How to Remove Burned Oil From a Pan
- 1). Wash the pan thoroughly in concentrated liquid dish soap and hot water with a nonabrasive scrubber. Apply medium pressure and scrub in small, tight circles.
- 2). Sprinkle baking soda all over the surface of the burned oil and scrub it into the residue with the damp nonabrasive scrubber. Add water to the scrubber and continue to scrub until all the burned grease is covered in a baking soda paste.
- 3). Set the pan on a flat surface and allow the baking soda paste to dry completely. This may take as long as a couple of hours, depending on the size of the pan and the temperature and humidity of the environment.
- 4). Clean the baking soda crust from the pan under hot running water with the nonabrasive scrubber. Check the pan. If all the oil residue is gone, proceed to Step 5. If not, repeat Steps 2 through 4 until all the burned oil is removed.
- 5). Give the pan a final cleaning using the scrubber, concentrated liquid dish soap and hot running water before using it.
