Servings

Soda

4 tbsp
Liquid dishwashing detergent

1 tbsp
Water

3 l

Preparation

Step 1

Select a clean saucepan. It should be larger than the dirty container. Fill it with water.

Step 2

Add baking soda to the water.

Step 3

Add dishwashing liquid and stir gently.

Step 4

Place the pan over medium heat.

Step 5

Place the saucepan with the remaining burnt caramel into the mixture.

Step 6

Bring the baking soda solution to a boil. Do not move away from the pan under any circumstances, as its contents will expand significantly after boiling and may overflow.

Step 7

Once boiling, reduce heat and let simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 8

Now, using a spoon or wooden spatula, scrape away any remaining caramel from the sides of the saucepan. This is easy to do; the residue comes off easily from the surface.

Step 9

To restore your dishes to their original cleanliness and appeal, remove them from hot water and scrub them in the sink using baking soda and the rough side of a kitchen sponge.

Step 10

At the final stage, simply rinse the saucepan with water to remove any remaining baking soda and dirt. Now your cookware is free of stubborn caramel stains and sparkling clean!
