Step 1: Boil Some Water
π If your pan has burnt food or stubborn grease, start by filling it with hot water and placing it on the stove. Let it boil for 5-10 minutes to loosen the residue.
Step 2: Add Baking Soda & Vinegar
π Turn off the heat and sprinkle 1 cup of baking soda directly onto the burnt areas. Then, slowly pour in Β½ cup of vinegar. The mixture will start to fizz and bubbleβthis is the magic happening! π©β¨
Step 3: Let It Sit
