The BEST Way to Clean Drip Pans!

This is the only method that worked for me!

[@maddiejoy7896]

I get lots of questions about the essential oils in this. I had heard they were good for cutting thru the grease, but I’ve tried it again without and it still worked fine! Don’t stress it if you don’t have the oils!

[@lynnfinney5829]

If you wet the pan with water or vinegar first the baking soda will stick to the pan and then you can spray it with the vinegar. You will also use less this way.

[@epayne]

Note to renters, some stove tops on these older models of ovens will actually lift up so you can clean underneath the whole stove top. I didn't know that until I started cleaning houses.

I inherited my grandmother's house, and scrubbed with warm soapy water and steel wool for an hour in despair. Quick search on the 'tube, and this absolutely works wonders. Thanks! Looked in some of my old Mary Ellen hint books, and found this method there as well. It's a lost art, it seems. I could have saved myself a good deal of work and time if I had just looked first. Also, old household hint books are worth having. You never know what we forgot until you look.

Thank you for letting us know it works on an old stove. I just moved into my in-laws house and the original 43 year old stove drip pans have probably never been cleaned. I too have tried everything!

Try the NO scrub method of thoroughly spraying with "Easy Off" oven cleaner, put in a Ziploc bag overnight and the next morning rinse.

[@thepipejunkie8359]

You are a lifesaver! I live alone and I have been trying to figure out a way to clean those darn things, thank you!

[@npkrn6764]

I use baking soda and hydrogen peroxide (H2o2) works for inside stove too and no smell (unlike vinegar!) Also, I take them out of the stovetop and soak them in the mixture in a large bowl and scrub them in the sink, which is less messy. Otherwise all the mixture chunks can possibly get into the electric attachment etc. And creates more work cleaning top of stove and down in the burner bins.

[@djboyd94]

Better way! Fill bucket baking soda and vinegar, let sit, rinse off! Wahla MAGIC!

i didnt believe you. then i went and did it, and it really works. that's nuts! awesome, so awesome. thank you!

[@thomashughes4859]

So, chemically, you have limonene - a great grease cutter - and the action of a baking-soda-and-vinegar paste, which amounts to a carbonic acid paste until the CO2 leaves the morass. Hm ... seems like a cheap way to do this. I would probably just get "Simple Green", which is a dynamite degreaser, and then add some beer - so the guys won't mind doing it - and you should get similar results. Steel wool will score the pan so that the next cleaning will be quite a bit more difficult. Try Kosher salt and a cloth for the abrasive. That works on cast iron pans. To keep from doing this ever, put aluminium foil around the pans, and replace monthly. :D Didn't mean to hijack your wonderful video, but it got me to thinking, and I like thinking and teaching.

[@maddiejoy7896]

Great information! Thanks for sharing the scientific aspect of it. I hope that the guys watching are secure enough in their masculinity that they don't feel like they have to spend extra on beer to avoid using the ever-effeminate vinegar lol!

[@ChrisMacwriter]

Thank you for making this videos, and for all your helpful videos thus far. I want to let you and everyone else know that whenever I need to scrape ANY tiny crevice, I use those little plastic tasting spoons. They come in all sizes on eBay, and you can use them to remove the lime around faucets, stubborn stains in toilets, stuck on grease on drip pans, (use a wet paste of Bon-Ami to facilitate the process) , glue from labels on bottles (using coconut oil as a lubricant after removing the paper part of the label, fry pans, coffee pots, and hundreds of other things. The best part is they don't scratch ANY type of surface, (that I've discovered so far). Finding something that wouldn't mar the enamel on a beautiful old stove was the reason I went to a plastic spoon in the first place! It was a simple picnic spoon, but the tasting spoons work SO MUCH BETTER! (Note that I don't use Teflon, so I cannot attest to their effectiveness on that product). Best of all, when their edges get worn out, they are cheap enough to grab another for your next project!

They are not cheap anymore. No longer get 4 in a pkg. & finish is easily damaged in a short time.

[@sunnyskyez]

I use this method as well but I lightly mist the pan with water then shake off the excess before sprinkling the baking soda on. The baking soda catches the first time, after spraying the vinegar water on, I dont need to reapply the baking soda. Great method.

[@d.l.sosnik2135]

my method for keeping the stove top nice and shiny is to buy TWO sets of pans, (they aren't that expensive), and use one for cooking, and one for after cooking, when everything has been cleaned up. I just run the "cooking" set through the dishwasher if I have to, because they will be constantly stained and who has time for all that ? Thanx for this video.

[@jsweizston5410]

@@morganboss7649 Not true. You can line pans in the oven which goes well over 500 degrees Fahrenheit, the aluminum foil will not melt. You've gotta go over 1,000 for the melting point of aluminum. You'll probably have an issue if you let grease accumulate and that will do it but aluminum foil won't melt in an oven or stove top.

[@brettepruitt8960]

This worked well on moderately soiled pans, but did little to clean a badly soiled one. I even left the stuff on overnight, then reapplied it the next morning. Not much difference. I sprayed the vinegar on first. That gave the soda something to cling to. Then I gave it another spritz of vinegar. I didn't have any essential oil. I don't think it would have helped on the three pans that cleaned up well without it.

[@donnaleeah5075]

I found out from another video if you put your drip pan in a ziplock bag and add ammonia in the bag, zip it shut and put it outside for 24hr all you have to do is just dump it out afterwards and just wash it off with dish soap and water and rinse. I don’t have to scrub at all!

