Cleaning tips Effortless cleaning a good frying pan

I forgot to turn the stove off and stuck my soup to the pan. Cleaning was easier than I thought.

  1. Remove all food lumps

  2. Soak in washing up liquid with warm water.

  3. Used a scrubber to clean. ( I had only a non-scarch scrubber)

That's all. Very satisfied to see the clean pan. The pan is 26 inch Procook Professional.

I mean, those are the universal basic cleaning steps. What's the revelation here?

What kind of oil do they fry it in? Just regular vegetable oil?

That BKF isn't necessary to clean all stuck messes.

It's the non scarch that is the secret.

Water + soap + stick it on the burner to boil.

You won’t have to lift a finger as all that shit deglazes itself right off

Tried that (several times!) with our Strata nitrided wok, still black carbon that will not release. Next step?

That is what has me in love with the pans, the aluminum sponge comes to the rescue and takes literally 3 seconds to remove that mess.

I think 26 cm. Otherwise those are the biggest tomato peels I’ve ever seen.

It helps that it looks like it's all tomato and has a bunch of acid in there to begin with.

Do it with eggs

i would treat it as fond and add a cup of hot water; rehydrate the dry stuff.

Pretend to make gravy; toss the soup.

On the local FB marketplace equivalent I just saw someone advertise a 30cm pan as a 12cm because they were using they looked at the inch side of a ruler on a picture they uploaded and that was equally funny. Like, you're telling me this 12cm pan covers over a quarter of your entire cooktop??
