How Do You Remove Melted Plastic From A Frying Pan?
Forgotten to watch where you put things and left the sausage wrap in the frying pan along with the sausages? Yes, that funny smell is trying to tell you something… How do you fix the resulting congealed mess? Try freezing the frying pan and following these simple instructions to get the plastic blob out. • Freeze the frying pan in a freezer, leaving it to chill for at least a couple of hours. • Meanwhile, find a non-marring object like a piece of wood, plastic mallet, anything with some heft, but softer than the metal of the frying pan. This is to avoid damaging the finish of the pan in the next step.** • Remove the super-cooled frying pan from the freezer • Place the frying pan on a flat surface, with the bottom side turned up. • Using the striking tool, gently tap the bottom of the frying pan in the area where the plastic is pooled. If this fails, repeat step 5, but not quite as gently.
