Рow to remove old carbon deposits from pan bottoms using dish gel and ammonia vapors

Old carbon deposits on the bottom of a pan often form a hard crust that a regular sponge cannot remove. Instead of scraping the grime with a knife and risking damage to the metal, the "two drops" method can be used. This technique softens even years-old buildup into a paste that can be removed with minimal effort. To prepare the layer, first disrupt the top oily film. Turn the cooled, dry pan upside down so the bottom faces up. Apply a few drops of concentrated dishwashing gel to the most stained areas and spread it over the black crust with a sponge. Leave the pan in this state for 10 minutes. The gel penetrates the fat structure, making it more pliable for the next step. To address the hardened deposits, exposure to ammonia vapors is required. Prepare a thick plastic bag and a standard cotton pad for this process.
