Food is best when it is still warm, but the truth is that sometimes, even when we get our timing perfectly correct, it can get a little burnt. Often the case when frying or grilling something.

3 secrets to removing burn marks from glass cookware

When cooking with delicate and expensive cookware, you’ve got to be careful and treat them with care. One of the most common mishaps that occur during the preparation of a meal is cooking on high heat and leaving a burn mark on the inner surface — which leaves you wondering how to remove it! 

Whether you’re searing, simmering, or simply reheating, when you use glass cookware, there is always a higher chance of it getting burnt. We share with you three easy ways to remove burn marks from glass cookware.

1. Using vinegar and water

You will need the following:

• White Vinegar
• Water
• Dish Soap
• Sponge

Follow these steps to remove burn marks with vinegar and water:

1. Mix the white vinegar and water in the glass dish. Make sure that you dilute the vinegar with equal water before adding it to the dish.
2. Let the mixture sit in the dish for an hour or two. Drain out the liquid, but don’t rinse it away. 
3. Add some dishwashing liquid to the soiled area on your pan. Use a soft sponge to scrub off any remaining stain(s).

If the spot is particularly stubborn, make sure to let the glassware sit in the solution for about 4 hours. Make sure to rinse your pan to remove any leftover residue thoroughly.

2. Using baking soda and ammonia

Baking soda is a great stain remover, especially when removing tough stains off of the glass. Whether you use it for glass pans or some stained clothing, you can quickly get rid of the toughest stains with ease. 

Use this homemade trick to improve your washing routine and start getting clean glass pans in next to no time!

You will need the following:

• Baking Soda 
• Water
• Ammonia
• Soft Cloth

Follow these steps to remove burn marks with baking soda

1. Moisten the sponge or soft cloth with water.
2. Sprinkle baking soda into the pot, then add water slowly.
3. Scrub down the burnt areas with some baking soda and a cloth.
4. If the stains remain, rinse with water.
5. Spray the surface with an ammonia.
6. Scrub again with a soft cloth.
7. Rinse and repeat if necessary.
8. Once clean, wash the item as usual to remove any cleaning residue.

3. Using boiling water

Boiling water in the pan is one of the easiest ways to clean glassware. The water will clean off all of the burnt food and leave you with a more pristine-looking (and tasting) piece of cookware. 

You will need the following: 

• White Vinegar (1 Cup) 
• Water (4 cups) 
• Dishwashing Liquid (Teaspoon) 
• Sponge

Follow these steps to remove burn marks with boiling water

1. Place an empty pan on the stove. 
2. Pour water into the pan and add vinegar to it. Mix it up until you have a dilute solution. Turn on the heat and wait for 5 minutes. 
3. Take the pan off the heat. Place the pan in a safe place away from children and pets, and allow it to cool down. Do not rinse it in hot water because you will burn yourself. 
4. After it has cooled, get a cloth and some dish soap and start scrubbing. 
5. Finish up by drying the pan with a dishtowel.

Keep your glassware stain free

These methods are simple, safe, and can be used on all types of glass cookware.

• When scrubbing is out of the question, you can get more cleaning power than a soft cloth and make your job easier by using denture cleaner tablets. Drop the tablets in a filled pan and let them fizz for as long as desired. 
• Soak the glassware in a mixture of one-part ammonia to 10 parts water for at least 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, scrub the pan with steel wool, then rinse and dry.
• If the scrubbing isn’t doing the trick, boil some water and drop in sliced-up lemon halves. Let them simmer for 5 minutes, then let them cool. Next, try scrubbing.

We’ve given you the lowdown on how to remove burn marks from glass cookware, but next time you have a pesky burnt mark on your pans or bowls, don’t throw your cookware down the trash. Instead, remember this guide and find your solution to the problem.
