Turmeric stains

[BigMac]

OK, love curry, have helped son cook one tonight.

BUT how do you clean saucepans, plates etc that have turmeric stains?

Any advice / hints / suggestions gratefully received.

I'd try oxygen-based bleach - those powders (like Vanish) which have "oxi" or "oxy" on the pack. Dissolve in warm water and soak pans with solution in. DON'T be tempted to use chlorine-based bleach!

Thanks, gingejbee.

What sort of pans? Aluminium, steel, non-stick etc.

Regular bleach - as neat as is necessary then wash with soap and rinse well. You will smell it if there is any residue

I did suggest oxygen-based bleach eg Vanish or other much cheaper versions, twelve hours ago! BUT I advise against chlorine-based bleach, "regular bleach", because it shouldn't be used on enamelled surfaces, most metals and (I suggest) non-stick materials. (I have seen a set of Le Creuset saucepans ruined by the use of chlorine bleach).

sounds like you're also using too much tumeric
