A THRIFTER lucked out when they scored a high-end pan for free at a local garage sale. Although it was heavily used, their cheap and quick cleaning hack made it shine like it was new. Redditor RandomNumberHere could not contain their excitement when they secured an expensive kitchen item for free.
The luxury buy was far from new, but they shared how they stumbled across a red Le Creuset pan and gave it new life in a post . It all started when they hit some garage sales a while back and noticed there was a house giving away things for free. "Spotted this crusty pan and immediately snatched it up and snapped a pic of the 'FREE' sign for good measure," they explained.
They also shared before and after photos of the inside and outside so others could see the progress. "Wow amazing find in a color of my dreams," a Redditor said. The Le Creuset pan typically retails for around $150.
The French cookware brand is popular among many cooks and bakers. All the kitchen items are made with high-quality enameled cast iron, which is why they have a high price tag. RandomNumberHere decided to try to bring the thrifted pan back to its former glory.
They soaked the pan with Easy Off Heavy Duty Oven Cleaner for almost a day. "Nice. I would have been worried about damaging the enamel, but I guess not.
I have a couple of pans I might try this technique on," another Reddit user wrote. The poster replied that the Easy Off is perfect for this exact reason. *If you click on a link in this article, we.
