Have you ever taken a long phone call only
to realize that you completely forgot about what you were cooking and burned a pan so badly that
it seemed beyond repair? Well, rather than chuck it in the trash bin, or even the recycling bin, for that
matter, try one of these earth-friendly tricks to get your pan shiny and like new again. Depending on how badly
you burned it, one or a combination of methods, most of which use common ingredients
found in your kitchen pantry, should work. Clean your pan with some baking soda and water.
Simply simmer for a while then cool. Let it soak overnight
if necessary. Another alternative is to leave a paste of baking soda and green dish soap in your pan for several hours.
Wash your pan well and if anything remains, sprinkle some more baking soda or a DIY aromatherapy cleanser into the pan and scrub away.
