It showed him sprinkling salt and baking soda on the bottom of the pan, followed by dishwashing soap. After a bit of scrubbing, he applied paper towels on top, and poured white vinegar over it. He then wiped all the gunk off, revealing a super clean pan!

However, many in the comments section claimed that it doesn't work, and pointed out that it may have been swapped with a different pan. 

"Take a close look at the placement of the handle, it has been changed or replaced," one user commented. 

"How come even the paint has been removed?" another user wondered. 

Known for testing out online hacks, they followed the steps and ended up with a much cleaner pan.

"That's like 99% perfect," they said. 

As you can see, it looks pretty gross and dirty. Which gave me all the more reason to try out this hack, since washing it normally didn't work. :(  

All the ingredients I needed were easily found at home:
- Salt
- Baking soda
- Dishwashing soap
- White vinegar
- Paper towels

I started off by sprinkling salt and baking soda on the bottom of the pan, then pouring dishwashing liquid over it.

Next, I made sure to scrub it all together with a steel wool.

Note: Do not try this on the inside of non-stick/stainless steel pans, as it will leave scratches and damage the pan.

After carefully placing about three paper towels on top of the salt, baking soda, and dishwashing soap mixture, I poured white vinegar on top.

And finally, I removed the paper towels to see the results!

So remember, with a few household items (and an insane amount of scrubbing) your pans could look like mine. :P
