If heavily soiled, repeat the procedure.

Prepare a solution of water (1 l) and salt (5–6 tbsp.).
Boil the pan with the salt solution for about an hour (at least 45 minutes).
Do the washing up.

This method is well suited when it is necessary to remove food residues.

For products made of aluminum and stainless steel

Immediately after burning, pour some cold water into the container.
After 20–30 minutes, pour out the water and fill the bottom with salt.
After 2-3 hours, wash the pan with warm water.

To cover with a lid.
After 2 hours, wash and, if necessary, use detergent.

Other products that remove burn marks

You can find cleaning products not only in the kitchen.

If you realize it almost in time and the dishes are only slightly burnt, look into the bathroom. We will need soap. Fine, if you use liquid soap, you need to mix it with hot water. And if not, you will have to make a saturated soap solution.

Pour the soap solution into the dishes.
Boil for 15 minutes.
Wait until the container cools down and wash it.

A first aid kit may also come in handy. More precisely, one of her drugs - Activated carbon. Young mothers especially often resort to its help: the drug copes well with burnt milk or milk porridge.
