Mercadona offers you the definitive remedy against fat in pans for free
One of the most tedious and frustrating household chores is cleaning pans. These are an essential element in the kitchen, but keeping them in good condition is difficult because they tend to get dirty and greasy quickly, especially around the base, giving them a sloppy and sticky appearance. Throwing them away and buying new ones when they turn black can tempt us, but it is not necessary, because making them shine again is possible using products that we all have at home.
There are a few tricks to keep pans looking like new from day one, like not running cold water on them while they're still hot to keep them non-stick. If it's too late for you and yours have a film of fat that seems impossible to remove, don't get rid of them: here are some tricks to make them shiny.
In addition to removing dirt, this option will remove bad odors and disinfect the utensil. From the Mercadona account on Instagram they explain that what you have to do is
For the non-stick surface: common salt
This trick will not only clean the pan, but it will also enhance its non-stick properties. Put the clean pan on the heat. When it is hot, add three large tablespoons of salt and wait approximately three minutes. When the salt has turned dark, remove the pan from the heat to cool, then wipe off any residue with a dry cloth.For when food sticks to you: fabric softener
It has happened to all of us: you are careless for a moment and the food has stuck to the pan. The black film that forms may seem difficult to remove, but it won't be a problem if you have fabric softener on hand. Put a little on the area in question and let it sit for two to three hours. After this time, the dirt will have descaled. To finish, rinse the pan well with plenty of soap and water to make sure there are no traces of fabric softener.
