How the heck do I clean this baking sheet?

I've tried several DIY solutions I've seen on home talk, but none have worked well. I should just throw it away but it's one of my favorites!
I've had luck with stuff like that when I mix 2 parts vinegar to 3 parts water, then stick it in the oven at about 375° ~ take it out and use some space-age plastic scrub pads on it (assuming SOS pads and/or steel wool are out of the question?)... Good luck!! ☺
Oh, and I usually leave it in at 375° for about half hr...
I haven't personally tried this, but there's a terrific DIY blog called onegoodthingbyjillee.com where she describes a step by step process using a baking soda and hydrogen peroxide paste. Search "clean your cookie sheets" on her home page and the details will show up. I've had amazing success with many of her solutions. Good luck!
Oven cleaner then in the oven per the cans directions.
It looks like aluminum ,if it is stainless steel you could use oven cleaner .
dawn has a super new dish detergent that they just put out not long ago...
I usually put some in the pan, swish it around w my fingers to where ever there is stuff, put it in the oven and fill with water.
bake it... let it cool a bit, then scrub it off w a sponge w a scrubbie thing on the other side. works for me every time.
Give it up and use it for something else!
Pour on thined down ketchup use viniger leave overnight should only need light scrub
Dawn liquid as stated above and aluminum foil to scrub it up a bit.
I'd hit that pan with a bit of oven cleaner and let it sit until the baked-on mess dissolved. It will eliminate the majority of scrubbing and sparkle when you're done!
If you have a self-cleaning oven, stick the pan in, start the cleaning cycle and in 3 hours you will have a pan that looks like new! I have even cleaned a pizza stone this way. By the way, my stove is electric so I don't know if gas stoves have a self-clean feature.
Put it in a large black garbage bag and pour a cup of ammonia in it. Leave overnight and clean with a Brillo pad the next day.
Oh my....Toss it and get a new one. It's not worth it....
Toss it! I can't believe anyone would want to save it.
Looks like a commercial grade steel pan, and they are expensive to replace. I would soak for several days in ammonia water and then use an SOS pad. If that is not clean enough for you, do the oven cleaner.
If you can't get it clean enough for food preparation, it could still wire brushed and used in the garden for plants, like seed starter pots.
I'd try spraying oven cleaner on it (outside, of course) and let that do the job. Rinse, Repeat if needed. Wash with Dawn dish soap and a good scrubbing brush. Brillo pads work well too. If all else fails.........go shopping for a new one!
Sorry, but you have thrown good money at something that is not worth saving. Sheet pans are not that expensive, unless it is made with 18/10 Stainless Steel.
Use wet sand paper, will take it right off.
pour baking soda on it . Cut a lemon in half , use the lemon to scrub it, especially the inside flesh of the lemon . U might need to do this a few times over
Sorry people..these favorite pans are worth it. Lemon and baking soda. Let time be your friend.
Have you tried soaking it in Cascade? That's how I get off burnt on stuff.
Put it in your oven and run the clean cycle with the pan in it?
Self-cleaning oven is definitely the way to go if you or an understanding friend has one!
If that isn't possible, and the pan is NOT aluminum, put it in a garbage bag with ammonia, and leave it outdoors overnight so it won't stink up your house. (Ammonia can damage aluminum.) Next day, wear gloves and scrub the tray with a Magic Eraser. (Or generic equivalent. It looks like a fine- grained sponge, but is made of soft melamine foam. ) It may take more than one eraser. They fall apart even quicker than a sponge, but they act like very fine sandpaper or steel wool, and will leave the pan looking polished, not scratched.
I've had great success by making a paste of baking soda and peroxide.
Apply it to the pan (thickly), let it sit for at least 15 minutes, then I scrubbed it with a brillo pad and a generous amount of liquid disk soap.
Good luck and happy scrubbing!
I would go with oven cleaner but it's toxic so use safely . Make sure you really rinse that off . I usually use baking soda w vinegar on the stainless pans because they are really good ones. That won't work on this pan in the photo though. Good luck.
Put some water and bleach inside the pan.
Put it on the stove and boil till it is clean. (15"-30") in low heat.
Add additional water due to evaporation.
Good luck. 😀
DID you try any of these Id love to see the results
I always go back to the tried and true. Baking Soda and vinegar. Put baking soda in large amounts in tray and heavily spray with vinegar. Let this set for quite a while and you will find that most of your gunk is loose and you can then scrub it. If still some there, do the process over again.
I'm so glad! Read that on a chef's blog & thought what a great idea!
I tried Bartenders Friend and a piece of tin foil. First wet the pan and sprinkle BF all over. Let it sit about an hour. Add a little more water to make a paste. Crush the tin foil into a ball, and start scrubbing. No odor, and the pan comes out shiny as new.
I've discovered Norwex products. Cleaning with no chemicals. Mix the laundry detergent in hot water and let pan soak over night. Use one the the Spirisponges to help remove burnt on oven gunk
Dawn dish detergent ,vinegar ,Baking soda and some elbow grease mix the dawn and and vinager togather then add the baking soda let it fiz and stand for 10 min then wipe rite off
This should be done outdoors and only if the pan is NOT aluminum!. Put the baking sheet in a garbage bag and fill the baking sheet with full strength ammonia. Close up the bag and let it set for 24 hours. Open up the bag and you should be able to easily scrape off a little grease with your fingernail. If it does, take out the sheet and it will wash off very easily. This also works excellent on stove top burners and oven grates! I found this out online a few years ago and will never do anything else! This is the absolute easiest! No elbow grease needed!
sometimes it needs to be heated a bit. depends on how long the stuff has been on there. I have cleaned off pans that have been grunged for many years. those need a bit of a heating. but for fresh baked on stuff, true... no heat is needed. just this dawn power cleaner... it really does work!
