Cooking up a storm for our loved ones is incredibly rewarding, but let’s be honest – after whipping up those mouthwatering dishes, the aftermath can be a little less than lovely.
Baking sheets coated with stubborn grease, pots and pans bearing battle scars from burnt-on food – it’s enough to make any mom’s head spin. But fear not! In this blog, we’ll walk you through some tried-and-true methods to restore your baking sheets and to bring back shine and clean pots and pans to their former glory.
We all know the joy of baking up a batch of warm chocolate chip cookies or puff pastry danishes. Or who wouldn’t want to cook up a pot of comforting spicy stew on a chilly night? Clean pots and pans and baking sheets are our trusty sidekicks in cooking and baking. But over time, they can become coated with a layer of baked-on residue, grease, and grime. Here’s how to clean pots and pans, including your baking sheets.
First things first, let’s sort through that stack of cookware. Separate your pots and pans based on their materials. Why, you ask? Because different materials require different cleaning methods. Stainless steel, cast iron, non-stick, and copper each have their own needs.
For those tough, stuck-on messes, start with a good soak. Fill the sink with warm, soapy water and let your pots and pans have a relaxing bath. This will loosen up the grime and make it easier to clean pots and pans. However, avoid soaking cast iron or non-stick pans for extended periods.
Once you have soaked them, it’s time to give them a gentle scrub. Opt for non-abrasive scrubbing pads or brushes to avoid scratching the surfaces. For stainless steel or non-stick pans, use a soft cloth or sponge to prevent damage.
This is a tough one; we don’t want to do it, and nobody else does either, right? Not to mention that we also need to clean the kitchen. So here’s what you can do:
Slice a lemon in half and dip the cut side in salt. Scrub tough stain with the lemon, allowing the citric acid and salt to break down the grease. Rinse and wipe clean.
To tackle those burnt-on residues, mix equal parts of water and white vinegar in the pot or pan. Bring it to a simmer for a few minutes. Let the mixture cool down before scrubbing. The acidity of the vinegar helps loosen the tough bits. This will also give your clean pots and pans shine!
Sprinkle baking soda over, then pour vinegar over it. The fizzing reaction helps to break down stubborn stains. Scrub gently with a non-abrasive scrubber or a nylon brush. Voilà, the grime is gone and you have clean pots and pans!
Your clean pots and pans can go through a lot, but with a bit of care, they’ll last for years!
Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to minimize stuck-on food and grease.

While these pans can handle moderate heat, excessive temperatures can degrade the non-stick coating. Stick to medium or low heat settings for longevity.
Make cleaning a routine. Wipe down after each use and give pots and pans a quick wash before food bits dry and cling.
There you have it! Your clean pots and pans are ready to shine and serve you once again. But hey, I know life can get busy and sometimes you just need a helping hand.
