The following methods will help you keep your pots and pans shiny and free of black or yellow stains.
Clean the pot after each use
The common reason why the pot turns black when using a gas stove is because the pot is dirty. After cooking, if not cleaned properly, the oil residue stuck to the bottom of the pot will burn black, making the pot dirty. The longer you use it, the thicker and more stubborn the layer of dirt will be.
Therefore, after use, you need to clean the pot thoroughly to remove dirt and grease.
If the pot is covered with a layer of black residue, it will be more difficult to clean. Cleaning the pot after each use will help prevent the pot from turning black very effectively.
Check the gas tank
If the gas stove turns red, it may be because the gas tank is running out. You can check the gauge on the gas tank or shake the tank lightly to see if there is not much gas left in the tank.
In addition, if you buy a poor quality gas cylinder that does not guarantee quality, it will also cause the flame to burn red and the pot to turn black.
Therefore, you should use a gas cylinder in a reputable place that guarantees quality.
In addition, you should also clean the gas stove regularly to remove dirt and grease stuck to the stove and the fire holes. This is also one of the reasons why the flame turns red and the bottom of the pot turns black.
How to clean a black pot bottom
To clean the black bottom of the pot, many people use iron balls and sand to scrub. This method is effective immediately but causes many scratches on the bottom of the pot. Later, the pot will be more susceptible to dirt.
Others use baking soda to spread evenly on the bottom of the pot, then pour vinegar on top and leave it for a while before scrubbing. This method is also effective but not very effective.
The most effective and simple way to clean dirt on the bottom of the pot is to use dishwashing tablets or powder.
First, prepare a pot of boiling water and mix 1 dishwashing tablet/dishwashing powder into it. Soak the pot in the solution.
If the stains are not too many, you only need to soak for about 1-2 hours. If the stains are longer, you should soak the pot in water overnight.
After soaking and washing, you just need to take the pot out and scrub it with a sponge normally used to wash dishes.
Dishwashing tablets/dishwashing powder contain many oxidizing agents that can clean burnt stains and grease that have stuck on the bottom of the pot for a long time very well.
