What to do if the bottom of the pot is burnt and black

People who cook often find that pots are not easy to clean, which is indeed a big hassle for people. Generally, fresh black things can be soaked in hot water first. Hot water can remove 80% of stains, so for common stains, you might want to try soaking in hot water. Remember not to use steel wool, as this will damage the surface of the pot. Hawthorn is acidic and is particularly effective in treating the blackening of the bottom of a pan caused by cooking.

1. Just soak it in hot water

Just soak it in hot water and it can be easily cleaned. Never use a steel wool brush as it will damage the pot. If it is an aluminum pot, it will be bad for your health if you use it to cook rice after brushing it. (If you must brush, you can use coarse cloth instead of steel wool)

2. Hawthorn can remove the sticky bottom of the pot

If the bottom of the pot is burnt when you cook or fry food, put a few hawthorns in the pot, add a little cold water and boil it (do not boil it dry), and the burnt bottom of the pot will quickly be removed.

3. Remove the tomato paste from the bottom of the pot

If you have some leftover, not-so-good tomatoes at home and put them in a pot to cook, they will naturally fall apart, and it would be a bit of a waste to use fresh tomatoes.

4. Use beer and liquor to remove the sticky bottom of the pot

If you accidentally burn the pot while cooking and there are rice crusts on the bottom of the pot, if they are difficult to brush off, you can pour in a little white wine or beer and mix it with a small amount of water (the ratio is 1:1:0.5), cover it and let it sit for 5 minutes, then it will be easy to brush clean.

5. Use apple or pear peel to remove the sticky bottom of the pot

Boil apple or pear peels in some water and they will be easy to clean.

6. Orange to remove the sticky bottom of the pot

Cut a few slices of orange and put them in a pot to boil. Cover and simmer overnight. The next day, the paste residue will turn over and be easy to remove.

7. Used phone cards and magnetic cards to clean the pot

Description of the problem: Used phone cards, shopping cards, discount cards, and VIP cards are piling up. Although some people like to collect these things, most people don't have this hobby, so it's better to use them to do something practical. It is inevitable that the pot will be burned when cooking. If you use a hard iron shovel to clean the burnt stains, it will cause scratches. If you use a wooden shovel, it will be difficult to completely remove the burnt stains. Why not let those old cards reflect their value again?

How to use: Use a card to scrape off the burnt dirt along the edge of the pot step by step. Note that you don't need to use too much force when scraping. If the card is made of hard plastic, it can also be used to scrape dirt off a gas stove.

8. Add a little vinegar and boil it with hot water, and it will be easier to wash off.

9. I have a secret trick that I won’t easily reveal to others. In summer, pour a little rice into the pot and let it ferment naturally. After 2 days, you will smell a sour smell and the ashes will be removed with your hands.

10. Dry-roast for a while over low heat

Dry-burn it over low heat for a while, sprinkle salt when it smokes, shake it for one minute, turn off the heat, and then wipe it. It can be removed very cleanly without leaving any residue or burnt smell.

11. Use a cleaning ball and detergent

You can use a cleaning ball and laundry detergent to directly wipe off the blackened part of the bottom of the pot.

12. Apply toothpaste and sprinkle some water on the cloth.

Apply toothpaste, sprinkle some water on the cloth, and rub it vigorously. It is economical and will not damage the pot. However, it may take some effort to rub it.

13. Soak with high concentration sodium hydroxide solution

Soak it in a high-concentration sodium hydroxide aqueous solution (for example, 100 grams of water and 50 grams of sodium hydroxide. Because it is highly corrosive, you must wear acid-resistant and alkali-resistant gloves. It cannot be used to clean aluminum products), and then scrape it with a steel wool.

If you can find "sodium percarbonate or sodium perborate", you can directly pour it into boiling water, then add perborate or percarbonate, soak it until it reaches water temperature, and then pour it out.

The above two methods, the former is to remove burnt grease, and the latter is to remove the burnt yellow color.

14. Removal of burnt scale from frying pans

Pour water into the pot and bring it to a boil, then add a small amount of detergent, leave it overnight, and then scrub it to remove it. After scrubbing clean, apply a layer of oil.

15. Throw in some pineapple peels

Stainless steel pots are easy to get black dirt and difficult to clean. Now just add clean water to the larger pot at home, put in some pineapple peels, and then put all the smaller pots in, boil for 20 minutes, wait for them to cool down, and take them out. They will all be as bright as new!

16. Wash with salt and lemon juice

If metal utensils are rusted, wash them with salt and a little lemon juice. This will not only remove the rust quickly, but also make the utensils shine brightly.

17. Scrub with slightly burned and wet charcoal

If the rice is burnt and the burnt mark is "printed" on the aluminum pot, you can use lightly burned and wet charcoal to scrub it. No matter how big or thick the burnt area is, it can be cleaned.