My drip pans are sitting in this solution right now! I don't have essential oils so I added lemon juice instead. Can't wait to see if it works!

[@maddiejoy7896]

Best of luck! The lemon juice might be a little sticky so if you don’t get the result you want, try again without it. When I made this video, I had been lead to believe the essential oils were necessary for this but I have since tried it without and it worked fine. I think they probably just help with the vinegar smell.

[@dangervich]

When vinegar and baking soda are first mixed together, hydrogen ions in the vinegar react with the sodium and bicarbonate ions in the baking soda. The result of this initial reaction is two new chemicals: carbonic acid and sodium acetate.

[@maryw3989]

Best way ever is a soak in soapy water followed by a soapy steel wool. I just buy plain steel wools and charge it with dish detergent when I use it. We have little Asian stores in NZ where you can buy anything, for 12 we pay about $3, so it costs a lot less than those already soaped

[@gypsygirl731]

great job but I have to agree with most people have no patience to hard. I did it and it works for me and its safe and cheap.You can use peroxide if you have no vinegar or lemon juice. If one likes oven cleaner, hm.. actually ruined the finish and never shined again. I hear from a restaurant cook theres is carbon off at restaurant suppliers to use on those and bottom of nasty burnt on pot bottoms so for those who like to spray and pay use carbon off. Otherwise I like this method daily so it doesnt build up baking soda alone will work well daily.

[@susanlbk]

Worked great! But I'm quite sure that what you called steel wool is a stainless steel pot scrubber. A steel wool pad might take away the shininess of your pans.

[@delmahockett1747]

I was wondering….

[@Shaggy2286]

Great video! :) Few cents worth of supplies and BAM done! Doing a yearly deep clean and steel wool + elbow grease only works for so long before you google the easy way. ^_^ That isn't really gross, not much different than a poorly seasoned cast iron pan. With my elements, the stove is ancient and the elements aren't held on very well so I'm afraid of braking it by moving them too much. Luckily that stuff doesn't smoke, smell or cause any issues cooking so it's nothing more than an ugly charcoal/grease coating. :) Wonder if you can season it for a none-stick surface?

[@PhoenixMinistry]

Mel Finehout OMG! That sounds like it would work but really expensive and maybe even a little hazardous to your health. How many bottles did you need to buy to boil it in the dish soap? I have several burners. I would pr baby have to buy several to make sure they are all under the liquid soap. How long did you boil it for?

[@susanspatz9501]

I have stainless steel frying pans, and when they get really stained with baked on grease I put them in my large canning pot with boiling water, dish soap,( just maybe a quarter of a cup,) and baking powder. This should also work for the drip pans, I boil my frying pans for about 30 minutes and then take my scrubby and scrub off the loosened grease.

[@susanspatz9501]

You would only need about a quarter of a cup to the boiling water.

[@laggyx500]

The oil is just for smell. Mix the baking soda and vinegar/water (just need the water) beforehand to make a paste. Spread the paste on and then let it set.

[@gigi4713]

I’ve read on so many DIY cleaning sites that mixing baking soda and vinegar simply creates a salt water solution and is ineffective. They advise to use both, but separately. What’s your opinion?

[@maddiejoy7896]

That's why I didn't mix the baking soda first! Any recipe that tells you to mix baking soda and vinegar and then apply it is essentially just making salt water. With the process I used in this video, having that neutralizing reaction bubbling on the drip pans felt like it helped work some of the gunk off (kinda like the cleaner scrubbing bubbles) while still leaving enough baking soda to absorb some grease and be used as an abrasive later in the process. Hope that answers your question!

Any one have any ideas of what cause drip pans to constantly disintegrate? When I moved in here( I rent) 10 years ago the drip pans looked like they were filthy, I soaked them in hot soapy water like I always have, much to my surprise the weren't dirty at all they were actually disintegrating! So I bought new ones within a month same thing, Every single time I buy new ones it happens I don't even have to spill anything in them! they just start flaking apart and getting big holes "burnt' into them, I do not cook on high temps. Ended up a year ago getting a brand new stove, when my oven, and all but 1 burner stopped working. The Landlord had a brand new one delivered, the drip pans were so sparkly and new and pretty, I wiped them out every night after I did dishes, again I don't cook on high, I don't over boil water too often (maybe once every 3 months or so), I don't get a lot of food dropped into the drip pans. Yet those pretty drip pans were flaking and holes burnt in within a month of getting the stove!

Seta-San I have also heard of people using easy off or ammonia to clean their drip pans, but since baking soda and vinegar are cheap, work well, and don't produce any fumes they are a popular choice.

I don't have lemons but I do have baking soda and vinegar

Seta-San I use oven cleaner let sit and scrub

It works and it's cheap. Plain and simple. Bonus - Most households already have these two things sitting around, so you usually don't even have to make a run to the store. :)

I use amonia. Put burner plates in a gallon ziplock bag and add about 2 tbsp of amonia, Seal it up and shake to coat and then let it set over night. Then just take a scrubber and clean them off. Tou dont have to even scrub hard. This works really well

mine aren't so much grease stains but a bunch of different things gs baked on and has petrified or mineralized if that's the right word. I'll give this a go and see if it makes a fifference if not I'll have to buy a new ones.
