Man, I’ve been doing it wrong this entire time

Some people turn to harsh chemical cleaners in a desperate attempt to save their cookware. While these may dissolve the burnt-on residue, they can also leave behind toxic residues and fumes, particularly if they’re not fully rinsed off. Moreover, harsh chemicals can damage the pan’s surface over time, especially on non-stick or enamel-coated cookware.
The Fastest and Most Effective Method
Here’s the method that will save your pan without damaging it, and it’s likely you already have everything you need in your kitchen.
Materials Needed:
Baking soda
White vinegar
Water
Soft sponge or non-abrasive scrubber
Wooden or silicone spatula (optional)

Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Cool the Pan
Before starting, make sure your pan is cool enough to handle. Cleaning a hot pan not only risks burns but can also warp the metal, particularly if you introduce cold water to a hot surface.
2. Add Water
Fill the burnt pan with enough water to cover the burnt area. You don’t need to fill the entire pan, just enough to submerge the charred section.
3. Add Vinegar
