Even the most seasoned chef can experience stubborn food particles gripping the bottom of their stainless steel pots and pans. Below are several tried and true methods you can use to clean stainless steel pans with stuck-on food.

Remove Burnt Food with Boiling Water

When it comes to removing burnt food from stainless steel, using boiling water may be the simplest solution. The heat from the water helps to loosen the leftover food from your pot, making it easier to remove. If you’re considering using the boiling water method, follow these steps:

1. Scrub: Begin by scrubbing away as much food as possible with a non-abrasive scrubber.
2. Add soap: Fill the pot or pan with water and a bit of dish soap.
3. Submerge food: For this method to work, you must ensure the stuck-on food is completely submerged.
4. Boil: Bring the water to a boil.
5. Remove food: Once boiling, you can use a spatula to scrape away excess food with ease.

Remove Burnt Food with Vinegar and Baking Soda

For this method, you’ll need two common cleaning ingredients: vinegar and baking soda. Vinegar is an effective cleaning solution for stuck-on foods thanks to its acetic acid content, which helps break down tough food particles.

1. Add water: Fill the bottom of your pot or pan with water, enough to cover the stuck-on food.
2. Boil: Once the pot or pan has been filled with water, add 1 cup of vinegar and bring water to a boil.
3. Remove from heat: Once boiling, remove from the heat and add in 2 Tbsp. of baking soda.
4. Mix: Briefly mix together and empty the pan.
5. Scrub: Use a non-abrasive sponge or scrubber to rid the pan of any remaining food particles.

Remove Burnt Food with Cream of Tartar

While it’s typically less available on-hand than baking soda, cream of tartar is an effective tool for ridding stainless steel pans of stuck-on food. Simply mix cream of tartar with water to create a paste and cover affected areas in your pan. Allow the mixture to soak overnight in the pan. Rinse and scrub the pan out to remove any remaining particles.

Removing Burnt Food with Salt and Lime

Salt and lime can be combined to create an effective cleaning solution when it comes to removing burnt food. The acidity of the lime works to combat tough particles burned onto the pan, while the coarseness of the salt makes it easier to scrub away loose food. To remove stuck-on food using salt and lime, follow these steps:

1. Add salt and lime: Squeeze lime juice into your pan and add salt.
2. Let the mixture rest: Allow the mixture to rest in the pan for several minutes.
3. Add more salt: Sprinkle more salt into the pan.
4. Scrub: Immediately begin scrubbing with a non-abrasive scrubber.
5. Rinse: Once excess food is removed, rinse and dry as normal.
