If so, would you be willing to put these pans in your oven and run the self cleaning mode and see if this will clean your pans😊😊 I do this with the drip pans under my electric stove and it's an absolute miracle the way it works in them.

[@madhousenmich]

Yes that is not dirt it’s just the way the pan ages. It’s a seasoned pan and is fine. There is no way I would spray that toxic chemicals like easy off on a pan you put food on!

[@williamolliges2622]

Like a Dutch oven.

[@cherrymccall4806]

Exactly

[@pickypants9696]

My Dad bought 12 low income rental townhouses several years ago, and as people would move out we'd go in and do a total overhaul to spruce them up. The one thing I'll never forget are the ovens in these rentals. They looked like every dish baked in them must not have been covered and sprayed grease everywhere it was so thick and baked on. It didn't even look feasible to remove. I tried Easy Off and the extra strength version leaving it on all day and overnight and it barely touched it. We were at the stage where we thought we were just going to have to junk them and buy all new stoves. As I was discussing the scenario with a friend who was a chef, they mentioned they'd never used an oven cleaner in their life to clean an oven. They'd heat an oven to it's lowest temperature or on the warm setting, turn it off and place a glass shallow bowl of ammonia (like cereal bowl) inside the oven on the middle rack and let it sit 24 hours, then wipe it out. I was skeptical since clearly they'd never had an oven that looked like these, but as a latch ditch effort I decided to try it. Also, these were gas stoves with pilot lights, so they naturally stayed a bit warmer around the clock than a stove without one would. I opened the oven door 24 hours later, highly disappointed because it didn't look like anything happened. I took a bowl with hot water and an old rag and was shocked when it wiped right off. The gunk on the oven wasn't wet, it was totally dry, but it wiped off and no horrible fumes like from the Easy Off. I've used this method ever since. Cheap and really effective! I think the principal is the ammonia fumes undermine the grip of the grease. Note of caution. Be careful what you use ammonia on to undermine grease build up i.e. on cabinets, trim or anything painted. Too concentrated and it will strip the paint or varnish right off just like paint stripper! 😁

[@bluebird9193]

that’s exactly how i clean stovetop grates. GE customer service told me this trick. Put grates in plastic container with ammonia and seal with foil so no fumes escape. i leave in garage overnight. Baked on gunk wipes clean.

[@cathiefinch6659]

Just remember to use in a well ventilated area- open your windows and keep you pets in a different part of your house away from fumes.

[@pickypants9696]

@@bluebird9193 Yes. I use my oven method with stovetop grates as well. I put the grates in the oven at the same time I'm cleaning the oven with my method, then just pop them out and wipe clean in dish water in the sink. So easy and cheap. No elbow grease required! 😁

[@nancysepic]

Put pan on your stove. Fill halfway with water and add a good amount of salt. Heat the pan until the water is simmering. The grease will float to the top. I do this with all of my metalware and cast iron.

[@MachoRaton]

Deglaze the oan

[@slc1161]

Don't do that to cast iron. You want that seasoning to make it nonstick.

[@nancysepic]

This method doesn't take the seasoning off.

[@denirn8725]

Old stained pans like yours I consider a Culinary Badge of Honor. We all know our pans end up stained with baked-on goodness because we're TOP COOKS! 😊

[@shdwbnndbyyt]

From a 60 year old chemist (me): The issue with the lemon juice/baking soda trial is that lemon juice is acidic (citric acid) and when baking soda gets hit with acid it degrades into carbon dioxide gas and water and sodium citrate (whether mono-, di, or tri- sodium citrate would depend on the pH of the final material). Much of the issue is that the material staining the pans has been carbonized (burnt on). Certain strong acids/bases or solvents could remove the carbonized material, but would attack the metal or be dangerous to your health. Best advice, scrub with wet fine clean sand like we used to do with our iron/steel or aluminum cookware (for camping) with baked on materials. Wasn't done every time, just when we needed it bright and utterly clean. Generally only took 5-10 minutes per pan. NOTE: IT WILL REMOVE ANY SPECIAL SURFACE TREATMENT, as it will take the pan back to bare metal. So you will need to reseason the pan(s).

[@francessandifer5027]

Thank you, I.M.Notamoose!!! Your information can help us to be healthier!!! We need more info like yours!!!

I have a cast iron that is well “seasoned” but I still do routine maintenance with it.

Learned a long time ago that the spray-on coatings really leave a sticky, messy residue; so I use a piece of waxed paper and butter or shortening to grease my pans now.

I love using lemon, peroxide, and baking soda. It works so well. I don't know if you have pets, but if you have a dog and it gets sprayed by a skunk, you can use baking soda, peroxide, and dawn dish soap. Mix it together in a bucket and use it to scrub your dog. It reduces the stink big time and it is safe to use on your dog. In fact, a vet friend of mine said that there have been times when a clients pet had eaten something they shouldn't have and he used peroxide down the dogs throat to induce vomiting. I'm not a vet, but I've done this and it helped tremendously.

