How to clean a frying pan?
Follow the simple steps to clean your frying pan so it looks new and shiny again.
- First of all, make sure the surface is cool enough to touch before starting on anything else; otherwise, you’ll just end up burning yourself.
- Next, grab some dish soap and hot water (or boil water in the pot if it’s already been used). Then add cold water until the soap has dissolved completely into the liquid. Stir it around so that every part of the pot gets wet—including any nooks or crannies where food can stick.
- Add a tablespoon of baking soda to the hot water and stir it around. The acid in the baking soda will help dissolve any food that you’ve left on the pan, and help give your pan an extra cleaning boost.
- If there is food stuck on your frying pan, start scrubbing as hard as you can with a sponge and some soapy water. Let the pot sit for a few minutes, then hit it with some hot water again to help loosen any food particles that aren’t coming off on their own. Repeat this step until you’ve managed to get all of the sticky food off of the pan.
- Once your nonstick frying pan looks clean, rinse it out with some cold water to get rid of any leftover soap and baking soda.
- Wash off your frying pan with warm, soapy water once more to make sure that there’s no residue left on the pan. Just like before, let it sit for a few minutes and scrub away any food that doesn’t come off easily.
- Dry your frying pan by slipping a dishtowel in between the handle and your palm as you hold onto it.
Cleaning tips for frying pans!
- Never soak cold grease pans
- Don’t use very hot water
- For a quick clean-up, wipe the greased pan with a kitchen roll and wash in warm soapy water
- Clean greasy pans under running water immediately after use. This will prevent food sticking and make cleaning easier.
- When thoroughly cool, remove all food residues by washing in hot soapy water or in the dishwasher if it has a “sanitize” setting. Never put greasy pans straight into a hot dishwasher
- After cleaning, dry the frying pan thoroughly or place it on the stove with no heat until all moisture has evaporated to avoid rusting.

How do you get burnt oil off a pan?
If you have burnt oil or grease on your frying pan or any other cooking utensil, the first thing that you should do is to pour some dishwashing liquid and water into the pan. Let it soak overnight.
You can also put baking soda in a boiling pot of water then pour the mixture into your pan.
Alternatively, boil some water with baking soda in it and pour it over the burnt food.
When you are done soaking the pan, use a scrubber to remove all of the burnt stuff from the utensil.
How do you remove grime from a frying pan?
In order to remove grime from a frying pan, first, find out how dirty it is. If the pan isn’t very dirty, start by scraping off any food or grease from the surface using a metal spatula.
Next, scrub the surface using a soapy sponge and rinse with water. If this doesn’t work, you’ll need to scrub with a dish brush and scouring powder before rinsing it in warm water and scrubbing with baking soda before rinsing it again in warm water.
There are various methods for cleaning a frying pan, but this is the most effective way to remove grime.
How do you clean a badly burnt stainless steel frying pan?
Put a pot of water on the stove. Bring it to a boil and place the pan in for about 15 minutes.
Wait for the pan to cool down to room temperature before washing with soap and warm water and dry it immediately.
How do you clean a burnt nonstick pan?
I would recommend scraping off the burnt food from the pan with a spatula and then rinse it to remove the burned material. You should then fill the pan with enough water so that it reaches halfway up the sides. Bring the water to a boil and let it stay for a few minutes. The excessive heat will break down any burnt particles that are stuck to the pan, increasing its capacity for soaking in water.
You can boil water and lemon juice on low heat (until boiling) in order to kill germs or you can soak your pan in bleach overnight. However, this method won’t get rid of bad smells coming from your burnt pans.
After boiling, you can use dishwater detergent and put some dishwashing liquid in the water and put some cold water into it. (I recommend putting salt on your burnt pan if you want to remove the unwanted grease.)
Another solution is tea tree oil. Boil your pan with 1 or 2 spoons of tea tree oil for 20 minutes in order to kill germs and bacteria, then add 1 cup of vinegar and 1 cup of water, nothing else. Then let it stay for a few hours or overnight. The acid in the vinegar dissolves and loosens burned food while the tea tree oil kills germs & bacteria without using anything too harsh.
Conclusion:
The methods of cleaning a frying pan range from using dishwashing liquid and water to boiling it in order to remove grime. You may need different techniques depending on the severity of your burnt oil or grease situation, but there are plenty of ways for you to clean your frying pan like new with just some warm soapy water!
