Clean Dishes and Cookware With Chemical-Free Alternatives

By Clifford Woods

With modern day cookware, it is not advisable to use any type of chemical substance to clean them as this could ruin the quality and effectiveness of the products. You can, however, apply natural ingredients such as baking soda to tough areas or use an organic all-purpose solution packed with a beneficial microorganisms product to completely get rid of any bacteria.



Below is some advice on how to clean certain types of cookware without harsh chemicals. 

Ceramic Wares Ceramic wares, such as a casserole dish, with stuck food should be soaked in hot water and roughly three tablespoons of salt. Allow it to sit until the water cools down, then wash like normal.

Roasting and Broiler Pans Roasting and broiler pans may be one of the hardest to get thoroughly clean. In most cases, they will not fit into the dishwasher. Even if they do manage to fit in the washer, the machine does not perform a good job at cleaning them. An effective way to avoid having to clean them several times is to fill up or cover the pan with boiling water and just let it sit. If even more extreme steps have to be used, fill up the pan with water and then boil it on the stove top for a few minutes. After that, wipe clean or wash with some salt spread onto a cloth or sponge. For your most difficult spots, spread salt straight onto it and scrub hard. 

Frying Pans It is possible to thoroughly clean a gritty frying pan by putting it on the stove top with quarter inch of water and a half cup of vinegar for about ten minutes at simmer. After that, clean as normal.

Clay Pots Clay pots utilized for food preparation also can turn out to be discolored or take on smells. To resolve this issue, fill this type of pot with water and put in one to four tablespoons of baking soda. Allow the mixture to sit for half an hour or longer, then rinse off and dry completely. 

Occasionally, a clay cooker may start to develop patches of mildew. Brush the mold away using a paste made from half baking soda and half water then let it sit. If it is possible, give it an additional boost by placing the clay pot directly into the sunlight. After thirty minutes, wash the paste out and rinse the clay pot.

Copper-Bottom Pans If your copper-bottom pans need a bit of cleaning, avoid looking for harmful polishes. Polishes tend to be at the top of the list of cleaning solutions to steer clear of; as an alternative, make use of a salt and lemon juice blend. 

Copper-bottom pans could be made bright and new-looking once more with a substance made from these two natural ingredients. Simply rub the paste into a sponge or cloth and then wash and rinse out extensively. You may also clean copper-bottom cookware with a very similar substance treatment replacing lemon juice with white vinegar. Or you could try filling up a spray container with pure vinegar and applying it straight onto the underside of the pans. 

Allow it to sit for a little while and you should begin to see the blemishes start to disappear. Afterward, sprinkle with salt, scrub thoroughly, and wash it out. For extremely difficult stains, more coarse salt works more effectively as compared to table salt.

An additional procedure is to just cut a lemon in two, dip it in a bit of salt to cover it, and stroke the copper bottom using circular motions. Following that, wash and dry completely.
