You need the following:

  • An Andrée Jardin pan brush : specially designed for cleaning pans, no trace will resist you. Plant fibers are very resistant and naturally abrasive (do not use on non-stick / Teflon)! The 45° orientation of the fibers also makes it possible to reach angles often inaccessible with conventional brushes.
  • White vinegar: An economical and ecological household essential: it disinfects, deodorizes, descales, cleans. The icing on the cake: it is a product that is perfect for cleaning a pan whose bottom has burned, whether it is stainless steel, cast iron, non-stick or enamel.
  • Baking soda: the essential natural and ecological product for smart household cleaning: baking soda. Effective for scrubbing, descaling, cleaning and shining just about everything in the house, baking soda is also much less expensive than all the cleaning products you can find on the market.

Manual :

  1. Take baking soda
  2. Take white vinegar
  3. Take a pan brush
  4. Sprinkle baking soda on the bottom of the pan
  5. Pour a glass of white vinegar
  6. Leave to act for 60 minutes

Act quickly!

As soon as you notice that the bottom of your pan is burnt , remove its contents by recovering the part that has not been in contact with the burnt then pour water inside.

Leave to soak until ready to wash using the method above. This will prevent the material from drying out and being more difficult to remove afterwards. Thanks to the water, some of the residue will come off directly by scraping with a wooden spoon.
