Salt and oil scrub

To effectively clean a frying pan, sprinkle it with plenty of salt and then pour in a small amount of oil. Use a paper towel to rub the mixture into the surface of the pan, paying special attention to areas with burnt food. After the pan is clean, rinse it with warm water and wipe it dry.

Lemon and water

To clean the pan naturally, take a lemon, cut it in half and squeeze the juice onto the dirty surface, then fill it with water. Put the pan on the stove and bring the mixture to a boil, leaving it for a few minutes to work. Pour off the liquid and use the lemon halves to clean the pan, as the fruit's natural acid will eat away at burnt food residue.
