Perhaps the problem of how to clean the pan from carbon deposits periodically arises in every kitchen. And, despite the huge selection of detergents, it is not always possible to achieve the desired result for cleaning soot and burnt fat. It is especially difficult to remove fumes from the outside, because in this place there is an immediate contact of fat with fire... Since pans are made from various materials, then each type has its own cleaning methods.
Therefore, in order to cleanse the pan of carbon deposits, you need to understand modern classification pans.
Types of pans:
- Cast iron - they are the heaviest and most durable, therefore they will serve you for more than one decade.
- Teflon or pans with non-stick coating... They are already equipped with the necessary layer for quality care and protection against burning. However, here there are also "pitfalls".
- Pans stainless steel.
- Ceramic pans - requiring very gentle care.
Before you figure out how to clean the pan of a thick layer of carbon deposits, you should find out what it is. Nagar formed during operation pans, namely, due to heating of fat and its settling on the walls of the dishes, outside and inside. These layers of perennial carbon deposits have become a real nightmare for neat and clean housewives, whose everything should shine and shine with cleanliness.
Oddly enough, modern household chemicals cannot always cope with burnt fat, and some products are not suitable at all.
- For example, aluminum skillet do not clean with aggressive abrasives using a metal sponge. For this type of dish, it is advisable to use baking soda and a soft sponge or cloth.
- Non-stick frying pan also "afraid" of all kinds of aggressive means. They can damage the Teflon and the frying pan can only be thrown away. Therefore, housewives recommend boiling a frying pan in a special solution. To prepare it, dissolve 200 g of dish detergent and 3 handfuls of soda ash in three liters of warm water. Mix and leave to heat over the fire. Place a frying pan in the solution and boil it for half an hour. Then take out and rinse hot water.
- During operation teflon pans remember 2 main rules:
- Do not use metal spatulas when cooking.
- Do not expose the pan to sudden temperature changes.
- Shiny and beautiful pans stainless steel, unfortunately, can often burn. In this case, ordinary table salt can save you. To get rid of any traces of burnt food, take half a glass of salt and sprinkle it on the bottom of the pan. After a couple of hours, the plaque will soften and easily wash off the surface of the dishes. Another effective way for a stainless steel frying pan is soda. By the way, it can also be used to wash pots from the same set, both outside and inside. Stainless steel is also cleaned with activated carbon... Crush a few pills of this medical product and apply the powder to the blackened areas. Pour in a little water and let sit for 10-15 minutes. Then rinse off the solution with a sponge.
- Ceramic frying pan it is best to wash with special products using soft sponges. After the first use, such dishes must be washed with saline, rinsed in warm water and wiped dry. To make your ceramics last longer, do not soak them in cold water.

Video tutorials: how to remove carbon deposits from the pan?
Today we will tell how to remove carbon deposits from a frying pan... A special feature will be that the pan has very low walls 1-2 cm and coverage. This is a Frybest pancake pan with a ceramic coating.
I want to note right away that cleaning a pan from carbon deposits that has some kind of coating (Teflon or ceramic) is a more difficult task than, say, cleaning a cast-iron pan, steel or completely aluminum, from carbon deposits, i.e. uncoated pan.
All non-stick coatings are very sensitive to overheating and the use of any harsh chemicals on them.
At the same time, such a height of the side of the frying pan did not allow boiling it by pouring water and putting it on the fire, which might have helped clear the frying pan from soot inside, but not outside.
Carbon deposits in the pan inside and out
Here is such a carbon deposit formed on a pancake pan after active use for about a year and a half. As a result of this carbon deposits, it became inconvenient to use the pan: all baked products began to stick to the surface, not to mention the lost aesthetic appearance due to carbon deposits on the outside.
It did not work to wash the pan to remove carbon deposits using conventional means such as a soft sponge, soda, hard metal sponge, fairy dishwashing liquid (and several others similar). The preliminary soaking of the pan in hot water for a few hours. The result was the same - if not three soot - it remained in place without the slightest change.
We were already completely desperate until we remembered one wonderful way from the time of our grandmothers and grandfathers. Let's tell you more about it.
What is required to clean carbon deposits
So, to wash the pan with ceramic coating from soot, we needed a few simple things, which are probably in the everyday life of any housewife, namely:
- Baking soda;
- Vinegar solution (we used 9%);
- Lemon;
- Hard sponge for washing dishes with an abrasive surface;
- Capacity for soaking a frying pan;
- Well, actually the pan itself with carbon deposits.
For the sake of the purity of the experiment, we will describe the entire process that was carried out, but perhaps some of its steps may be redundant and you will abandon them (more on this below).
