Most housewives use copper utensils for cooking jam, since it is believed that jam in it burns less. However, if this happens, then cleaning takes a lot of time and effort.
In general, when cooking jam, copper utensils rarely burn, but if such a nuisance happened, it is best to use substances such as salt, soda, citric acid, laundry soap and silicate glue to combat the burnout.
Of course, to clean copper utensils, you can also use purchased powder detergents designed specifically for copper, but most of them contain abrasive particles that adversely affect the appearance of dishes. If you want your copper basin to remain like new for a long time, use one of the instructions below to clean it.
How to clean a copper basin with citric acid
First of all, remove the remaining jam from the basin with a spoon, being careful not to scratch the dishes themselves. Next, pour water above the carbon line into the basin and add a little citric acid (one teaspoon is required per liter of water). Cover the basin with a lid and place it on a slow fire for 10-15 minutes. After some time, turn off the gas and allow the water in the basin to cool completely, then rinse it in the usual way.
How to clean a copper basin with baking soda
The combination of soda, soap and silicate glue perfectly copes with burned jam on copper utensils, especially if everything is done correctly. So, so that there are no traces of a burn in the copper basin, fill it with water and add a tablespoon of soda, laundry soap (it must first be grated) and glue (the amount of substances is indicated per liter of water), mix well and put on fire. Wait for the contents of the pelvis to boil, then turn off the gas. Once the water has cooled, clean the bottom and walls of the basin with a stiff brush (not metal) and rinse thoroughly.
