Q

How do I remove burnt-on food from an Eld skillet?

A

For burnt-on food in an Eld skillet, rinse away loose residue while the skillet is still warm, taking care to avoid sudden cooling. Use mild dishwashing detergent with a palm-fiber brush or melamine sponge.　

For stubborn burnt-on food

For stubborn residue, put baking soda and about 1 cm of water in the skillet and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat. Once the residue has softened and the skillet is cool enough to handle safely, scrub it with a suitable brush and wash.

Use enough baking soda to cover the burnt area evenly. Work it with water into a creamy paste as you scrub.

Precautions

Avoid stainless-steel scrubbers, as they can scratch the skillet surface and make food more likely to stick in future.
