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 the pan with veggies cooked in it.

Here’s what it looks like with veggies removed.

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

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!
