It sounds like you might be referring to a burnt container or pan after cooking angel (or angle) fish fillets. If this is the case, here’s how you might tackle cleaning a burned container:
Materials:
- Baking soda
- Vinegar or lemon juice
- Dish soap
- Soft-bristled brush or sponge
- Water
- Time for soaking
Steps:
- Cool Down the Container: Allow the burned container to cool completely before attempting to clean it.
- Scrape off Excess Residue: Use a spatula or a spoon to gently scrape off any large, loose burnt bits from the container.
- Create a Soaking Solution: Make a cleaning paste using baking soda and a little water. Apply this paste to the burnt areas and allow it to sit for a few hours or overnight. The baking soda helps loosen burnt-on residue.
- Soak with Vinegar or Lemon Juice: If the baking soda paste doesn’t fully remove the burnt residue, pour a mixture of equal parts vinegar (or lemon juice) and water into the container. Allow it to soak for a few hours. The acidic properties help break down burnt material.
- Scrub with a Soft Brush or Sponge: After soaking, use a soft-bristled brush or sponge to scrub the burnt areas gently. Don’t use abrasive materials that could damage the container.
- Rinse and Wash: Rinse the container thoroughly with water. Then, wash it with dish soap and warm water to remove any remaining residue and cleaning agents.
- Repeat as Needed: For stubborn burnt-on areas, you might need to repeat these steps or use a more concentrated solution of baking soda or vinegar.
Remember, prevention is often the best approach. Cooking fish or any food on lower heat settings and using non-stick cookware or lining the pan with parchment paper can help prevent burning and make cleanup easier.
