Don't throw away the old pot

A burnt pot is a fairly common kitchen accident that can happen to even the best cook.

Sometimes just a moment of inattention is enough for food to stick. Often the vessel can be saved if we react quickly. But even if you don't manage to clean the burnt pot, you don't have to throw it away.

The same applies to old pots that have become so worn out over time that they are no longer suitable for cooking.

Don't throw away an old, burnt pot. Try this trick

Before you write off the pot, it is worth trying home remedies to save a burnt pot. In addition to the traditional dishwasher, vinegar, baking soda, activated carbon, salt and dishwasher tablets can help. But even if all these methods fail, you don't have to throw away the pot. It can still be used in another way.

Are you wondering what the use of an old, broken pot is? We hasten to explain. There are several patents in the spirit of zero waste.

A pot that is no longer suitable for cooking can be used as a flower pot. It will be an original decoration that will change the decor of your home or balcony. Moreover, it costs nothing and allows you to give old items a second life.

Another idea is to make it into a container for kitchen utensils. You can, for example, keep cutlery in a pot that is no longer suitable for cooking.

If you have children, you can give them an old pot to play with. A real "adult" item always arouses more interest than a toy item.

You can also keep pens or crayons in a small pot. This is a smart and convenient way to organise your desk at no cost.
