We’ve all been there – accidentally leaving a non-stick pan on the stove for too long and ending up with a burnt mess. But fear not! Cleaning a burnt non-stick pan doesn’t have to be a daunting task. With a few simple steps and some pantry staples, you can have your pan looking brand new in no time.

What You’ll Need

  • Dish soap
  • Baking soda
  • Vinegar
  • A soft sponge or brush
  • Water

Step 1: Remove Loose Residue

Start by scraping off any loose food residue from the pan using a spatula or a wooden spoon. Be gentle to avoid scratching the non-stick coating.

Step 2: Create a Cleaning Solution

In a small bowl, mix equal parts baking soda and water to create a thick paste. Baking soda is a gentle abrasive that helps loosen burnt-on stains.

Step 3: Apply the Cleaning Solution

Spread the baking soda paste evenly over the burnt areas of the pan. Let it sit for about 15-20 minutes to allow the paste to penetrate the burnt residue.

Step 4: Scrub Gently

Using a soft sponge or brush, scrub the burnt areas in circular motions. Be careful not to apply too much pressure to avoid damaging the non-stick coating. The baking soda should help lift the burnt residue.

Step 5: Rinse and Assess

Rinse the pan with warm water to remove the baking soda and loosened residue. Inspect the pan to see if any stubborn burnt spots remain.

Step 6: Target Stubborn Stains

If there are still burnt spots lingering, pour a small amount of vinegar into the pan. Heat the pan gently on the stove until the vinegar begins to simmer, then remove it from the heat. Let it sit for a few minutes, allowing the vinegar to work its magic on the stubborn stains.

Step 7: Final Scrub and Rinse

Gently scrub the remaining stubborn stains with a soft sponge or brush. Rinse the pan thoroughly with warm water to remove any traces of vinegar.

Step 8: Dry and Store Properly

Pat the pan dry with a clean towel and make sure it is completely dry before storing it. Avoid stacking heavy objects on top of non-stick pans to prevent scratching or warping.

By following these simple steps, you can reclaim your burnt non-stick pan and prolong its lifespan. Remember, always use gentle cleaning methods to ensure the longevity of your non-stick cookware.
