Clean your dirty pans with baking soda
Your usual detergent may not do much to lift that caked-on grime from your pots and pans, but another kitchen staple will: baking soda.
This common fridge deodorizer and baking ingredient “works as fine sandpaper,” explains Ruth.
Use a scrub brush or toothbrush to apply the baking soda to the pan and you can easily scrub those messes away in seconds.
