There is a way to degrease a pan quickly and easily using an inexpensive commodity that you probably already have right at home.

  1. Fill the pan with one part white vinegar to two parts hot water.

  2. Allow the pan to soak for approximately 20 minutes. The vinegar will cut through most of the grease just during the soaking process.

  3. Wet a cleaning sponge with vinegar and add a couple of squirts of liquid dish soap. Use the sponge to wipe out the pan.

  4. Rinse the pan and dry it before you use it or store it away.

Things You Will Need

  • White vinegar
  • Dish soap
  • Cleaning sponge
