Ammonia is an excellent tool for removing burnt-on grease. It softens even the most stubborn deposits without the need for mechanical scrubbing. Here's what you need to do:

2. Wrap the pan in the towel and place it in one of the bags.

6. Leave the frying pan in the packed form for an hour. During this time, carbon deposits and grease will soften under the influence of ammonia vapors and easily peel off the surface.
7. After the time has elapsed, remove the frying pan from the bag, wash it thoroughly with dishwashing gel, and rinse it in plenty of water.
8. The grease will come off effortlessly, and the cookware will shine clean again.
