Using these five efficient cleaning methods, you can extend the lifespan of your pans and ensure that they remain in beautiful shape for many years to come using these methods. 

Gentle Scrubbing 

Use a soft sponge or brush with warm, soapy water to gently scrub away food residue and stains, avoiding abrasive cleaners that can damage the pan's surface. 

Baking Soda Paste 

Create a paste with baking soda and water, then apply it to stubborn stains and let it sit for a few hours before rinsing, effectively lifting tough grime without scratching the pan. 

Vinegar Soak 

Fill the pan with equal parts vinegar and water, then let it soak for several hours or overnight to dissolve burnt-on food and grease, making it easier to clean with minimal effort. 

Lemon and Salt Scrub 

Cut a lemon in half, sprinkle salt on the cut side, and use it to scrub the pan's surface, harnessing the natural acidity of lemon and abrasiveness of salt to remove stains and impart a fresh scent.
