Cooking is a joy, but the aftermath of cleaning greasy, stubborn pots can be a daunting chore. Over time, old grease builds up, leaving an unpleasant, sticky residue that regular washing often fails to remove. Don’t worry! This guide will show you how to get rid of that nasty old grease stuck to your pots with an easy and effective trick.
Why Does Grease Build Up on Pots?
Grease accumulation occurs when oil and fat are heated repeatedly. They break down into sticky residues that bond with the surface of pots, especially if they aren’t cleaned thoroughly. Over time, this buildup becomes resistant to traditional dishwashing methods. Here’s why:
- High-heat cooking: Cooking at high temperatures can cause oils to polymerize, forming a tough layer.
- Improper cleaning: If grease isn’t washed away immediately, it hardens and adheres to the pot’s surface.
- Non-stick or old pots: Older pots or certain coatings can trap grease in their texture.

What You’ll Need:
- Baking soda
- White vinegar
- Dish soap
- Warm water
- A scrubbing pad or sponge
