Step 1: Rinse With Hot Water

Start by rinsing your pot or pan with hot water — the hotter better! This will help loosen any dried on grease or grime. Use a soft cloth or sponge to scrub away any excess.

Step 2: Clean With Baking Soda and Vinegar

Mix equal parts baking soda and vinegar together in a small bowl. Then, use the mixture to scrub your pot or pan with a soft cloth or sponge. You may need to let the mixture sit for a few minutes if the stain is particularly stubborn.

Step 3: Rinse Again

Once you’ve scrubbed away the grease and oil stains with the baking soda and vinegar mixture, rinse your pot or pan thoroughly with hot water. You should also be sure to rinse off any of the baking soda mixture that may remain stuck to surface.

Step 4: Let Air Dry

Once you’ve finished rinsing pot or pan, set it aside to air dry. The heat from the hot water should help evaporate any remaining moisture, leaving your pot or pan completely grease-free!
