Baking Soda Is The Secret To Removing Stains On Enameled Cast Iron
By SASKIA AINSWORTH
A common pantry staple, baking soda can breathe new life into your stained cast iron pots and pans, eliminating the need for expensive replacements or extensive scrubbing sessions.
To start, apply baking soda to the stains, add water, and wait. Then, scrub away the stains under running water and watch your pots return to their original, sparkling condition.
This hack works because of baking soda’s slightly corrosive and alkali nature, which dissolves organic matter and burn marks, restoring your cast iron cookware to good as new.
You can prevent frequent reliance on baking soda by adjusting your heat settings. Use less intense heat on gas or electric cookers to minimize the occurrence of unsightly stains.
