How to wash a burnt pot?

When we usually cook, the food often sticks to the bottom of the pot because we add too little water or do not stir-fry it in time. Even with a small spatula, it is difficult to clean the burnt pot, and black marks are often left. When we cook or make soup again, some black powder will appear in the soup, affecting the color of the food. For a burnt pot, you can usually clean it using the following simple methods.

Although stainless steel pots will not rust, they are inevitably burned during the cooking process. Therefore, many friends want to know what to do if the stainless steel pot is burnt black. Let’s take a look at some ways to deal with this problem!

Brush the pot:

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.

Shanlihong can remove the paste from the pot:

If the bottom of the pot is burnt when you cook rice or stir-fry vegetables, put a few mountain reds in the pot, add a little cold water and boil it (do not boil it dry), and the burnt bottom of the pot will soon be removed.

Add a little vinegar to the pot:

Add water until it just covers the burnt areas, heat the pot, and then you can wash it off.

Bring water to boil in a pot:

Add a small amount of detergent, cover the pot, leave it overnight, then scrub it to remove it.

Tomato paste to the bottom of the pot:

If you put a few not-so-good tomatoes in the pot and cook them, they will naturally fall apart.

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.

Beer and white wine to de-stick the 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.

Precautions for stainless steel pots

Stainless steel pots will not rust, but this does not mean that you can use them without any worries. Generally, when using stainless steel pots, we also need to pay attention to some precautions, as follows:

1. Do not store liquids containing a large amount of electrolytes, such as soup, salt, etc., for a long time. If left for a long time, it may cause a chemical reaction between the stainless steel and the electrolyte, endangering human health. But there is no need to panic, as long as the stainless steel pot is not left for a long time, it is safe.

2. Do not allow the stainless steel pot to be dry-burned. Long-term dry-burning may cause the surface coating of the stainless steel pot to age and fall off, which may affect human health if accidentally eaten.

As for the black burnt substances remaining on the bottom of the stainless steel pot, it is best not to use a hard brush to clean it. During the cleaning process, the surface of the stainless steel pot will be worn, and it will be more prone to burning during future use, which will greatly reduce the service life of the stainless steel pot.