Soot cleaning process
The process of cleaning carbon deposits is quite simple and will take you about one hour or more. So, let's look at the whole process step by step.
Step 1 - soaking
Previously, we soaked the pan in hot water for several hours. It is quite possible that in some cases it will be possible to clean the carbon deposits without soaking the pan, but we describe all the steps that have been taken.
Step 2 - cover the carbon deposits with baking soda
Step 3 - use a vinegar or lemon solution
Pour a little vinegar solution onto a layer of soda. In this case, a chemical reaction will occur and you must be careful so that splashes do not fall on your hands or the surface of the table. If this does happen, quickly rinse the affected area with water.
In addition to the vinegar solution, you can use lemon juice. The reaction will be about the same. We, in turn, used a mixture of a vinegar solution with a small addition of lemon, but again, this is not necessary. It is enough to use one thing.
Step 4 - let stand
After the chemical reaction has passed, let the pan stand for 30-60 minutes. Under the influence of vinegar and soda, the carbon deposits will gradually soften. You just have to wait a little.
Step 5 - remove carbon deposits from the pan with a sponge
Further, depending on the layer of carbon deposits, you can use a sponge to remove carbon deposits from the pan. Under the influence of soda and acetic acid, the carbon will soften and you just have to scrape it off with a hard sponge.
Perhaps the Teflon coating would not have survived this procedure, but nothing happened to the ceramic one.
Removing carbon deposits from the outside of the pan
The procedure for cleaning the outside of a frying pan is no different from cleaning the inside, with one exception. Due to the fact that the outer surface of the frying pan interacts with higher temperatures (is on the fire), carbon deposits from the outside can eat into more than carbon deposits with inside... Therefore, to clean the outside, you may need to repeat the above procedure several times. We limited ourselves to one time.
Soot cleaning result
As a result, with inner surface The carbon deposit was washed off almost completely, small spots remained on the outside, but when the procedure is repeated, they will disappear.
The cast-iron pan still takes pride of place in the kitchen, but cleaning it from soot and grease is not so easy. At least, those who are not familiar with our methods think so. So, introducing the top 10 better wayshow to clean a cast iron skillet at home.
If the contamination is not too catastrophic, you can wash the dishes with rock salt and detergent. The salt will play the role of an abrasive, and the gel will get rid of greasy deposits. Soak the pan in hot water in advance, or even better, pour it over with boiling water. You can mix salt with sand or baking soda, this will enhance the effect, since such abrasives will not dissolve.
Special scrapers for cast iron are available for sale. Such a tool will help to cope with a difficult task if salt and "Fairy" are not enough.
Another popular method is a mixture of baking soda and vinegar or any other acid. The essence of the method is to provoke chemical reactionthat eats away grease and rust.
First, soften the dirt in hot water and rub the pan well with soda powder. Then from a spray bottle evenly apply vinegar or pour in to soda lemon juice... After the reaction, brush again and rinse the dishes with warm water.
Carbon dioxide is released from the chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar, so try not to inhale the vapors.
Method 3: Soda + soap + glue
Our grandmothers also used a recipe for a universal detergent for kitchen utensils. It is prepared as follows:
Place a basin or a large pot of water (5 liters) on the stove.
In boiling sodium water, laundry soap (100 g), add silicate glue (100 g) and soda (60 g).
Dip a frying pan into the boiling mixture and let it simmer for 1-3 hours.
After such a procedure, the carbon deposits will dissolve and you will only have to bring the pan to perfection with a metal brush. Silicate glue and laundry soap work wonders, it is a good, and most importantly affordable alternative to expensive cleaning products consisting of chemical compoundsharmful to the human body.
It is best to boil the dishes on fresh air or in a well-ventilated area. Be sure to turn on the hood to get rid of the unpleasant smell.
This method is described in more detail in the following video. By the way, with the help of such a mixture you can clean other kitchen utensils, including cast iron grates and burners.
Method 4: Coca-Cola
Buy sweet soda from the store, such as Coca-Cola or Sprite. Pour it into the pan to cover the carbon with the drink as much as possible and boil the cola for 20-30 minutes.
Alternatively, dip the skillet in a container filled with soda and leave to soak overnight. Not a trace of soot or rust will remain in the morning. Of course, such miracles will not happen with dishes that have not been washed in years.
Soda is generally a versatile cleaning agent. Check out other ways to use it, for example or.
Buy a special oven cleaner, for example:
- Amway;
- Cilit Bang;
- Sanita-R;
- Sun Wedge;
- Domol;
- Sano.
Be sure to use gloves to protect your hands from harsh chemicals. Even one drop of such a concentrate can provoke a severe chemical burn. Vapors are also harmful, so ventilate the area well.
