When you’re prepping for a special meal, an unexpected mess can be enough to ruin your day. If a bottle of dessert wine has just spilled onto your cookware, don’t worry — with the help of a few simple ingredients, you’ll have everything back to normal in no time.
The first step is to identify the type of metal you’re working with. Different metals require tailored solutions, so knowing what type of pot or pan you’re cleaning is important. Aluminum, stainless steel, and other non-enameled surfaces will respond differently to certain cleaners.
Once you know the material you’re working with, start by creating a paste with baking soda and water. Apply it to the stain and let sit for 15 minutes. This should help to break down the stain, making it easier to scrub off.
If the baking soda isn’t getting the job done, try using a mixture of white vinegar and water to saturate the affected area. Let the vinegar solution sit for 10 minutes before scrubbing, but be sure to be gentle — some metals are more prone to scratches and dents than others.
After the stain has been removed, it’s important to rinse pot or pan thoroughly. Removing any remaining residue will help prevent streaks or discoloration.
No matter what type of metal you’re dealing with, the most important thing to remember when cleaning up dessert wine stains is to act quickly. The longer the stain stays on your cookware, the harder it is to remove.
