How to descale glass baking dishes: easy way

Glass baking dishes are very convenient – they are neutral to any food and, thanks to their transparency, allow you to better control the cooking process. But sometimes sauces and other foods stick to them.

It's not always possible to clean off such deposits with conventional dishwashing detergents. At least, not without making a lot of effort. But one simple life hack with foil will help solve this problem once and for all. OBOZ.UA tells you more about this life hack.

To get rid of even stubborn stains on glass baking dishes, tear off a small piece of foil and roll it into a tight ball. Then, soak the dish to be cleaned in warm water and apply a drop of dishwashing liquid. Start rubbing the soot with the foil ball in a light circular motion. This tool will remove dirt more effectively than a regular sponge and won't scratch the surface like a wire brush.

If you can't clean the cookware even with this method, soak the pan in warm soapy water overnight. This will help soften the carbon deposits. In the morning, repeat the cleaning with foil, adding a little more dishwashing detergent to create a thick foam.

This life hack can also be used for other types of metal or ceramic cookware. But not on those items that have a non-stick coating. The foil can scratch it, which will make the vessel unsuitable for further use.