It is enough to apply the purchased product to the frying pan and leave it for a while (read the instructions, since the time depends on the composition and degree of aggressiveness of the detergent). Use a special brush if it comes with the product. In this regard, chemistry with a spray is more convenient. The carbon will dissolve, and the pieces of burnt food will fall off by themselves, you don't even have to rub anything. Be sure to wash the dishes well after such a procedure.
To cope with old carbon deposits at home, ordinary washing powder will help. To do this, dissolve part of the powder in water and boil the mixture. Put a handful of the product on a cast iron skillet and rub it well. Then dip the dishes into the boiling potion and boil for 1-2 hours.
Keep in mind that cheap powders will not be able to relieve you of dirt on the dishes as well. More expensive products contain components that dissolve fat literally before our eyes, so you shouldn't save.
This method is suitable for those who like to make kebabs in nature or live in a private house. For work you will need wood ash... It remains after burning wood in the stove, coals in the grill, fire ... Just collect clean ash and use it instead of cleaning powder. it natural remedy for removing grease and carbon deposits, however, it is only suitable for dishes that can still be cleaned without taking drastic measures.
Method 8: Sand
Sand can be used instead of ash and soda. It can be used in two ways:
Add sand to the skillet and place it in the oven. Calcined it at a high temperature for at least half an hour. The sand will increase the effect of temperature on old carbon deposits and rid the surface of melted grease.
Soak a skillet in hot water to soften the carbon deposits. Take a handful of sand and rub the dishes thoroughly with it. Use a brush or rag, otherwise the abrasive will remove not only dirt, but also skin from your hands. To enhance the effect, you can use a solution of water with laundry soap.
This method is considered one of the most popular, as it allows you to get rid of carbon deposits guaranteed.
First, you need to remove from the pan all wooden or plastic parts that will not withstand the high temperature.
Make a fire in the street. By the way, it is convenient to use a brazier if its size allows you to put the pan in the coals. When the wood starts to burn out, throw the cleaning object into the fire. The temperature must definitely go down so as not to ruin the pan. Gradually, the carbon deposit will turn into ash, which itself will begin to crumble and flake off from the walls. It will be enough to go over the top with a brush after the pan has cooled down.
At home, you can use an oven or gas burner for this purpose. It is necessary to burn the pan on both sides, especially in places that are difficult to reach for routine cleaning.
Be careful - soot will start burning! It is best to burn the pan outside so as not to provoke a fire in the kitchen. In addition, individual hot pieces can shoot off in different sides.
Why bother when you can ask a man for help? Let him take the tool in his hands and clean off the carbon deposits from the pan. A grinder is suitable or a drill, special attachments in the form of an iron brush go to them. As a last resort, you can use an emery disc.
Iron brush plus powerful revs is the way quick cleaning pans in any condition. To better clean off the carbon deposits, you can soften it in advance or burn it on fire.
It is important to protect the respiratory system from dust and the eyes from pieces of burning that fly off in different directions when brushing.
Restoration of non-stick coating
Simply removing the carbon deposits from the frying pan is not enough. After such procedures, food begins to stick and burn, and often the pan ends up either in a landfill or in a kitchen reserve. The non-stick coating of the pan should be repaired as follows:
Turn on the most powerful burner and ignite the pan, covered with a layer of rock salt 0.5 cm thick, for about 15 minutes. Stir salt occasionally with a spoon.
After the pan has cooled, remove the salt, rinse it off and heat the cast iron for another 15 minutes.
Pour in some vegetable oil and spread it well with a brush over the surface of the pan. Remove excess with a paper towel. Repeat the manipulations 3 times without turning off the fire.
This procedure will completely restore your cast-iron frying pan after cleaning and you can use it again for cooking. delicious dishes... Such light soot must be present, so do not try to clean it after each use of the pan.
If the method you chose did not help, do not despair! Too dirty surfaces are not easy to clean, you will have to repeat the procedure. In this case, it is best to combine 2-3 methods. And don't forget to restore the non-stick coating on your pan!

Alkalis and acids, as well as metal sponges, are not suitable for aluminum. It is best to clean your inventory with baking soda:
- We collect soda on a sponge and three contaminated areas.
- You can also boil a skillet in a baking soda solution for 30 minutes.
Citric acid is also good at removing carbon deposits. The instruction is as follows:
- Add 2 tablespoons to the bottom of the pan citric acid and water.
- Boil the mixture and leave in a frying pan for a while.
- Pour out the solution and rinse the dish thoroughly.
Another cleaning method is a mixture of 10 grams of borax, a glass of warm water and ammonia:
- We moisten the sponge in the resulting solution and wipe all surfaces where a black layer has formed.
- After that, we rinse under running water until completely cleansed.
