Don’t throw it in the garbage: here’s how to make a burnt pot look like new again


A burnt pan is not beyond repair, you just need to know how to treat it with the right ingredients. Here’s what they are: all natural.

Cleaning burnt pans can be a real nightmare , and often the situation is so serious that it seems irreparable . Fortunately, with the right methods and products it is possible to restore these pans to their original glory . Follow the steps below to effectively clean a burnt pot and make it look like new again.

Cleaning a burnt pot

First, prepare the necessary equipment : you will first need a larger pot in which to immerse the burnt pot.

Make sure the largest pot is large enough to hold the entire burnt pot . You will also need water , washing powder, a potato , salt , baking powder , soda , 240 grit sandpaper , running water , detergent and a sponge.

Fill the largest pot with water first . Place the burnt pot in the larger pot and fill it with water as well. Make sure there is enough water to completely cover the burnt pot.

Now turn on the stove : place the largest pot on the stove and let the water come to a boil . The hot water will help loosen any burnt crusts on the pan .

Once this is done, add the washing powder . Once the water has reached the boiling point , add some washing powder directly to the burnt pot. This will help dissolve encrustations and make them easier to remove. Leave everything to soak for the necessary time, perhaps a few hours.

Polish the encrustations with the potato paste

While the burnt encrustations soften, we prepare the final solution to also degrease the residues on your burnt pan. It is a completely natural degreasing paste made from potatoes .

In a separate bowl, grate a potato and add some salt, baking powder and baking soda. <Mix the ingredients well until you obtain your polishing paste . Now remove the burnt pot: carefully remove it from the boiling water . <Be sure to protect your hands with gloves or oven mitts to avoid burns.

Now empty the water and detergent from the pan. <You will notice that the pan is already cleaner after cooking with the detergent. It’s time to apply the polishing paste . Take a spoonful of the previously prepared potato polishing paste and spread it on the inside of the pan .
