With a new frying pan, frying pan or frying pan, an egg or veggie burger glides right through the pan and even a pancake can fly out with a graceful swish. But after a while - or after frying a little too enthusiastically - that bottom cakes a bit. The result: that beautiful pan (sometimes with sensitive non-stick coating) no longer works as well as it did in the beginning. But there is a trick to get that caked-on pan sparkling clean again!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Annoying, a caked pan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Caked pans unfortunately come in all shapes and sizes, but mostly they are frying pans, casseroles and appetisers that can get a bit caked over time. You want to get that bottom back like new, but of course you don't want to damage the pan. Especially with non-stick pans, you need to extra care<\/a> are. It is best to do the cleaning method below regularly. This will prevent it from caking too much and the pan will stay good and beautiful. If the damage is already done and the pan is quite dirty, you can treat the pan daily in the way below until it is completely clean again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safe pans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On our search for eco-friendly pans, Saskia has an extensive article written<\/a>. When she found out in 2021 that we still had many old pans with a now-banned PFAS as a non-stick coating, we started looking for better alternatives at home. We then ended up with pans with a ceramic non-stick coating, stainless steel pans and a cast iron pan, among others. I am very happy with this new set, but due to intensive use, they can sometimes get quite caked. This can sometimes be so severe that you can't just take it off with a little suds and a sponge. You then have to come up with stronger guns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
