Taming Burnt Skillets with the Power of Pantry Staples

Fear not, fellow foodies! Our founder is here to share her secret weapon for conquering burnt skillets – a potent potion brewed from everyday kitchen staples.

Here's what you'll need:

• The Mighty Trio: Baking soda, white vinegar, and Dawn dish soap (blue, of course!)
• Nature's Powerhouse: A juicy lemon (optional, but highly recommended)
• Scrubtastic Warrior: A trusty gripping scrubber (no delicate sponges here!)

Step 1: The Pre-Soak Prep

First things first, remove any loose burnt bits with a spatula. If the pan is still warm (but not scorching hot), add a generous sprinkle of baking soda to the affected area. This will create a magical barrier between you and the grime.

Step 2: Unleashing the Vinegar's Might

Pour enough white vinegar into the pan to cover the burnt area. Watch the baking soda fizz – that's the cleaning power activating! Let this concoction sit for 15-30 minutes, depending on the severity of the burn.

Step 3: Dawn to the Rescue

Now, for the grease-cutting cavalry: add a few drops of Dawn dish soap. This blue wonder will team up with the vinegar to tackle any remaining greasy residue.

Step 4: The Citrus Surprise (Optional but Fantastic)

For an extra boost of cleaning power and a delightful scent, slice your lemon in half and scrub the burnt areas. The citric acid is a natural degreaser and will leave

your pan smelling kitchen-fresh.

Step 5: The Scrub Down

Grab your trusty gripping scrubber and get ready to wrestle with the remaining burnt bits. Don't be shy – use a little elbow grease! The vinegar-baking soda-Dawn combo will have loosened most of the grime, so scrubbing should be a breeze (well, almost!).

Step 6: Victory Lap and Rinse

Once your skillet is sparkling clean, rinse it thoroughly with hot water and admire your handiwork. You've vanquished the burnt food gremlins and saved your pan from a fiery fate!

Bonus Tip:

For stubborn burns, you can repeat steps 2-5. Additionally, if you have a cast iron skillet, avoid using soap as it can strip away the seasoning. Just use the vinegar-baking soda combo and a good scrub with a stiff brush.
