Restore burnt stainless steel pots with this chemical-free cleaning hack

The most unexpected 2-minute cleaning hack we’ve ever seen. - by Laura Barry

Restore burnt stainless steel pots with this chemical-free cleaning hack

 Trying to restore a burnt stainless steel pot can feel like an impossible task. Despite scrubbing and using strong cleaning products, they rarely come up looking as good as new. However, Italian chef and Youtuber Pasquale Sciarappa has a secret hack to keeping his commercial cookware schmick.

Sharing a video of the hack called ‘Cleaning my pot with dirt’ on his Youtube channel OrsaraRecipes, Pasquale uses dirt from the garden mixed with a little water to scrub his burnt and stained steel pot. After a few seconds of scrubbing, he rinses the pot with water and it comes up sparkling clean, looking like new.

In the video, the Italian chef explain that he was taught the cleaning technique in Orsara di Puglia, and explained that it is much more effective than using products such as ‘Ajax’. As a professional chef, we assume this guy knows what he’s talking about.

Since posting the video it has gone viral, racking up 13,000 reactions and 11,000 shares across the web. If you want to see the hack in action for yourself, watch the video below!
