    Some dish detergents can actually make the problem worse. In addition, excessive scrubbing to remove stains is likely to permanently damage our pan.

    Luckily, there are natural tricks to remove the most stubborn stains from pots and pans , even burnt stains.

    1. Detergent

    Pour a little fine salt on the detergent, covering the entire surface. Then use a dry sponge to remove all the grease effortlessly. Finally, rinse with plenty of water.

    2. Baking soda
    If salt is great against grease, baking soda is even better. You can use this remedy both to remove grease and to recover burnt pans.

    Mix two parts baking soda with 1 part alcohol until you get a smooth mixture.

    Then rub the solution on the burnt part of the pan using a sponge, then rinse and finally dry well to avoid stains.

    3. Hand soap
    If the grease is very encrusted you can try to remove it with the hand soap trick. Place the pan or pot on the stove for a few seconds, then remove it.

    Very carefully pour hand soap on the grease stains, then scrub vigorously with a steel sponge. This process should be repeated several times. If the pan is non-stick, replace the steel sponge with a regular sponge.

    Now that you know how to salvage burnt pots and pans and remove caked-on grease, you’ll think twice before throwing them away.
