Things You Will Need
-
Wash the cookware with warm soapy water and a soft clean cloth or sponge. Use a mild grease cutting dish soap such as Dawn. Grease and food will loosen if you soak the cookware in the warm soapy water first.
-
Be sure to dry the cookware thoroughly to avoid bacterial growth or rust.
-
Rinse the cookware as soon as you are finished cooking with it. If you have time, wash it out as soon as possible to make it easier to clean.
-
Make a paste from baking soda and water and use it to gently scrub stubborn areas where food is stuck onto it. If this doesn't work immediately work the paste over the area well and allow it to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before wiping it away with a soft clean cloth or sponge.
-
Fill a pot or pan with stubborn stuck on food with hot water. Place a fabric softener sheet in the water and leave it overnight. In the morning, the cookware will be much easier to clean.
