How To Clean An Enamel Pan

How to clean grease off enamel pan

Removing grease from an enamel pan can be straightforward if you follow these steps:

• Let the pan cool
• Fill with hot soapy water
• Scrub gently
• Use baking soda for tough spots
• Rinse thoroughly
• Dry the pan
• Repeat if necessary

Let the Pan Cool. Always allow your enamel pan to cool to room temperature to avoid thermal shock.

Fill with Hot Soapy Water. Add hot water and a squirt of mild dish soap. Let it soak for 15-20 minutes to loosen the grease.

Use a soft sponge to scrub the pan. Soft sponges are gentle on enamel and effective at removing grease.

If grease persists, sprinkle baking soda directly onto the greasy areas and scrub gently. Baking soda acts as a mild abrasive that helps lift grease without scratching.

After scrubbing, rinse the pan with warm water to remove any soap and baking soda residue.

Use a soft towel to dry the pan immediately to prevent water spots and preserve the enamel’s shine.

For exceptionally stubborn grease, repeat the process, ensuring each step is performed gently to maintain the integrity of the enamel coating.

By following these steps, you can keep your enamel pans clean and in good condition, ready for your next cooking plans.

How to clean a burnt enamel pan

Cleaning a burnt enamel pan is manageable with these steps:

• Fill and boil. Add water to cover the burnt area and bring to a boil.
• Add baking soda. Sprinkle in a few tablespoons of baking soda.
• Simmer and reduce heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
• Cool and scrub your pan. Allow it to cool, then scrub gently with a soft sponge.
• Rinse and clean off any residue with warm water.
• Dry and wipe the pan dry with a soft towel.

This method helps lift burnt residues without damaging the enamel. 

Be careful not to damage the layer of enamel on your pan. Accidentally dropping enamel cookware on a hard worktop, or on a hard floor will risk chipping the enamel away from its metal base. Equally, when cleaning, be careful not to scratch away any coating with overly-vigorous scraping!

Proper cleaning involves hand washing with warm, soapy water and ensuring thorough drying to prevent rust. Additionally, occasional boiling with baking soda helps remove stuck-on food, while gentle ceramic cleaners can address stains without damaging the enamel.

How to remove burnt sugar from enamel pan

Removing burnt sugar from an enamel pan can be done efficiently with these steps:

• Simmer by filling the pan with water, covering the burnt area.

• Add vinegar to it. Mix in a small amount of vinegar to help break down the sugar.
• Cool and scrape. After cooling, gently scrape the sugar using a wooden spatula.
• Wash and clean the pan with warm soapy water using a soft sponge.
• Dry the pan immediately to avoid water marks.

This process helps lift the sugar without harming the enamel's surface.

How to care for Kapka enamelware

Enamelware, known for its durability and resilience, Kapka Enamel is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. 

Its vibrant colours remain bright, even after dishwasher cycles, as they are baked at temperatures reaching 800°C during manufacturing. 

It is dishwasher safe, can be utilised on stovetops, and withstands oven temps up to 250°C. 

However, it should not be used in microwaves. 

Despite its robustness and low risk of shattering, caution should be taken to prevent knocks and bumps, as the outer coating may chip similar to ceramics or stoneware.

How to season an enamel pan

Enamel pans do not require seasoning due to their glazed surface, which is non-reactive and naturally stick-resistant.
