Vegetable oil, olive oil, grease, and food oils can burn and stick onto a ceramic pan if the pan is left over heat too long. This burned oil can transfer onto food items cooked inside the pan, ruining your meal. Conventional dish soaps that are unable to cut through grease will fail to eliminate such stains. However, buying a new pan is not necessary, because a homemade cleaner can remove stains, tastes, and odors that come from burned oil.
