Every housewife probably keeps "grandmother's" old cast-iron dishes somewhere in the kitchen. The cast iron that you can buy now does not compare with the quality that was before. But how do you cook delicious meals when the dishes are covered with an unwashed, burnt layer of fat? And is it possible to give your beloved frying pan a second life? There is an exit.
For cleaning you will need:
- universal PVA glue - ordinary medium jar
- laundry soap 72%
How to clean pans and pots:
To begin with, grate the laundry soap on a coarse grater. Pour water into a large container and bring it almost to a boil. At this moment, we reduce the heat and pour grated soap and PVA glue into the basin. Mix everything thoroughly to dissolve the soap. Dip the old pan into the resulting solution. Next, we cook it for 2 hours over medium heat, adding water when part of the solution evaporates.
After 2 hours, drain the entire solution and cool the pan itself a little under running water. The solution makes the fat itself very soft and in some places it begins to crumble. We bring it to a perfect shine by ordinary cleaning with a metal sponge. The most effective and easiest way to clean old pots and pans, and most importantly - not expensive!
