Coated pots
Alas, it is possible to wash products with a ceramic coating only if they are not too damaged. The same applies to Teflon. For cleaning surfaces that are not resistant to mechanical stress, only delicate products and soft sponges can be used.
Try boiling the soda solution in it for 10-15 minutes. To prepare the solution, take 1/4 cup of baking soda to 1 liter of water. After the solution cools down, the burnt muck will soften and you can try to wash it off.
Do not use strong cleaners intended for cleaning stoves and ovens.

Aluminum is a fairly reactive metal, so it must be handled with care. If an aluminum pan burns out, you will have to carefully clean it with a hard sponge using fairly delicate products. Rough abrasive is not suitable. Try covering the burnt spots with salt and leaving overnight. If it doesn’t help, boiling in a solution of laundry soap, silicate glue and soda ash will help wash black spots.
Do not use metal brushes and nets, potent products based on acids and alkalis.

Burnt food can upset any hostess. And even more disappointing will be the dirty dishes in which it was cooked. It is not so easy to wash the pan from the adhering remnants of a failed dinner.
Okay, we fry food in them and the soot that appears in the pan is far from an innovation. But if the food in the pan is burnt, then this is the owner's carelessness. But do not rush to get rid of the pan if you have not followed the cooking.
There are many ways to help clean any, even the dirtiest pan of burnt food.
Before you start cleaning work, you need to understand what material was used in the manufacture of the pan. Different methods apply to each utensil.
If trouble happened with enamelware, It is important to consider three factors.
- The sooner you start cleaning the pot, the better the effect will be. If the dishes stand for a while, then yellow spots will inevitably form on it.
- It is impossible to pour cold water into such dishes, heated too much. A sharp temperature drop is fraught with the appearance of cracks and chips. Let the bowl cool slightly, then fill it with water at room temperature.
- Metal brushes are not applicable as improvised means for cleaning enameled pans. They can cause scratches.
With the help of table salt
Table salt will easily cope with a burnt pan. It has the ability to corrode stuck food residues.
Its use involves several methods.
- Completely fill the bottom of the pan with salt, leave the dishes to sour for 3-4 hours, then wash well.
- Make a solution of 6 tablespoons of salt and one liter of water. Pour it into a dirty saucepan and boil over low heat for half an hour. All burnt-on pieces will lag behind the bottom and walls of the dish.
And if rice sticks to the bottom and walls of the dishes? This is a very peculiar product that sticks to almost any dish where it is cooked, due to its sticky consistency during the boiling process. The above methods using salt will also help solve the problem of how to clean an enamel pan from rice.
Vinegar
You can also clean the enamel pan from soot with vinegar. Just keep in mind that this is a rather aggressive product, so its effect should be short-lived. Vinegar must be poured on a burnt place and kept for an hour. Then rinse well with water. If you do not have vinegar, replace it with a regular lemon or fresh citrus juice.
With soda
How else can you clean an enamel pan from soot? As always, baking soda comes to the rescue. She rescued more than one hostess and, most likely, is available in every kitchen. It is enough to prepare a soda solution of strong density, immerse the pan in it and leave it overnight.
In the morning you will see the effect - there will be no trace of dirt. If the dishes were too burnt, then the cleaning should be repeated in this way.
Soap
Soap or dishwashing liquid will also help clean a badly burnt pan. You just need to pour water into a saucepan, cut some soap or add it for dishes and boil over low heat for about 30 minutes. The soot from such a procedure will become soft and it will not be difficult to wash it off with the back of the hard side of the sponge.
So that the enamel pan lasts a long time, with it it is important to handle:
- do not use it for the preparation of liquid dishes - compotes, jelly, soups;
- do not cook porridge in it and do not make roasts;
- do not leave on a hot stove;
- do not put on a lit burner if the pan is empty.
Stainless steel cookware is usually of the highest quality. The food cooked in it is never tasteless. It is also easy to clean, because stainless steel has a high resistance to external influences.
An oxide film protects the dishes, which is periodically updated, maintaining the quality of the metal. But if food burnt in such a pan, then the renewal process is slowed down, and the dishes need to provide emergency assistance.
Before you decide which means you will use to save a burnt stainless steel pan, determine how severe the contamination is on its surface.
3 main ways
Depending on how much carbon deposits formed on a stainless steel pan, you can choose one of the following cleaning methods.
- Limonka(citric acid) will wash off not only soot, but also lime deposits on the bottom and walls. Boil water, poured to the level of soot. Pour a few tablespoons of citric acid into boiling water, look at the complexity of the contamination. Boil water with lemon for 20-30 minutes, then wash the dishes in the usual way.

It all depends on your financial capabilities. So, you need to thoroughly heat the pan and spray or smear the product on the entire dirty surface, wait for 30 minutes. Then wash off all the dirt with a soft sponge. Important! All these chemical cleaners are harmful to humans, so you should wear gloves when working with them. It is better to boil the dishes after such treatment.
