Methods for cleaning an aluminum pan

Methods for cleaning an aluminum pan depend on the type and degree of contamination of the dishes. Before we talk in detail about how you can remove scale inside the pan and from its outside, as well as how you can effectively clean carbon deposits at home, we will look at common ways to wash an aluminum pan:

• in order to get rid of greasy spots, it is not necessary to resort to household chemicals, it is enough to rub the contaminated area with ordinary mustard powder, and then rinse the pan warm water;
• if over time the aluminum pan has darkened, you can restore its color and shine with table vinegar: just rub the surface of the dish inside and out with a cotton swab dipped in nine percent vinegar;
• for everyday effective washing of aluminum pans, you can use the following solution: a mixture of grated soap, liters warm water and a couple of teaspoons of ammonia;
• no less effective in the fight against any contamination on an aluminum pan at home will be Coca-Cola, which can even cope with persistent, old soot.

Now let's look at special cases of aluminum pan contamination and how to clean them.

Black

Over time, the bottom of any aluminum pan turns black. This is natural, and you should not worry that you are somehow taking care of the dishes incorrectly. To get rid of blackness on aluminum, we recommend the following folk remedies:

1. Mustard powder is not only great for removing greasy stains and plaque from aluminum cookware, but it can also remove blackness from the bottom of the pot. To do this, mix in a deep container about two tablespoons of mustard powder without a slide, the same amount of table salt and table vinegar. Mix the ingredients thoroughly, and then apply the paste to the problem area. After 15-20 minutes, rinse the aluminum pan under warm running water. The effect will really surprise you!
2. In the event that blackness appears inside the pan, it is necessary to boil fresh sorrel leaves in it. To do this, put the greens in a bowl, fill with water and send to the stove. Bringing the liquid to a boil, cover the pan with a lid and boil the broth for half an hour, then it can be drained into the sink, and the used leaves thrown into the trash can.
3. Acids can be used to clean blackness on aluminum plant origin. For example, to clean the pan, you can take homemade cucumber pickle or sour milk. Boiling such a liquid is not worth it, but you can leave it in a pan that needs to be cleaned overnight. After the specified time, the dishes must be thoroughly washed.
4. Citric acid will help to cope with the blackness at the bottom of the pan. Pour water into the dishes, pour the contents of 1-2 packages there citric acid and bring the liquid to a boil. It is necessary to boil water with acid from 15 to 30 minutes (the time depends on the degree of darkening of the bottom).
5. If you want to definitely clean the bottom of blackness, you can resort to using a factory cleaning agent. However, make sure that the selected product does not contain aggressive chemicals and abrasive particles.
6. Another option effective cleaning darkened aluminum or just spots on the surface of the dishes - this is the use of cream of tartar. To do this, pour hot water into the pan, dissolve a couple of tablespoons of the powder in it and insist the liquid for 10-15 minutes. After the procedure, the pan should simply be rinsed with warm water.

All of the methods described above will not only help remove browning from aluminum pans, but will also return the dishes to their original color and shine.

Nagar

Nagar is one of the common contaminants not only for aluminum pans, but also for other utensils. It is very difficult to deal with such contamination, given that hard sponges and brushes cannot be used to remove carbon deposits from an aluminum surface. In the table below, we have presented the most simple and effective folk ways cleaning carbon deposits from aluminum pans at home.

