Your frying pan could last much longer!
The invention of non-stick frying pans has
helped many a household around the world. It saves a lot of irritation when you
can actually bake pancakes without them sticking to the bottom of the pan. Yet
that non-stick coating does wear down over time and then it’s back to caked on
food in your pan. Many of us will probably throw out the pan in question,
thinking it’s past its shelf life, and buy a new one, but that’s really a
waste. This trick will save you from having to buy a new pan!
There’s no need to throw out your frying pan
anymore!
Table salt
This trick is very simple and you already own
the solution. You’ve probably got it waiting for you in a cupboard in your
kitchen: it’s salt! All you need to do is cover the non-stick coating of the
frying pan in question with a generous layer of table salt. Put the pan on the
stove and heat it up until it’s nice and hot. Then, all that’s left to do is
rinse off the salt and dry the pan. You’ll see that the food you prepare in
your pan will stick much less quickly now!
Dishwashing
To prevent your non-stick coating from wearing
away, you could decide to no longer clean your pan with dish soap. Dish soap
will wear down that nice coating we all love and that’s exactly what you want
to prevent from happening. Just use some hot water and a dishwashing brush and
then dry the pan with a paper towel. This way, you’ll clean away the grease,
but leave the non-stick coating intact!
Besides protecting the non-stick coating of
your frying pan, salt can do much more for your cooking ware. Go on to the next

Burnt pan
It happens to the best of us. The burner was
on a tad too high or you got distracted by the phone or your child. Before you
know it the kitchen starts to smell and fill with smoke. Your potatoes are
looking rather black or that nice steak has turned into a piece of rubber. Your
food can’t be saved, but there’s no reason to throw the pan away with it.
There’s an easy trick to remove all the burnt bits from the pan.
Clean
To clean the burnt pan, all you need is some
salt. Simply sprinkle a generous layer of salt in the burnt pan and add a
little water to cover the bottom of the pan. Put the pan on low heat and let
the water simmer for 15 minutes. Thanks to the boiling water and the salt, the
burnt bits will loosen quickly. After 15 minutes you’ll be able to easily
remove all the scorched bits without any elbow grease.
Fire
Besides protecting the pans non-stick coating
or cleaning it, salt is great to have within arms reach during cooking. We
certainly hope this won’t happen to you, but it could happen: a grease fire
while you’re cooking. This type of fire can happen when you’ve got oil in your
pan. Throwing water on oil is never a good idea, which is why you should always
put the lid on the pan in case of a grease fire. Don’t have a lid nearby? Then
grab your table salt. Pour this over the flames in the pan until they’ve been
extinguished. The salt will get rid of the flames very quickly!
