For those wondering, ′′how did i do it?":
I boiled 10L of water, added 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate, two cups of coke, and half cup of lemon juice, then stirred well. Waited 3 minutes, put the pan in the solution for 45 minutes, then added a quarter cup of chlorine bleach to the mixture. Then I brushed it with a firm toothbrush and put it back into the liquid for another 25 minutes. I took it out, rinsed it, and it looked exactly the same, so I threw it away, and went and bought a new one.

Edit: Please don’t actually make this concoction! The resulting mixture may produce poisonous gases! This toot is a joke, the pictures are not even my pans. I didn’t throw any pans away. Following these directions, despite the fact it probably won’t do anything useful, would be fucking stupid and you may win a Darwin Award.

@dgar another technique that works is to take a picture when it's new and save it until you need it after a couple of years.
@ottaross @dgar Some completely unwanted serious advice: fetch ye some popcorn kettle cleaner. That stuff is magical! #SecretsOfTheCarnies https://www.webstaurantstore.com/carnival-king-31-oz-kettle-kleen-popcorn-kettle-cleaner/382KETTLEKLN.html
@arclight @ottaross @dgar When I saw this I assumed it would be super toxic, but the MSDS is not that bad for a corrosive chemical mix. https://cdnimg.webstaurantstore.com/documents/sds/382kettlekln_sds.pdf
@AustinB @arclight @ottaross @dgar yeah it's not much different to dishwasher salt and detergent.
@gsuberland @arclight @ottaross @dgar That, with copper wool, could really get some burnt grease off.
@arclight @ottaross @dgar Webstaurant is wonderful. I got my first mortar and pestle from them in 2016 and have been using it ever since.
