How to Properly Clean Your Sheet Pan | Made In Cookware

[@madonnahagedorn5649]

You are wonderful. I love a man who likes a clean sheet pan. I am trying your method. Thank you.

[@ElizabethGBurroughs]

It worked! I had baked a pecan pie that spilled over onto the pan and then baked onto it. I used the vinegar and baking soda and let it sit overnight. I actually used paper towels to clean it! Thank you!

[@MadeInCookware]

YAY! Glad to hear :D

[@wyomtnhippie]

Doesn’t it feel great when you transform your life and stop being dependent on paper towels!! ; ) Keep up the great work : )

[@christophercreasy5843]

I needed this, I have ruined way too many sheet pans. THANKS, STEVE!

For anyone thinking of using this frequently recommended cleaning combo, it's worth noting that, other than the mechanical action of the bubbles in the early stages of the reaction, there is almost nothing gained by mixing these two - you'd be better off using them separately! From Amanda Morris at Viriginia Tech University: What Happens When You Mix Baking Soda and Vinegar? Let’s start with the basics (literally). Baking soda is a base, and vinegar is an acid. When they’re combined, acids “donate” protons to bases; in this case, it’s acetic acid lending a hydrogen proton to the bicarbonate. When bicarbonate gains a hydrogen proton, it forms carbonic acid (or H2CO3) which is unstable and eventually decomposes. Once that happens you’re left with water, carbon dioxide, and acetate and sodium ions. The carbon dioxide gained in the reaction is what makes it bubbly, which looks appealing. But once the bubbles stop, you’re left with what Morris describes as “glorified water.”

[@e.conboy4286]

Great explanation. Thanks.

[@RossDCurrie]

I assume the acid in the vinegar breaks down the grease, and then abrasiveness of the baking soda does the rest? Not sure how that goes if the first thing you do is neutralise the acidity with the baking soda

[@Hamspiced]

She hit the nail on the head. you are basically creating slightly salty water mixing these two.

[@truthseeker243]

OMG why are you 3 laboring over this. You saw it work didn't you? What's your purpose in debating the molecules. 😂😂😂. "Scientific" brains, but no "common sense", which is even more useful. Smh.

[@Glacies_00]

You would be right in other situations. Baking soda and vinegar *usually* don't do much unless you're looking for bubbles. For cleaning aluminum, however, it actually *does* work, because the aluminum plays a role in the chemical reaction. Obviously as you can see also worked without much scrubbing on his part because it sat overnight and melted off. Its not the same as mixing the two and cleaning a cup or something. This reaction also works when you're cleaning tarnished off of sterling silver as well- hot vinegar, baking soda and a wad of aluminum in the solution melts tarnish off better than just baking soda and vinegar

Welcome Back Steve! The sweater vest grew some sleeves.

[@jennaseco1513]

Welcome back, Steve! Love the tips & tricks

[@mikemoore8902]

Those pans look so fresh and so clean

[@palatefilms8713]

Steve is back! Loving this video, great tips!

[@mattgunderson350]

Steve’s back! Going to have to try this with my sheet pans at home.

[@imasahm13]

Made In - very nice pots and pans. Good taste.

[@MadeInCookware]

Thank you so much 😊

[@adamthemute]

Heat transfers better with a "seasoned" layer of oil on pans, like your cast iron skillet. Yes it gets brown, but it will work better.

[@MadeInCookware]

Thanks for the tip!

[@truthseeker243]

I would like to see the science on that. Aluminum is not the same as cast iron, and even with cast iron, the oil "seasoning" is applied to a cleaned skillet. Neat knicks go for aesthetics, and a grungy aluminum pan doesn't suffice. No right or wrong here. To each his own.

[@arowefilms]

​@@truthseeker243there is a science and many youtube videos that show better heat transfer over a freshly clean new sheet like in this video. I was shocked as well

[@2ndRatePetronius]

Brilliant!

[@Emy53]

Thank you..I absolutelylove the vinegar and baking powdersolution. Can I use it on my nonstick pans without removing the enamel?

[@christopherklotz2058]

This was exactly what i was looking for. Thank you! 💪

[@619deceiver]

A quicker way to get the 3rd sheet clean that I used was... take a some aluminum foil scrunch it unto a ball add some dish soap and water and scrub... YES, it will leave micro scratches on the pan, but works fast and effectively !

[@kylek8837]

Will the baking soda and vinegar be okay to use on nonstick sheets as well?

[@bethhayes8807]

What pans do you use? I have an orange one that says non stick but discolored and has marks that won’t wash off. I’ll get one like yours!

[@chrisj7663]

Excellent tutorial. Thanks

[@MadeInCookware]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bdudley2991]

And a sneaky tribute to SRV. 👍

[@johannafriedt6362]

These sheet pans certainly look new only minimal use ? nothing seasoned. I wonder how you clean the seasoned burnt on grease sheet pans? I guess will have to use caustic cleaning products?

[@fatmedaher6677]

Thank you

[@MadeInCookware]

Welcome!

[@linsjack2]

I wish more paper towels were used in this video.

[@thomassecurename3152]

Steve. For ‘inherited’ baking sheets made from stamped sheet metal (no non-stick or coatings or aluminum) can it be placed inside a self cleaning oven? And cleaned this way? Bottom charred too.

[@roberttaylor9259]

check out america's test kitchen testing on this. A shiny reflective sheet pan reflects heat. The same principles as a light colored metal roof on a house. A seasoned sheet pan absorbs the heat and promotes browning. If you're ever befuddled as to why your roast vegetables are getting caramelized if you're using very silver pans that's why.

[@nikooooo7661]

its an aluminum pan. shouldnt have it look dirty or have any bits leftover on it..

[@dorcasderivera7437]

Very nice job, I still have a problem with my paella Pam ?

Hi -- the video mentioned the Made In stainless steel cleaner...when would that be appropriate to use? Thanks

[@BigDub24]

very helpful its time to dig out those embarrassing looking pans and let them soak

[@jenniferwroniewicz8526]

Can you do this with the non-stick sheet pans? Specifically, the vinegar & baking soda?

[@nikooooo7661]

yes just dont scratch it. id reccomend not even using non stick sheet pans though. theres no point usually

[@woodstream6137]

@@nikooooo7661 I'm with you on non stick. Refuse to buy or use them, even the 'wonder color' pans. If i have to use extra oil, so be it. They may claim their finishes are safe but the manufacturing process isn't.

[@nikooooo7661]

@@woodstream6137 all i have is a nonstick fry pan (of very high quality) mainly for eggs or tossing noodles or something like that. it hardly ever gets touched by utensils. besides that I don't use them at all.

[@drpaul1152]

how do clean the stains in the corners after many uses

[@allenmcneary2917]

You the MAN. Steve, gotta turn you off…gotta clean my stewpot (ceramic)…slow cooked short ribs…oy

[@scottschmittmusic]

Dig it thNkd

[@kjmagnan1s]

A shiny sheet pan is actually worse for cooking and browning. Just clean and scrape and let it darken and develop a patina

[@nikooooo7661]

shouldnt do that with aluminum ever

[@e.conboy4286]

Just buy a dark pan for this purpose.

[@fia8079]

😂 when you have baking pans that you've gotten dirty to record this they dont look baked on stains but put on to look stained. Get outta da kitchen when you dont know how to get those real dirty pans clean and fake it.

[@truthseeker243]

'Get out of da kitchen' if you don't clean your pans everytime...BEFORE they get disgusting looking. Dats da test, 😂
