Equipment

  • Heat Source
  • Spatula

Materials

  • 5 Cup Water Use enough to cover bottom of pot or pan.

Instructions

  • Take your really dirty or bunt pan and place it over a heat source, stove top, grill etc.
  • Pour in enough water to cover the bottom of the pan and the mess.
  • Bring the water to a boil and let it boil for about 5-10 minutes.
  • If the pan is stainless steel of cast iron use a metal spatula. If the pan is non stick use a plastic spatula. Take the spatula and as the water is boiling scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen up any gunk. Continue to do this until all the gunk has been dislodged.
  • Pour the water out of the pan and the pan is now basically clean.
  • Let the pan cool and them wash as you normally would, just with much less effort.
