Stop Buying Pan Cleaners! Try This 2-Ingredient Paste

Before you replace a burnt pan or buy another specialty cleaner, see how baking soda and dish soap are used to tackle baked-on grease on the outside of an old aluminum pot. This video covers the hot-water preparation, a simple cleaning paste, and a wooden-skewer trick for the awkward grease around the handles. THE PASTE RECIPE • 2 level tablespoons baking soda • 1 level tablespoon ordinary liquid dish soap • A little cold water, added a teaspoon at a time Mix into a thick, spreadable paste. Start with less water and adjust gradually. COOKWARE CARE This demonstration focuses on uncoated aluminum exteriors. Follow your cookware manufacturer’s instructions and test a small, hidden area first. Abrasive pastes and scouring pads can scratch. Do not apply this method to nonstick or coated surfaces. Let hot cookware cool before handling and cleaning. How old is the oldest pan in your kitchen, and who did it come from? Tell us in the comments.