We breed borax - we get an excellent cleaner for aluminum dishes Coating 4. Stainless steel
Stainless steel dishes are the most whimsical to care for. All scratches, roughness and abrasions are immediately visible on it. So how can you clean the pan from carbon deposits and not leave scratches and scuffs?
This can be done using improvised means, the price of which is minimal, and they are always in the house:
- salt;

- Take half a glass of salt and add it to the bottom of the pan.
- We leave for 2 hours. The salt interacts with the carbon deposits and softens them.
- Using the resulting solution, you can easily remove dirt from the surface.
Cleaning the pan with baking soda is easy and simple. For this:
- Wet the surfaces with water and apply a thick layer of soda.
- For better result I recommend leaving everything for a couple of hours. Then the entire black layer will easily peel off and you can quickly put the dishes in order.
For the next method, we need vinegar and citric acid:
- Pour vinegar into a frying pan, add a couple of tablespoons of citric acid and put on fire.
- Bring it to a boil and observe how the black layer will separate from the walls.
- If the solution begins to boil and steam strongly, remove from heat.

Packing of activated carbon will help to cope with carbon deposits. Grind it and pour it to the bottom. After that we clean with detergent.
Coating 5. Cast iron
Although ceramic and Teflon dishes are gaining popularity today, cast-iron pans are the constant favorites of housewives. But so that it does not lose its presentable appearance, you need to know how to clean a cast-iron pan from carbon deposits outside and inside.
I have identified 3 main ways that you can remove dirt:
Method 1. Mechanical
This is the most radical and quick way cleaning dishes from strong carbon deposits and rust.
- You can use a special metal brush that comes with a drill or grinder attachment.
- You can use a vibration or belt sander.
This cleaning must be done very carefully and all precautions must be taken:
- use a respirator and goggles;
- it is better to do the work outdoors, as the carbon particles will scatter.
Method 2. Chemical
Household chemicals never cease to be replenished with an assortment of detergents that quickly and effectively remove carbon deposits. But:
- It is best to choose drugs that aimed at breaking down fat... They will help get rid of even a thick layer of burning.
- By removing upper layer fat, we easily clean the surfaces of the dishes with metal scraper.
- Do not forget that detergents - aggressive. We use rubber gloves and mask.
- This work should be done in ventilated room.
Method 3. Folk remedies
Cleaning pans from carbon deposits at home with improvised means is the most common method. You can use, for example, blowtorch:
- Blow torch cleaning should be done spend only on the streetwhere there are no flammable objects nearby.
- You can do this work attract a man.
- The flame is directed to the black layer and works for about 5 minutes. Carbon deposits will simply fly off from a cast-iron frying pan.
Less dangerous to use sand:
- Pour sand on the bottom and set on low heat for about 3 hours.
- It will take so much time until the soot begins to lag behind. It all depends on the degree of the adhered layer.
The advantage of this method is that you don't have to clean the pan, at the end you just need to knock on the dishes. The downside is the smell that is released when the sand is heated.
You can make a DIY cleaning solution using vinegar and water:
- We dilute the ingredients in a ratio of 1: 3 and set on low heat for 3-4 hours.
- It will be necessary to monitor the liquid so that the water does not evaporate.
Using this method, you should ventilate the room or turn on the hood. It is not recommended to carry out it indoors, you can get poisoning.
- To get rid of the vinegar smell on the surfaces of the dishes, boil them in a soda solution.
When using activated charcoal, moisten the pan and add crushed tablets. Leave the dishes in this state for an hour and then wash with any cleaning agent.
Laundry soap will also help to cope with burnt food:
- Rub on a grater half a bar of soap.
- Put the shavings in the pan and fill with water.
- We put on fire.
- After half an hour we get shining dishes.
Cleaning dishes with glue and soda is the most famous and common method. Suitable even for modern dishes.
We need:
- 500 grams of soda ash;
- a bar of laundry soap;
- 2 packs of silicate glue.
- We put a bucket of water on the fire.
- Three laundry soap on a fine grater and add to the bucket.
- Then we send soda and glue.
- Mix everything thoroughly and make sure that the soap is completely dissolved.
- Place a frying pan in our solution and bring to a boil.
- We warm for another 15 minutes.
- Then turn off the heat, cover the bucket with a lid and leave everything for 1-2 hours.
After this procedure, heavy carbon deposits can be easily removed with a knife. Pan - rinse thoroughly under running water.
You can boil a frying pan in a solution of salt, vinegar and soda:
As you can see, there are enough ways to remove carbon deposits from the surface of the pan to find the right one for a particular surface. But in order to use cleaning methods less often, it is necessary to take preventive measures. Those. do not run until a multi-year layer of soot is formed.
