Traditional cast iron frying pans have one drawback - over time, food begins to burn. It takes on a dark, ugly appearance and makes the cooking process more complicated. If the carbon deposits are not very old, then you can not only get rid of unpleasant phenomena, but also prevent their occurrence in the future.

    If the kitchen utensils are cast iron or aluminum (cast), place them not in the oven, but on top of the most powerful gas burner, upside down, and not for 40-50 minutes, but for at least 120-150 minutes. More is possible. It will be like new.
