how to clean burnt dishes with a dishwasher tablet.

20 Dec 2024

After your big family dinner how about this 5-step washing-up winner?

It’s a hack that makes short work of burnt casserole dishes, trays with stuck-on roast veg and that saucepan you burnt dry when you forgot about the Christmas pudding! 

Let’s face it, anything that helps with the clear up after a festive feast is worth knowing about. And this 5 step trick has never let us down!

to clean your burnt dishes, all you’ll need is…

  1. your dirty dish/tray/casserole
  2. a dishwasher tablet
  3. some warm water
  4. a cloth (smol compostable ones are genius)
  5. some rubber gloves (again - our plastic-free ones are great!)

step 1. 

Pour a cm of warm water in your burnt casserole dish or roasting tray.

step 2. 

Pop on your rubber gloves and grab a smol dishwasher tablet.

step 3.

Rub the damp tablet across the burnt-on marks just like an eraser on paper!

step 4.

Tip out the dirty water as you go and replace it with a little fresh water. The marks will disappear before your eyes.

step 5.

When the job is done, rinse and wipe with a clean cloth. Ta’dah! 

not just for burnt casseroles or roasts.
