Prepare the pan:
Remove any food residue from the baking sheet.
Sprinkle with baking soda:
Sprinkle the baking sheet with baking soda, covering the stained areas.
Add water and seal:
Spray the baking sheet with hot water until the baking soda is moist. Place the pan in a large plastic bag and seal it.
Let it do its thing:
Leave the pan in the bag for a few hours or overnight. The moisture will help loosen grease and grime.
Rub:
Remove the pan from the bag, put on rubber gloves, and clean the pan with a scourer or steel wool.
Rinse and dry:
Rinse the baking sheet with hot water and dry it with a soft cloth.
Method 4: Self-cleaning oven (if available)
Prepare the pan:
Remove any food residue from the baking sheet.
Start the self-clean cycle:
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to start the oven’s self-clean cycle. This cycle heats the oven to very high temperatures to burn off any food and grease.
Clean the baking sheet:
Once the self-clean cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, remove the baking sheet and clean the residue with a sponge and hot water.
Additional tips:
Avoid abrasives: Avoid using overly aggressive products that could scratch or damage the pan’s surface.
Regular maintenance: Clean your baking sheet regularly to prevent dirt and grease from building up and becoming difficult to remove.
By following these methods and tips, you can keep your baking sheets clean and ready for your next recipe!
