Is the lid oily and dirty after a long time? Teach you a little trick to easily remove grease and restore the lid to like-new condition.
In the kitchen, pot lids often become a cleaning item that we tend to overlook. After prolonged use, oil stains often accumulate in the crevices of the lid, which not only affects the appearance, but also may pose a potential health threat. So, how do you effectively clean the lid and give your kitchen a new look? Today, let's learn about this practical trick together.
1. Prepare some dish soap. Apply a thin layer of dish soap evenly on the outside and inside of the lid. The purpose of this step is to allow the dish soap to penetrate the oil better, softening and breaking down the stain. Next, wait patiently for 10 minutes for the dish soap to fully work.
2. After 10 minutes, take out a pot larger than the lid, add an appropriate amount of water and heat until boiling. At this point, reduce the heat to low to ensure that the water continues to produce steam, but not too violently. Place the lid on top of the pot to cover the rim. At this point, you will notice that the oil stain on the lid of the pot begins to gradually dissolve and loosen under the action of high temperature water vapor.
3. After about 3 minutes, put on anti-scald gloves and carefully turn the lid over and continue to clean the other side with water vapor. This step also takes about 3 minutes to ensure that each side of the lid is adequately cleaned. Please pay attention to safe operation to avoid being burned by high temperature water vapor.
4. When both sides are cleaned, take out the lid and gently scrub it with a regular dishwashing brush. Now, you'll find that stubborn grease stains are easy to remove, and the lid looks as bright as new. In addition, the high temperature of water vapor also has the effect of sterilization and odor removal, making your lid more hygienic.
