Cleaning Maple Evaporator Pans - The Sour Sap Method

Описание: The Sour Sap method is one of the most natural, low-cost, and effective ways to make your evaporator pans look like new again—no scrubbing required!

At the end of our maple season, we filled the evaporator pans with spoiled sap and water, then let them soak. Over the course of two months, the sap naturally converted to vinegar—a powerful cleaning agent. It might not look pretty (and yes, it can get a little stinky), but this method does an incredible job.

This video is especially for maple syrup producers who struggle with gunked-up evaporator pans coated in sugar sand. With Sour Sap, you can lift all of that build-up without abrasive scrubbing or risking scratches to your pan’s surface. If you’ve got the time to let your pans soak, this method is highly effective and completely natural.
