Default How to clean aluminum baking pans used for roasting. Black, dark brown, light brown difficult to remove residues.

How do you clean an aluminum baking pan that was used for roasting?...
there are baked on black, dark brown, light brown difficult to remove
residues

How would that home cleaning remedies guy on public television, Graham
Haley, clean it with some compound of various proportions of vinegar,
baking soda, baking powder, cream of tartar or other substances?...
especially without need for any elbow grease!

If the stuff works that well I'm definitely buying some. I Googled
"sok off" and came up with only a couple of hits. There's "Soak Off"
which also only returned a few hits. Where do you get yours?

There is a product called aluminum foil which obviates the need for all
that elbow grease, etc. Don't generally like to advocate waste, but
here it's the foil(which is recyclable in some jurisdictions) vs. the
hot water and detergent. BTW when I have a large pan, but only regular
foil at hand, I combine two pieces with a tightly double- folded seam
like a metal roof seam, running something hard along it to seal.
Hardly ever leaks.

It's bound to happen... if anyone suggests oven cleaner, do not do it.
If you want some amusement value, go outside, take some oven cleaner
and spray it on a sheet of AL foil, quickly ball it up, and leave it
on a non flammable surface until the exothermic reaction starts it
smoking.

I've had some badly scorched sheets. A couple times i scrubbed them
with a stainless steel scrubby (love them!)... I've also "seasoned" a
few by coating with light oil and baking till black... like you would
cast iron. The problem with cookie sheets and scrubbing is that you
will micro scratch the sheet, which will likely make it a little more
prone to sticking.


good luck! (and learn to use parchement paper or foil on your sheets!

Heat it up until it glows, and dump water into it?
Use this stuff?

Throw the crap away and buy decent cookware?




Automatic dishwasher detergent is a really strong cleaner.
Heat up enough water to fill a container large enough to hold the item you
want cleaned,then dissolve some automatic dishwasher(gel dissolves best)
detergent into it and pour into the container (or put hot water into the
container and mix in the detergent)then immerse the item.
Let it soak until the stuff is eaten away.It helps if the solution is kept
hot,and for really tough deposits,you may have to replace with a fresh
batch of solution.

The problem is then finding a sufficiently large container for your item.

For cookies I use a teflon coated pan. I don't bake cookies on my
aluminum cookie sheet anymore. I use it for other oven tasks, not
cookies. Stainless, it seems to me, would have problems of its own.
Teflon cleans so readily, it's really just the thing for cookies. Cleans
in a snap. Must use plastic utensils and scrubbers, however!

My advice would be to either leave all the black scorched residue or throw
them away and purchase stainless or enamel based utensils.
Leaving them black would keep the surface sealed. cleaning would open the
surface and allow minute particles enter the food you cook.
It has been suggested else where that aluminium has accumulative effect on
the body/ brain and could be the result of altzimers and associated
problems. Why take the risk to save a few pennies

I've heard of that stuff. The issue of dark or shiny for cooking
delicate stuff is the outside of the pan. Some recipes burn on the
bottom before the rest is done if the sheet is too dark. For roasting,
dark pan cooks faster and that might not agree with some recipes. It's
a lot harder to remove burnt on grease than it is to properly clean pans
after each use.
