Burnt pans

I usually throw those away, but you can try to soak them in hot soap water till you can scrape off the burnt part.

It's bad when that happens to 'non-stick' pans...if you scrub them sometimes the teflon coating flakes off and ends up in your food :/ there are some great tips on this thread that i'll definitely be trying!

Depends on how burnt it is. Sometimes it's just easier to get a new pan. I soak mine overnight in hot water and soap if it has burnt food on it.

Dunno since I am not good at baking. But maybe you can ask google for an answer

Boil water and a small amount of soap in the burnt pan to help loosen burnt material. When the pan is hot it is much easier to clean! Pots and pans can be expensive, but buying ones made with thicker metal can help prevent burning in the future.

I usually prefer to use a scrubber and a good grease stripper with a burnt pan I don't know why brillo pads caused rust in your pans maybe it was the quality of the metal used to make the pan that was bad.

Isis also my preferred method. I also throw water into the pan either while it's on the stove or immediately after. It helps to dissolve some of the grease.

Bicarb of soda is amazing at getting rid of burnt on grease. Make sure you wear protective gloves when using it, otherwise it will get rid of all the grease in your skin too!

Try baking soda and lemon. Works for me.

I agree with the other posters about using baking soda (bicarb of soda). It really works and it's something you probably already have in your kitchen cupboard. It's cheap and safe to use. There are some great videos on YouTube showing you in real time how quickly it works.

Sprinkle the pan with baking soda then spray on some vinegar. Rinse and repeat until the burnt bits are loose enough to scrub off. You can also try boiling a mixture of water and vinegar in the pan to help loosen it.

I have heard of this a lot. I am going to try this soon.

The best way to clean burnt pans is to start by filling the pan with water and adding a few tablespoons of baking soda. Bring this mixture to a boil and let it simmer for a while. Then, use a scrub brush or sponge to gently scrub away the burnt residue. If it's still stubborn, you can try a mixture of vinegar and water. Patience and a little elbow grease go a long way in restoring your pan to its former glory.

What is the best way to clean a burnt baking pan? I don't want to use Brillo pads because the pan gets rusty.

First, let it soak in hot water and Dawn. Second, let it soak with some vinegar in it.

Here are multiple ways to fix it. https://www.thekitchn.com/skills-battle ... n-23003919

I soaked it in baking soda and vinegar last time and it worked well, not sure it's the ultimate way tho.
