Cleaning pans and pots from carbon deposits and grease is a tedious and complicated process. But manufacturers of “miracle products” promise cleanliness to its original shine with the help of their gels and sprays. But are all the remedies really effective? We have selected the top 5 anti-carbon agents that cope with the task with a bang.
Amway
Manufacturer: Belgium.
The popular remedy, according to housewives, works wonders. It cleans even old carbon deposits, grease and soot after the first use. Although the manufacturer positions this product as an oven cleaner, it also cleans pans and pots. The product has a thick consistency, so shake the bottle before use. It is convenient to apply Amway with the brush that comes with the kit. After 30 minutes, the pan should be rinsed under running water.
Azelite
Manufacturer: Russia.
Another product that was originally developed for ovens, but has long become universal. Powerful Azelite foam covers the contaminated surface of the frying pan and, flowing down the walls, cleans it until it shines. The manufacturer indicates an exposure time of only 2 minutes, but housewives claim that for effective cleaning it is worth waiting 8–10 minutes. This spray is quite caustic, so you need to use gloves and a mask when working with it.
Schumannite
Manufacturer: Israel.
A concentrated spray grease remover quickly removes deposits from cooking pots, cauldrons and grill grates. It is enough to spray the contaminated surface, and after 2 minutes soot, grease and even burnt sugar can be washed off with a damp sponge. In addition, experts say that this same product perfectly removes rust and limescale.
Sanitol
Manufacturer: Russia.
A cheap domestic product that can remove very old carbon deposits from pots, pans, baking sheets and ovens. The manufacturer warns that it can only be used with gloves, as the chemical composition is very strong. Unlike other products, Sanitol does not need to be left on the surface for a while; it is enough to apply the composition, wipe with a sponge and rinse with water.
Frosch
Manufacturer: Germany.
This grease cleanser differs little from other effective sprays in its processing principle. It also needs to be sprayed onto the contaminated surface, left for 10 minutes, and then washed off with a foam sponge. But what makes Frosh unique is that it is environmentally friendly and made from soda and grapefruit extract. Accordingly, its use does not cause allergic reactions or irritation.
Carbon deposits on a frying pan are not a reason to throw it away; just use a high-quality cleaner, and the frying pan or saucepan will last for many more years.
