Fat -burned fat removal remains one of the most persistent challenges in the domestic routine. Although there are several approaches to dealing with this problem, a particular method has been capturing attention by promising effective results with a surprisingly simple application.
Trick with bicarbonate, salt and detergent
One of the most recurring methods combines salt, detergent and baking soda, as the British site clarifies which details various ways to use baking soda and vinegar in skillets of different materials.
In these cases, salt works as a natural abrasive, bicarbonate acts as alkaline that helps to release embarrassed dirt and the detergent facilitates the dissolution of fat. No special preparation is required: just cover the burnt area with these elements and wait a few minutes before washing with a suitable sponge. According to the British website, a variation with cleaning vinegar is also suggested. The addition of vinegar to bicarbonate causes an effervescent reaction, which helps raise inlaid waste, especially in stainless steel skillets.
These home approaches do not replace the instructions provided by manufacturers, especially in models with specific coatings. Ceramic layers, for example, may react poorly to high temperatures or more acidic, even natural compounds. Therefore, it should always be confirmed the indications present at the base or packaging of the utensil.

Not all materials react in the same way
The effectiveness of these methods depends on the type of skillet. Cast iron, for example, should be cleaned with brush and warm water, avoiding soap. After washing, the utensil should be completely dry and ideally heated on the stove before it is stored as a way to avoid rust. Nonishing coating skillets require extra care: they should be cleaned with smooth detergent and soft sponges, avoiding any abrasive element.
Drying: a often ignored step
Drying the skillet well after washing is essential. In sensitive materials such as iron, residual moisture can cause corrosion. Even in stainless steel, proper drying avoids the appearance of stains. It is recommended to use dry cloths and, whenever possible, the fast heating of the cleaner clean to ensure that there are no water residues.
These practices are particularly useful in intensive contexts, such as familiar kitchens where daily preparation requires utensils to be ready to be reused. The speed with which these techniques act can reduce the time of immobilization of the skillets and avoid premature substitutions.
In addition, the use of affordable ingredients allows to circumvent the purchase of specialized cleaning products, often more expensive or with more aggressive chemical compositions. In this sense, traditional methods gain space from those looking for economic solutions and easy to apply in everyday life.
Still, the combination of elements such as cleaning vinegar, baking soda and salt continues to appear among the most referred to practical domestic maintenance guides. Its application, in addition to being economical, allows to reduce the use of industrialized products, with advantages for both the conservation of utensils and for the home environment.
