My wife is a hair stylist. Several years ago she was complaining about what a pain it was cleaning hairspray crud off her curling irons. I suggested she try the cold oven cleaner product. Worked great! A quick spray and let it sit for a few minute, wipe off. Follow up with a damp cloth to remove cleaner residue 👍

[@therealaj68]

Thanks for the tip on cleaning cookie sheets. I obviously have several that need my upmost attention. In the meantime, one of my "tips" for the kitchen is when baking a chocolate cake, ģrease the baking pan and instead of using flour, use cocoa. The unsweetened kind. Gives a really nice flavor to the cake. Also, when baking banana bread, I grease then coat with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon 😋 👌

[@KitchenTipsOnline]

Hey that's a great trip! I don't do a lot of baking myself but my daughter does. I'm going to pass your tip on to her, thanks, Mike 🧔

[@benth162]

Yep, that is exactly what I have been using for at least ten years to keep my oven pans clean. It just came to me one day that if it could clean an oven, then it should have no problem cleaning those baked on bits of food from pans. When I saw how well it worked it became my go/to for cleaning up stuff nothing else would touch. Sometimes it helps to use what is called a Stainless Steel Sponge instead of Brillo pads. Of course it may leave larger visible scratches than would a Brillo pad, but it will take much less elbow grease to get those hard baked on issues like he had in that lower right corner which he never fully removed.

[@KitchenTipsOnline]

That is an excellent suggestion. Thanks for the tip, Mike 🧔

[@uscrooster4148]

THIS METHOD WORKS GREAT!!! Thank you so much for making this video. My aluminum pan has been accumulating baked on grease for over 5 years, and I was able to get the top side looking brand new after about 10-15 minutes of scrubbing. Most of that time was spent getting interior folds clean (where bottom meets side wall). I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I couldn't help myself. The bottom surface with the dark, caked-on grease came off so easily I almost cussed out loud 😂 I actually left the oven cleaner on the pan for two hours in the garage. FYI, leave the garage door open about 1ft. I left it closed and came back about 10 mins later and the entire 2-car garage smelled like the cleaner. There was no scent at all after two hours with the 1ft gap. Thanks again!

You can clean your pans at the same time as the oven by spraying the oven first and then the pans and place all in the oven. Contains the mess.

[@summerfoster7339]

That is a great idea ,I would never thought of that. I just recently started using Dawn power wash on the bottom of my pots and pans , it does wonders and you don’t even have to scrub(which I do). Showed my mom and she was amazed. She went and bought several bottles and used them all within a few days.

[@LG-KETO]

Thanks! I have a kitchen tip to share....when our coffee/tea mugs get stained to the point where the dishwasher no longer gets them clean, here’s what I found to be helpful: take a piece of paper towel and moisten with white vinegar. Use this to rub the inside of the cup. The vinegar will remove the stain easily. Then, just wash the vinegar out with soap & water or put it back in the dishwasher to remove the vinegar!

[@KitchenTipsOnline]

Hey that is a great tip! I can't wait to try it. I appreciate you sharing, Mike 🧔

[@robertmontefusco8302]

Just put a very small amount of bleach in a mug then fill it with water. Let it sit for a couple of minutes. I line up all the mugs and cups and then pour the stuff from one mug to the other every couple of minutes. It cleans them all quickly. Then wash them with dish liquid and water to get rid of the bleach smell.

[@reesaserik3759]

I use vinegar as well, but I just fill the container up with water and vinegar (in the morning) and let sit until I am ready to fix lunch. Wash with soap and water and done. The family has been using vinegar for stains for generations.

[@cindybradley3543]

Bleach works really well for those stains also.

@@robertmontefusco8302 If you use a mug for tea and coffee it will really stain. Use some mugs for tea and others for coffee. Just rinsing mugs after use helps. Fill with water until you wash them.

[@TheEdwardrommel]

That was my concern: Ventilation. Easy Off I believe says to use only in a "well-ventilated room" because the fumes can be quite toxic. If I tried this method in my commercial BBQ dish pit it might cause a catastrophe. But I can't really take these cook sheets home to do it. Restaurants probably think it's just an appearance issue and doesn't really effect the taste of the food or efficiency of the cooking process.

