How to get baked on egg white off of pans?

1. Soak the Pan:

- Fill the pan with enough warm, soapy water to cover the baked-on egg white

- Let it soak for at least 15-20 minutes.

2. Use a Non-Scratch Sponge:

- Dampen a non-scratch sponge with hot water.

- Gently scrub the area with the baked-on egg white.

- Be careful not to use abrasive scrubbers, as they may damage the pan's surface.

3. Use Baking Soda Paste:

- Mix equal parts baking soda and water to form a paste.

- Apply the paste directly to the baked-on egg white and let it sit for 5-10 minutes.

- Scrub the paste with a non-scratch sponge and rinse thoroughly.

4. Use Vinegar:

- Fill the pan with a mixture of equal parts vinegar and water.

- Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for a few minutes.

- Let the pan cool down, and then scrub the egg white with a non-scratch sponge.

5. Use a Dishwashing Detergent:

- Use a heavy-duty dishwashing detergent and scrub the pan.

- Rinse thoroughly with hot water.

6. Preventative Measures:

- To prevent baked-on egg whites, add a small amount of oil or butter to the pan before cooking your eggs.

- Cook your eggs over low to medium heat.

- Avoid overcooking eggs, as this can make the egg whites more challenging to remove.

Remember to always use non-scratch tools to avoid damaging your pans and to clean your pans promptly after use to prevent tough stains and baked-on residue.