- Laundry soap and PVA glue. This method has existed for more than a decade, it has been time-tested and is very effective when cleaning carbon deposits on a stainless steel pan that appeared from porridge, or if dairy food was prepared in the product.
To use this method, you need to dissolve a third of a large bar of laundry soap in 5 liters of water. First turn it into shavings with a vegetable grater.
Pour PVA glue into the resulting solution in the amount of one tablespoon. Dip the pan in this mixture and boil for 30-40 minutes. Then simply rinse with warm water and dishwashing detergent.

If cute enameled pots “live” in your kitchen, then you already have or will soon have the task of cleaning them. Nagar Nagar strife, so let's talk about different cases and start with the most difficult.
And before that, we will warn you that it is not recommended to postpone cleaning the dishes from burnt food, do it right away. The longer the delay period, the greater the chance that the pan will not clean well and may have to say goodbye to it forever. Another important point - be sure to let the pan cool before cleaning it. So, what to do if the enameled pan is burnt and how to clean it?
Severe cases of burning
Strong soot is when part of the food being prepared remains thick, up to a millimeter and more thick, with a black layer on the bottom and walls of the pan. Dealing with such a problem the first time is not always easy. But several attempts usually guarantee a good result. What are the ways to deal with the most severe burns?
Method number 1
To begin with, with a metal brush for washing dishes, carefully clean off the top soft layer of soot, being careful not to touch the enamel. The remaining hard and unwilling layer, pour a 9% vinegar solution so that the vinegar covers all the soot, and leave for 15 minutes. Acetic acid will soften the remnants of burnt food, which will allow you to get rid of it faster and easier in the future. At this preparatory stage is completed.
Main stage. Drain the vinegar solution from the dishes, pour cold water into it and add 1-2 tablespoons of citric acid. We put on fire, let the water boil and boil over low heat until the desired result is achieved. Gradually, the acid will act on the soot, and it will begin to peel off layer by layer from the surface of the dish.
As soon as you notice that a lot of soot has already moved away from the bottom of the dish, finish boiling. If the water has already boiled away, and soot does not give in, the procedure with citric acid must be repeated.
Further, everything is simple. Remove the pan from the heat, drain the water and again, very carefully, with a metal brush, clean off the loose layer, if any. At the end, we use ordinary dish detergents and a soft sponge.
Is Nagar still there? So you need to be patient, and repeat the boiling process with citric acid one or more times until the desired result is obtained.
To get rid of the unpleasant smell of burnt food, cover the pan with a damp, dense cloth (for example, a towel). After 10-15 minutes, the fabric will take all the smell out of the pan.
In severe cases, these manipulations may not be enough. Therefore, leave the pan to stand and “think” for a day, and even better for 2-3 days. After the time is up, boil for 15 minutes. After the pan has cooled, clean off the remaining soot with a soft sponge and baking soda. Rinse thoroughly and ... the pan is like new!
Medium burns
It looks about the same as in the photo.
Method number 1
Surprisingly, the ability of activated charcoal to cleanse our body helps to cleanse our saucepans. To do this, crush the charcoal tablets (1 pack) and cover the affected areas of the dishes with them. Cover the pan with a lid and wait about 20 minutes. Then pour some warm water, covering all the soot with it. And again leave for 20 minutes, covered with a lid. Further actions: wash off the carbon deposits using a sponge and a cleaning agent.
Method number 2
Just soda and nothing else. You will need an aqueous solution of soda with proportions, where 1 liter of liquid is mixed with 1 tbsp. baking soda crystals. The resulting solution should fill the pan 2-3 centimeters above the damaged surface. Put on the stove and boil for 30 minutes. For difficult cases - within 60 minutes. Drain the liquid and rinse the pan with any dishwashing detergent and a soft sponge. Nagar will lag well enough, but it will take a little effort and time to scrub off unwanted stains.
Some housewives advise taking 0.5 cups of soda for 1 liter of water, and after boiling, let the pan cool down with the solution without draining it.
Baking soda is especially good when a protein-based product (such as milk or meat) is burnt.
Method number 3
Actions similar to method No. 2 can no longer be done with soda, but with citric acid. 1-2 tablespoons of acid for the amount of water that will cover the burnt bottom. Let it boil and boil for 10 minutes so that the soot begins to peel off. Then a few rubbing movements over the remnants of soot with a soft sponge with warm water. If brown stains remain, remove them with a mild abrasive powder dishwashing detergent. It may not turn out perfect, but it will become so after regular washing of the pan after a few times.
Light cases of burning
Method number 1
Pour in vinegar and leave for 2-3 hours. It is better not to use vinegar essence because of its pungent odor. If there is no vinegar in the house, you can use citric acid or lemon juice dissolved in water, after pouring boiling water over the lemon so that it gives the maximum of its acidic properties.
Apple peel also contains acid, so it may well be useful if it is boiled in a pan where food has burnt.
Acid helps well in cases of burning a product containing sugar.
Method number 2
Soda. A good and long-familiar cleaning agent for many housewives. In mild cases of burning, it is enough to wipe the darkened place with soda using a sponge. A few minutes and the result, as they say, is obvious.
