A New Use for an Old Product

I am not one to endorse a product but I am so tickled with a discovery I made that I have to share it with you as I have with many friends who are as ecstatic as I am.

You probably have heard of Oxyclean.  It’s sold by itself (liquid or powder) as well as an ingredient in other cleaners.  It is touted as a super cleaner for laundry.  Well, I have used it to take out a stain by following directions on the tub of powder I have and it has never disappointed.  BUT – I made a wonderful discover all by myself!  It amounts to a new use for the product, at least I had never heard of it being used for this before.

Have you ever burned a pan really badly and, even after soaking overnight, can’t quite get it clean?  Well, listen up. At least once a week, I sauté veggies in a pan and tend to want them crispy so the pan gets burned.  Take a look:

Here’s what it looks like with veggies removed.

Sprinkle a generous amount of Oxyclean in it in the sink.

 

no4

Make sure water is VERY hot and add to the pan. Soak a few hours or overnight.

And … with NO elbow grease, just a wipe with a sponge, here’s the result!