[@garygushue4273]

[@CaptainClickie]

This has been my holy grail for years. I’ve experimented with every solvent and cleaning product I could think of including the original EZOff oven cleaner which I occasionally use on my stainless cookware when I scorch something badly. Oven cleaner seems to be the only product that can eat through the burnt-on polymerized oils and fats. However it does ruin the aluminum. The trick here is the “Fume Free” version which frankly doesn’t work as well in the oven. I incorrectly assumed it would have same negative effect on my sheet pans and was ecstatic to find that I was wrong. It worked great and didn’t damage pans at all. It does require more effort that the original full-fume version, but no more that I was already expending with dish soap and steel wool pads which never removed the baked-on blackness. Huge kudos on this tip! This is actually the first video review worthy of the time it took to write. One note worth mentioning is that shiny new pans don’t cook quite the same as the discolored ones so you may have to adjust cook time or temperature a little bit. There are plenty of videos that describe this phen in more detail.

[@LKMNOP]

I just clean the inside of the pan and not the bottom of the fan. That helps a lot with the browning of food.

[@BrownEyedGirl1367]

Keep used, but not used up, Steel wool soap pads in a baggie in the freezer between uses. They won’t rust and one really lasts a long time before worn out.

Just a tip..I myself have always cleaned my baking pans/sheets the same but that extra baked on gunk that you're scrubbing so hard will come off very easily with boiling water poured over it and scrape off with a spatula! Same with burned pans with food stuck in the bottom, no need for lemon juice or peroxide or other things just simply cover the burned on food with water bring it to a boil and scrape off with a spatula or wooden spoon. It takes very little water and boils fast and comes off quick, happy cleaning😁

[@janetj1638]

Thanks for personal reply Mike. I understand and now will have to get the fume free version of oven cleaner! What I’ve done all my years is just the pads like I mentioned. Never actually allowed my sheets to get that bad. Always scrubbed them after use. AND, I forgot to mention....... my cookie pans aren’t aluminum, my father made them out of stainless steel. Some regular size, some larger. I love ‘em. People tell me I make the best cookies. I attribute that to my pans. Always clean and shiny. Not close to kitchen or I would send you pictures.

[@KitchenTipsOnline]

You're welcome Janet, but here's the thing, if you have stainless steel pans, which are the best by the way, you don't have to scrub them at all. That's because you can put them right in the dishwasher. Obviously you won't be able to stand up large pans because they would block the wash arm in your dishwasher. I have a couple stainless steel pans myself and after I use them, I lay them down on top of everything else on the upper rack. Works like a champ! They won't get tarnished in the dishwasher if they are stainless steel, Mike 🙂

Here's one for Christmas baking time: when making cookie frosting (I make a cream cheese buttercream), use only 1 beater in the mixer, whip the butter before adding the cream cheese. Then beat the butter and cream cheese until smooth and thick. Add the first cup of powdered sugar (my recipe calls for 3 1/2 cups) along with the flavoring extract. Beat until combined and then beat the rest of the powdered sugar in 1 cup at a time. The frosting comes out creamier than when beating the sugar in all at once. Also, I try to make the icing a couple days ahead of time, then refrigerate it until I need it. The longer it chills, the better it tastes.

I don't wash my baking sheets. Instead, I always use parchment paper when baking with them. If something spills on the sheet, I wipe it off with a paper towel. I did this as an experiment when I got a new set of baking sheets last Christmas. They still look brand-new!

[@xiola]

@J OneLife You can often get parchment and and aluminum foil at the dollarstore nowadays! But, more importantly, if you're just doing something dry like cookies, you can re-use the parchment several times though! (at least twice on each side if not more) before throwing it out. I often re-use my tinfoil too, depending what I used it for. (And I mean, lots of people buy cooking spray, which is gross and a waste of an aerosol can, and you have to clean greasy overspray off your counter and stove... I was always taught to just wipe oil or margarine on the pans with a piece of waxed paper but it depends what you're doing... if it's sheet baking I'll usually use parchment. If it's like a loaf pan or cake pan, I'll put waxed paper at the bottom to make sure it comes out of the pan smoothly, and then clean the sides.)

Vee Cee, I suppose it's possible that the Brillo pad leaves some scratches in aluminum, but not likely on stainless steel. If you have stainless steel sheet pans, you can put them in the dishwasher after every use. Can't do that with aluminum because it will furnish the Finish. Mike ☺
