The procedures listed below will keep your pots and pans bright and free of black or yellow stains.
When cooking on a gas stove, the pot frequently gets black due to dirt. If the pot is not thoroughly cleaned after cooking, the oil residue adhered to the bottom will burn black, making it unclean. The more you use it, the thicker and more persistent the layer of dirt becomes.
As a result, after using the pot, properly clean it to eliminate any debris or grease.
If the pot is covered in black sludge, cleaning will be more difficult. Cleaning the pot after each use is an efficient way to keep it from turning black.
Check the gas tank
If the gas stove turns red, it may be because the gas tank is running out. You can check the gauge on the gas tank or shake the tank lightly to see if there is not much gas left in the tank.
- In addition, if you buy a poor quality gas cylinder that does not guarantee quality, it will also cause the flame to burn red and the pot to turn black.
- Therefore, you should use a gas cylinder in a reputable place that guarantees quality.
In addition, you should also clean the gas stove regularly to remove dirt and grease stuck to the stove and the fire holes. This is also one of the reasons why the flame turns red and the bottom of the pot turns black.
How to clean a black pot bottom
Many people use iron balls and sand to scour the black bottom of their pots. This procedure works immediately but leaves numerous scratches on the pot’s bottom. Later, the pot will be more prone to dirt.
Others use baking soda to uniformly coat the bottom of the pot, then pour vinegar on top and let it sit for a while before washing. This procedure is also effective, albeit not particularly effective.
The most effective and simple way to clean dirt on the bottom of the pot is to use dishwashing tablets or powder.
- First, prepare a pot of boiling water and mix 1 dishwashing tablet/dishwashing powder into it. Soak the pot in the solution.
- If the stains are not too many, you only need to soak for about 1-2 hours. If the stains are longer, you should soak the pot in water overnight.
- After soaking and washing, you just need to take the pot out and scrub it with a sponge normally used to wash dishes.
Dishwashing tablets and powder contain a variety of oxidizing chemicals that can effectively remove burnt marks and grease that have accumulated on the bottom of the pot over time.
