2. a. an acid
b. an abrasive
c. a sanitizer
d. a solvent

Answer 1

The correct answer an abrasive from first portion and a solvent from second portion.

Explanation:

In order to properly clean the cookware, it is important to first of all get it clean by using abrasive. It will help you to get clean all the stains and spots. For cleaning oil stains, the use of solvent is considered to be important that can be in form of baking soda.

Answer 2

I think for cleaning cookware, whatever material it is, you should first try with an abrasive. It can clean light to medium spots on the pans and pots.

But when the cookware is used very frequently and oil is used in it, it is likely to have layers of grease and lime build up on it. In this situation, the regular cleaners do not work very well so you can opt for a solvent to clean the heavy grease accumulated on the cookware.

A solvent can have either baking soda or vinegar in it as they help to dissolve the deposits of grease and limescale.
