If you're faced with frozen dough residue on your dishes, conventional cleaning methods may not be enough. SSPDaily has shared the secrets of unconventional methods that will help you cope with the problem.
Cold water
To easily clean the dough from the dishes, you can soak it in cold water for at least 30 minutes. It will help soften the dough, making it easier to remove. After soaking, use a rubber spatula to gently scrape off any hardened residue from the pan. Once most of the dough has been removed, wash the dishes with warm, soapy water.
Vinegar and baking soda
Another effective cleaning method is a paste of vinegar and baking soda. Mix equal amounts of vinegar and baking soda to form a thick paste. Apply the mixture to the areas with dough residue and leave for 10-15 minutes. The natural abrasive properties of baking soda combined with the acidity of vinegar will help dissolve and peel the dough from the dishes. After the paste has worked, you can use a sponge or cloth to wipe the dishes and then wash them thoroughly with water.
Freezing
Put the dish in the freezer for an hour to freeze the dough and make it easier to peel off. After you take the dish out of the freezer, you can use a butter knife or the edge of a spoon to gently break off the frozen dough. This method is especially useful for dishes with heavily hardened residue.
