbers and complicated buttons). So your best friend is the good old frying pan and of course… there are failures!
The problem with stoves is that they are expensive. And you’re a little short this month. Just like every other month. So, if you burned your pan (and I must say that you didn’t go easy on it!), here’s a little trick that works every time. It’s simple, fast and cheap.
What you need:
- White vinegar
- Dishwashing liquid
Steps:
1) Start by pouring two tablespoons of vinegar into your pan.
2) Add a few drops of dishwashing liquid and place your pan on the heat.
3) Let it heat up for a few minutes to make cleaning easier. Then remove your pan, and start cleaning it with a simple sponge (be careful not to burn yourself!).
Burn stains should normally disappear like in the Mr. Clean commercials (except that here, the stains will actually come out). That’s it.
If you don’t have white vinegar, pour 1 to 2 tablespoons of citric acid into your pan. Cover with boiling water and leave for a few minutes. Then rinse thoroughly and several times. If you don’t have either, you can replace the vinegar and acid with lemon juice, but with less effectiveness.
