Besides being unsanitary, cleaning off your cooking utensils is important if you don't want your next meal to taste like burnt barbecue sauce.
Things You Will Need
-
Place the items encrusted with burnt barbecue sauce in a kitchen sink with the drain stopper installed.
-
Pour enough distilled vinegar into the sink to cover the items. Soak in the vinegar until the burnt sauce begins to soften.
-
Add enough baking soda to the vinegar bath to create a chemical reaction. The mixture will begin bubbling and foaming, which creates a natural scrubbing action that may save you some effort.
-
Scrub the items with a nylon brush to remove the burnt sauce. Rinse in cold water when finished.
-
Rub cast-iron items, such as cooking grates, with a light coat of olive oil on a paper towel to inhibit rusting.