😂 I didn't know there was any other way to clean bakeware than Brillo or SOS pads! Also, why did this all go down in the Bathroom? 🚻🤔😅

I subscribed as soon as I heard you laugh at yourself saying somebody might think you’re dirty! I love your personality! Real. You’re the Real deal Holyfield! And your suggestions are top notch. ❤

[@AndreaJean]

You are great!

[@suzyschulze1363]

Thick layer of baking soda- fill up with white vinegar and let it sit over night - worked for me ! 😁👍

[@julieb2398]

This is seasoning! Much like you wouldn't scrub a seasoned cast iron skillet. If you insist try bar keepers friend!

[@YvetteRyanInfiniteVentures]

That's what I was thinking! Bar Keepers Friend works magic!

[@veronicastewart1112]

My pans look just like that and if visitors don't like them, then they don't need to come over. But anyway, if you use Easy Off, you should leave it on overnight.

[@lisajames9824]

i’m with you, you have to leave it on overnight

[@galady8632]

I purchase baking sheets and pizza pans at Dollar Tree. I use them for projects (I make jewelry, paint and stain wooden beads, etc), plus I deliver homemade cookies and other treats on them for families experiencing the loss of loved ones. No reason to return the pans. I also use them for cooking (disposable), and to display magnets, keyrings, etc when vending - pre-pandemic, of course. I treasure my late Mother's cookie sheets, they hold the best memories. The discolored areas are vintage - like me.

I only have <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="16">0:16</a> <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="16">0:16</a> one problem watching your videos (which I love!). I get started and binge watch and don’t get my cleaning done!!😂🤪🤪

[@AndreaJean]

Love that! 😅😅😅

[@pattymiles2688]

I personally think it cooks better with the baked on stuff. If it’s thick, good quality made, it will cook fantastic! Just wash in hot soapy water to get the nights dinner off of it- and dry and put away! Let everybody else stay home if they have a problem with ya pan. I wouldn’t think twice about keeping and using that very well seasoned pan! You wouldn’t catch me using another one if somebody bought it for me. Not gona happen.

[@cathysaucedo8101]

I cleaned houses years ago an we would take a garbage bag an put the pan or oven racks in pour amonia in the bag . Leave it outside to soak for a few hours an it came clean . Some really bad one required a light scrub but always came clean . I still use this cleaning hack today . Love your ideas an use so many of them thanks so much

[@nancyiverson7771]

I totally love this video! So honest! I have a pan like this. I have attempted a few things half-heart. Now, I am excited to just buy a new pan!

[@sallymartin581]

Absolutely love the honesty!

[@thedareneewilliams8360]

Wow!! You have a lot more patience and energy than I do! What a pain in the derriere Energy our products no way. I just recycle those and get some new ones from the Dollar Tree! Thanks for all your videos I appreciate learning from you

[@krreyem7543]

I had some OLD pans that were going into the garbage and a last ditch try was in the summer spraying engine degreaser on pan let sit 1 hour and use garden hose rinse OFF and wash in house with Dawn dish soap and rinse WOW looked like NEW pans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was shocked!!!!

[@jenniferholden9397]

Those pans are not dirty, they are perfectly seasoned. We’re saving the planet.

[@thomasrivest5843]

I could listen to you all the time and you have a awesome laugh

[@ustjayenjay]

Whenever my pans need a good clean I always use oven cleaner. Works amazingly on stove drip pans too!

[@BeeBabbles]

I used baking soda and peroxide on a pan that was pretty bad. But made a paste and used green scrub pad. I didn’t wait long tho. I use just plain baking soda on my glass Pyrex pans when they get those grease spots. Works great.

[@sweetpeepauline]

Thank you for your honesty.

[@brendaleverick3655]

It's a good idea to completely cover new baking sheet pans with foil each and every time first before putting them in the oven, to keep them more pristine. Enjoy your videos! 🙋🏼

[@phoenixrising8007]

Aluminum foil is not a healthy cooking idea, parchment paper is a better choice

[@CocoChanelle-1]

Aluminum foil causes early onset of Alzheimers per study when it gets absorbed in the food when it heats up. So I use parchment paper to cover or a glass pan that cleans easier.

Those pans are great they do what they are suppose to they look good and like you been cooking good! Stop it.🥰 and thanks for the demos!🥰 more, more, more!

Them pans were well seasoned! I wouldn’t worry what others think.

[@1shortgurl]

My mom taught me to use Lava soap with a green thin scrubber. It makes the pans shine! 😊

[@jewelspice7813]

Nothings wrong with that pan 😊. I line mine with aluminum foil when necessary and still use them.

[@dmgscalemodels2825]

We use pans like that to heat up french fries and chicken nuggets or chicken patties. Put a sheet of foil over it and its simple clean up. If you feel the need to scrub then use the bar keepers friend. That stuff is amazing! It comes either powder or liquid abrasive. Works like a charm!

