Introduction: How to Remove Burn Marks From Pots & Pans

About: Hi! I'm Miz! I'm just a girl who loves DIY! Happy to create instructables and happy to help with anything I can! \(^-^)/

Anyone who cooks regularly has burned a pan or pot before.

The real problem after burning a pot is: how to get rid of the black marks?

From experience, I know that scrubbing does not work.

This solution is non-chemical, easy to do, and requires only 'normal' household materials!

Step 1: Step 1: Materials

Super simple... The only things you need is:

  • Ketchup
  • Dish washing sponge (or cloth)

Step 2: Step 2: Apply Ketchup on Burned Area on Pan and Rub With Dish Washing Sponge

That's it.

Just squeeze out a little bit of good old ketchup, and rub the burned area gently using a dish washing sponge.

Don't use too much force when rubbing - it'll scratch the surface of the pan.

Step 3: Step 3: Rinse Off and TA-DA!

Once you can see some of the original silver shine beneath the darkened ketchup, rinse off and TA-DA!

Clean and sparkly, like nothing had ever happened!

Step 4: Recommendations

  • It'll be wise to wash the food off the pot/pan before using ketchup to remove burn stains
  • It may be a good idea to do this process a few times instead of trying to clean off all the stains at once
