My pots and pans-cleaning trick is the simplest way to get rid of sticky substances – there's no scrubbing needed | The Sun

A CHEF has shared their industry hack for cleaning tough food residue from your pots and pans.

The TikTok user demonstrated the handy scrub-free trick for their followers.

In their video, content creator Abby (@abbyinthegalley) explained that they learned the cleaning method after years of working in kitchens.

"I showed you guys how to make caramel and it’s always a pain to clean the pot," the TikToker told viewers.

However, Abby revealed that they had a simple way to tackle the problem.

"Fill it up all the way with water, take it to the stove, and put it on high to get it to the boil," they said.

Abby explained: "So the purpose of putting it back on the heat is to redissolve the sugar."

After removing the pot from their stovetop, they emptied the cloudy water from the pot.

"Check this out, no more stuck on sugar," Abby said as they showed viewers the sparkling pot.

They concluded: "It’s spotless, come on you, can’t get easier than that."
