It’s as daunting as it is unwanted - thick black burn stains all over your best pan. But getting a kitchen utensil that is looking rather sorry for itself back to its former glory need not be a major headache.

Instead, there are a wealth of tips and tricks to keep in mind when dealing with such a situation. There are several ways in which you could attempt to remove stubborn burnt food stains from a pan.

The first port of call would be to leave the pan soaking in warm water with a generous dollop of washing up liquid. Soaking the pan will help to loosen the burnt area making it easier to remove. After a prolonged soak, try scrubbing the pan and then re-wash as usual.

If that does not do the trick, then you will need to try another method. One option could be adding a little white vinegar and baking soda to the mix.

For this you should first fill the pan with a layer of water. Then add to this a cup of vinegar and put the pan onto the stove and heat until boiling. Once the pan comes to the boil, add two tablespoons of baking soda and leave the mixture for several minutes before emptying and scrubbing the burn stain until your pan is as good as new once again.

This may be a long, arduous task, and if it all sounds a little too much like hard work then you may instead wish to consider the benefits of hiring a professional cleaning company to take care of it. They will, of course, have all of the required cleaning materials and expertise to make light work of getting your pots and pans back to their best.