Dark stain removal
Over time, enamelware tends to become covered with a dark coating. This is especially facilitated by cooking vegetables, for example, for vinaigrette. After a few months, you will notice that your pan has lost its original snow-white appearance. We share cleaning tips to remove dark plaque.
Method one
Dishes can be cleaned with baking soda. "Dry" or boil the pan with a solution of soda for 30 minutes, as recommended above. You can use two other, more effective methods using bleaching agents.
Method two
The “Whiteness” tool, familiar to many, helps to remove plaque without much effort. Pour water into the pan so that it covers the entire surface where there is plaque. Add Whiteness to the water (2-3 tablespoons per 1 liter of water) and leave to stand for about a day. A significant part of the raid will definitely go away. A necessary condition - after the procedure with "Whiteness", boil a pot of clean water twice to avoid chemical poisoning and remove odors.
Method three
2 tablespoons of dry bleach will do the trick, but with the help of a boiling process. Add bleach to a pot filled with water, bring to a boil and let simmer for about 3 minutes. After that, it is enough to drain the water and make sure that all plaque has disappeared. Do not forget to thoroughly rinse the surface with plenty of water and be sure to boil 1-2 times with clean water for the final removal of the chemical agent. 
If you want to change enamelware to stainless steel cookware. Then we offer you an article about how, and not fall for the tricks of manufacturers.
And finally, a few tips for those who like to cook in enamelware.
- For a longer service life, the enamel of a newly purchased pan must be hardened. Fill a bowl with water and bring to a boil. Then remove from heat and let cool without pouring out the water.
- Enamel does not like sudden temperature changes, so do not put an empty pan on a hot stove. And do not pour cold water into a pan that has not yet cooled down.
- Unless necessary, do not use metal brushes, a knife or coarse abrasive powders to remove carbon deposits. This will damage the enamel. The resulting scratches will darken during subsequent cooking, which will spoil the appearance of the dishes. In addition, in place of the damaged enamel, the products will now burn constantly.
Even the most experienced housewives make mistakes while cooking. Burnt milk inside the pot is one of the most common problems in the kitchen. To wash dishes from burnt milk, use various means. The most important thing is to start cleaning immediately after the appearance of pollution. How can you clean the pot?
Salt
Fill an aluminum or stainless steel pot with cold water and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Then drain the water and fill the bottom with salt. After 2-3 hours, remove the salt from the dish and rub its inner surface with the hard side of the sponge. It is not necessary to use detergents. The enamel pan must first be set aside from the stove and allowed to cool. Do not fill it with water immediately so that the enamel does not peel off. Then follow the steps above. If the soot remains, repeat the procedure again.
Boiling
Pour hot water into a regular saucepan so that it completely covers the bottom. Add to the bowl 1 tbsp. l. soda and leave it for 1 hour. Then put the pot on the fire. After boiling the liquid, wait 10-15 minutes, and then remove the dishes from the stove. Drain the water and wash the pan with a sponge and detergent. To wash enameled utensils, prepare a solution of 1 liter of hot water and 6 tbsp. l. salt. Pour the solution into a saucepan and boil it for 40 minutes. Usually washing after is not required.
Activated carbon
This method is suitable for any type of pots. Take 10 charcoal tablets and grind them into powder. Pour it into the bottom of the dish and leave for 1 hour. Fill the product with running water and wait 30 minutes. Then just wash the pot with a sponge.
Vinegar
This method is more suitable for aluminum cookware. Pour vinegar into a saucepan, cover it with a lid and let it sit for 2 hours. Then drain the liquid and wash the dishes. Vinegar is good because, in addition to burnt milk, it will also remove darkening from aluminum products. Enameled pans are best filled with a solution of vinegar and water.
Soda
If the pan is damaged not only inside, but also outside, then it is better to boil it entirely in a soda solution. To do this, prepare a metal container of a larger volume than the affected dishes. Remove all plastic elements from the latter and prepare a solution at the rate of 500 g of soda per 5 liters of water. Place the dirty product in a container and fill it with a solution. The liquid should completely cover the pan. Bring water to a boil and leave on low heat for 2 hours. Remove the container from the heat, drain the liquid and wait for the pan to dry. Then wash it with a sponge. This method is suitable for any pans.
You can also use a mixture of baking soda and salt. Fill the bottom of the dish with it and pour a small amount of warm water inside. The result should be a thick slurry. Cover the pot with a lid and leave overnight. Then remove the mixture and boil plain water in a saucepan. Wash the item. This method is not suitable for stainless steel cookware - stains may appear on its surface.
Lemon acid
Prepare a solution: for 5 liters of water, 30 g of citric acid. Pour them into a saucepan and put on fire. Boil for about 1 hour. Drain the solution and wash the dishes. The method is only suitable for enamel pans.
If you do not want to soak dishes for a long time and prepare cleaning products yourself, then buy a special preparation. In modern hardware stores, such products are presented in a wide range. Before buying, consult with the seller and read the manufacturer's recommendations.
