Burnt pans can be a misery to clean, usually requiring a lot of time and elbow grease.

If you’ve tried unsuccessfully to get a burnt pan clean, you might like to try this easy method, recommended by the Good Housekeeping Institute.

  1. Fill the cooled pan with water and add a dishwasher tablet or one tablespoon of enzyme washing powder.
  2. Bring the pan to the boil.
  3. Allow it to simmer for around 10 minutes. The burnt bits should lift away.
  4. Repeat until it’s sparkling clean, then wash as normal.

After an easier method? Try this clever trick.