Means	Mode of application
	Few people know, but you can remove a small layer of soot from an aluminum pan with an ordinary apple. To do this, you need to cut the fruit in half, and then carefully rub the half of the place that needs cleaning. As in the case of sorrel, the apple is a source of vegetable acid, so without harm to aluminum, it can help clean the pan from soot. The pan rubbed with an apple should be left for a while, and then rinse the dishes in soapy water.
Onion	Another effective method to get rid of soot inside an aluminum pan is to boil a few bulbs. Take 4-5 pieces of small onions, cut them in half and put them in a saucepan. After pouring water over the vegetables, bring the liquid to a boil, and then reduce the gas to a minimum. After boiling water with onions under the lid for half an hour, drain the liquid into the sink and discard the onions. After that, rinse the aluminum pan thoroughly with detergent.
Soap and Vinegar	This method will help remove carbon deposits both inside and outside the aluminum pan. For cleaning, we need another enamel pan, which will be larger in volume than the one that we will clean. We get a small piece of laundry soap and rub it on a grater. Pour the resulting shavings into an enameled pan, add half a cup of table vinegar and about a liter there. clean water. We insert an aluminum pan into an enameled dish, send the design to the stove. We bring the liquid in the container to a boil, after which we reduce the fire, cover the enameled pan with a lid and boil the aluminum utensils for 30 minutes. If necessary, the procedure time can be increased. At the end of the process, the water must be drained, and the pans thoroughly washed with detergent.
food salt	This method consists in using edible salt to remove carbon deposits from an aluminum pan. At the same time, you can make both a saline solution and an equally effective paste. Finely ground edible salt should be mixed with warm water so that a slurry is obtained, and then rub the resulting mass into soot. In a saline solution, the pan should be boiled for 20-30 minutes. Then the dishes must be thoroughly washed with liquid soap and rinsed.
	This recipe is suitable for those cases if the soot is very serious and the previous methods could not cope with it. First of all, boil 2-3 liters of water in a saucepan, then add two teaspoons of glue, as well as a third of laundry soap grated on a fine grater, to the bubbling liquid. Close the pot tightly with a lid to keep out harmful fumes. Boil water on low heat for 30-50 minutes, depending on the layer of soot. If the carbon is on the outside of the pan, you can use an additional larger pot, as is the case with washing off the carbon with soap and vinegar.
dishwasher tablet	This is not a very popular method, but this option is also possible if the carbon deposits on the aluminum pan are not too old and persistent. Pour a little water into the dishes so that it covers the contaminated area, add a tablet and bring the liquid to a boil. Boil the liquid for 25-30 minutes, then the water can be drained, and the pan washed and rinsed.
Dentifrice	This folk method should be used only as a last resort, if the soot is very persistent and cannot be removed in another way. In the evening, it is necessary to cover the problem areas of the aluminum pan with powder, spray clean warm water on top and leave the dishes to infuse overnight. During this time, the soot will lag behind the walls of the pan by itself, it will simply be removed using a silicone cloth or an ordinary spatula made of wood or plastic.

Carbon deposits are very difficult to clean from an aluminum surface without damaging the pan, so try to avoid a persistent and dense layer of such contamination.

Scale

Scale is the type of pollution that affects almost all the dishes in the house, whether it be pots, stewpans or kettles, if water is brought to a boil in them. The easiest, most popular and most effective way to remove scale from an enameled surface involves the use of citric acid. The sequence of actions is as follows:

1. Get citric acid and pour the contents of one pack into an aluminum pan with scale, pour the crystals with about one liter of clean water.
2. We put the container on the stove, bring the liquid to a boil, covering the pan with a lid.
3. As soon as the liquid begins to boil, the lid can be removed, allowing the water to boil for 6-8 minutes. After that, the gas can be turned off.
4. Once the water in the pot has cooled, drain the liquid down the sink.
5. Then boil the water several times in a saucepan, you can even with detergent.

After such simple actions, there will be no trace of scale on the aluminum surface. Of course, this is taking into account the fact that the pollution is not old. If the scale has covered the walls of the pan with a dense layer, you will have to resort to more serious methods of removing it.

You can remove scale from the walls of an aluminum pan using 3% table vinegar, which must be boiled. The disadvantage of this method is the smell, which will be quite unpleasant and persistent. After such a procedure, the pan will have to be boiled more than once with clean water, adding liquid soap or other detergent.

Helpful advice! If, after cleaning the scale with vinegar, the pan still has bad smell, try to use dried citrus peels. To do this, it is enough to pour the crusts into a saucepan, pour them with water and heat slightly. Pleasant and natural citrus aroma is guaranteed!

• before washing or cleaning an aluminum pan, let the dishes cool completely, otherwise the heated material will deform under the action of water;
• it is strictly forbidden to use aluminum dishes for preparing home preservation for the winter, despite the fact that some folk methods involve the use of brine as a cleaning agent, boiling a liquid with a high acid content will harm a new pan;
• in an aluminum pan it is very convenient to cook soups or cook cereals, but you should not leave food in such dishes, and even more so send cooked food for storage in the refrigerator: this way you will ruin both food and containers;
• in order not to scratch the walls of the pan, use silicone, wooden or plastic spatulas to mix the ingredients during cooking;
• after washing the aluminum pan, immediately wipe the container dry with a clean cloth, because long exposure to water will lead to the formation of dark spots;
• store such utensils in a suitable place, such as a dry and clean kitchen cabinet.

By adhering to these rules, you will never wash a dark coating, a dense layer of soot or fat, and scale from an aluminum pan!
