Like new: an ingenious way to clean pans

New frying pans shine beautifully and can serve as a decoration in the kitchen. But as soon as you use them a few times, stains and burnt fat appear on the surface - it's inevitable and you have to constantly deal with such contaminants.

But what if you don't want to put a lot of effort into cleaning and are afraid of leaving scratches on the pan? TikTok blogger @jennylefamily shared a secret remedy she learned from her grandmother.

To prepare the miracle mixture, you will need, first of all, a half-liter bottle of Coca Cola. It is better to take the one without sugar. Pour the fizzy drink into a spray bottle. Add two tablespoons of any toothpaste, preferably the cheapest, and about the same amount of dishwashing liquid. Screw on the cap and shake the bottle thoroughly to mix all the ingredients well.

The dishwashing liquid in this mixture is, of course, responsible for degreasing. Toothpaste serves as a soft abrasive. The role of Coca Cola is to be an acidic solvent. Due to the weak acid in its composition, it easily destroys even stubborn dirt.

All you have to do to clean your pans (as well as pots and any other cookware) is apply the mixture to the burnt grease stains, rub them off and admire the shine of the clean surface. To get rid of really stubborn stains, you can leave the mixture on for 10-15 minutes. During this time, it will penetrate deeply enough into the burnt dirt and make it soft and pliable. You will be able to remove it quite easily.
