Teflon pans have become indispensable for cooking, baking, and frying. It’s the perfect material for high-heat cooking because it has a nonstick coating. Unfortunately, this coating can be damaged by extreme heat, so it is important to know how to clean a burnt Teflon pan without damaging it.
Cleaning a Burnt Non-Stick Pan
Nonstick cookware has become very popular in recent years. It is much safer than regular nonstick cookware because it doesn’t scratch like regular nonstick cookware. The only problem with nonstick cookware is that it can get dirty if you don’t take care of it properly. To keep your nonstick pans looking their best, follow these simple instructions.
Clean Nonstick Pans to Remove Food Residue
I’m sure you’ve heard the saying that you should always clean your pan after cooking with oil. While this is true, other methods for removing food residue without soap exist.
Easy Non-Stick Pan Cleaning
If you’ve ever used a nonstick pan, you know it’s not easy to clean. Many people have had issues with them because they do not clean them properly. However, this method can be used for all types of pans. I have also found that this works well for cleaning my cast iron pans, which are not recommended for use with vinegar.
If you’re using a nonstick pan, you’ll want to remove it from the heat before you start cleaning it. If you don’t, you’ll have to use soap, water, and possibly a scrubber, which could damage your pan.
Cleaning Nonstick Pans with Soap and Water
I don’t recommend using this method on aluminum pans, as they are prone to rusting and becoming brittle over time. I prefer to use baking soda and vinegar instead.

Soap is not always the best way to clean your pots and pans. Using a degreaser can be a time-saving alternative, especially if you have a busy schedule. Also, if you have a lot of pots or pans to clean, it may be more efficient to use a degreaser than to wash them by hand.
Baking soda can be used to remove stubborn stains from your pots. If you’re having trouble with stubborn stains on your dishes or pans, use a half cup of baking soda mixed with one cup of water. Use a plastic or stainless steel strainer to strain the mixture, and then rinse the pan thoroughly with cold water. Dry with a paper towel and apply a coat of cooking oil to help prevent any future staining.

Nonstick Pan Baking Soda Cleaner
This recipe is my go-to cleaning solution for my nonstick pans.
To remove stubborn stains from your oven, fill the bottom of the oven with baking soda and let it sit overnight. The next day, wipe the baking soda away, and you’re good to go.
Conclusion:
A baking soda mixture is a good way to clean your oven, especially if you have a nonstick surface. Just remember to ensure your oven is empty before you begin this process. There is no harm in leaving baking soda in your oven for a long time, but you should only use it if your oven has been cleaned out already. Another thing to remember is that you shouldn’t use baking soda on aluminum pans.
This works well for baked food because baking soda contains a lot of sodium. In addition, baking soda dissolves in water, which makes this cleaning solution work well. The baking soda also creates a pH balance in the water left in your oven.