[@kosmosbjm]

I’ve read many comments and it seems the consensus is that the pans are now “well seasoned.” The brown color is the patina that has developed over time, which is a good thing. Therefore, these pans are perfect the way they are and do not need to be replaced or cleaned.

[@aliceryan6015]

I cleaned this morning by putting in a dishwasher tab and a tea kettle full of boiling water and put the lid on the pan and just walked away until it was so cool I actually left it outside because it stunk so bad. (I had accidentally burned a chicken carcass. I didn't realize I left it on at night and it boiled dry, so it just wrecked the pan and, of course, smelled horrible.) I left the stuff out there to sit for about an hour, then went back out with another kettle full of boiling water. I remove the lid from the pot and scrubbed it for maybe one minute, Dumped that water, and emptied the boiling water into the kettle and went over it again. It was good as now. Dishwasher soap is amazing.

[@sheilarogers8719]

Tried the placing the pan in the oven and hit the clean mode. It did a pretty good job

[@jenniferszendi9519]

I make casserole dishes look brand new by spraying them with Easy Off Cold oven cleaner. I do it outside on a glass patio table. Leave it for a while, wipe it off, and put it in the dishwasher. They look absolutely brand new, even my Mother’s 50 year old well used Corning casseroles looked new. 🌷

[@micheleann6099]

You have the best pans, and I hope you didn't throw them away! They are supposed to look like that! Ask anyone who has ever used a Pampered Chef pizza stone, they would tell you that the darker it gets, the. better it is! Having a stone that is just about black, is actually a "Badge of Honor"!

[@ItCantRainForever2]

Soak your pans and throw a used fabric sheet and drop of dishsoap. The grease wipes right up. It's amazing.

[@paulaw3399]

I put baking soda in a Parmigiano shaker. I have one in kitchen, bathroom and laundry. Thought of it years ago. Works great. I use baking soda and vinegar on almost everything. In addition a copper scrubber helps on really burnt pans.

[@patriciabajcer8930]

Thank you. . . I saw the same video as you Couldn’t get mine clean either Finally found Easy Off . .with all the self cleaning ovens it’s difficult to find. Found at Lowe’s Cleaned my two really heavy sheet pans After two applications, but my 3 light weight? Not so well. . .so I am just using Parchment or Foil. I believe in reuse and repurpose so am considering my options.

[@deborahmorreale9488]

I did something similar. I preheat my oven and use oven cleaner as directed. Here's my trick. I spray the burner pans and cookie sheets with the oven cleaner and place them in the oven. Let everything sit for the time according to the instructions or overnight. Rinse. No scrubbing necessary.

[@dianemacdougall319]

Thanks this was interesting and I had done the same techniques w a pan I had burned apple sauce on and I had similar results. It was helpful to see you had similar results. Thank you!!

[@Lee.Willcox]

Well I do love your honesty. You could always get them sand blasted 🤭😎 I'd purchase a new one too !

[@valerienorton4371]

My mother wouldn't have thanked you for doing this to her pans, nor would I. Being an ex chef and as many people have already said these pans are considered well seasoned and anything baked on them only had a rub around with kitchen paper to clean, this way natural oils go into the tins leaving them virtually non stick after a while. The best ever way I found to clean pans and grills from ovens etc was when living in Germany as soldiers wife. All manner of tops are given out for when you have to clean a house you've lived in for X amount of years, to look as clean as it was the day you moved in. Cleaning the oven became the easiest part when a seasoned soldiers wife shared the best way was to fill your bath up with hot water and around 4-5 cups of laundry powder. Put all grill part in pans and baking sheets. Leave for few hours let some water out, turn everything in bath over refill bath as full as could mixing in washing powder at same time. Leave over night. The following day as you pulled each grill out a wipe with any cloth or washing up scouring pad would lift all the grease away in ribbons ,leaving sparkling grills pans and baking sheets.

[@smessner2414]

I use the paste of dawn dish soap and baking soda to clean the oven and pellet grill. Once you smear the paste on, spray with vinegar. Let it sit for a bit and scrub with a green scrubby. Wipe down with a clean wet cloth. I am guessing this would work on your pans, too.

[@ritaramrathan839]

I use white vinegar and baking sòda and scrub it

[@dianebassett1930]

America’s Test Kitchen says it’s ok to have pans like this, don’t worry!

[@cedricksamaniego9146]

[@beekind466]

Someone tried to clean the seasoned finish off of my well-seasoned baking sheet... Nooooooooo....it took years to get that non stick finish. That old thing bakes the prettiest biscuits.😉🥰👍

[@BlankSlateT]

In my experience when my pans get this bad I just stick it in the oven on self clean mode and pans turn out like brand new and reseason them afterwards

[@judyshallstrom415]

My mother put her baking sheets in the oven when she ran the "clean oven" . I'm not sure that is a great idea, but it did remove the mess.
