Cleaning glass pot lid (the kind with metal edge)
 

I picked up a used glass pot lid, the kind with a metal band around the
edge. The glass has cooked-on grease on both sides of the glass and I can't
get this slightly-sticky-in-places residue off. What's a good way to get
the glass on both sides clean and free of that cooked-on grease/fat?

Spray oven cleaner or old fashioned lye. Unless the metal is aluminum,
then use a non-lye oven cleaner, such as one using ethanolamine.

Hello Stan:

The cooked-on 'varnish' (that is more or less what it is) is awfully
hard to dissolve off. As others mentioned, oven cleaner may work.
I've had some luck cleaning cruddy glass---such as the window of a
toaster oven---- with (a) pumice-containing orange hand cleaner and a
sponge, vigorous rubbing; or (b) steel wool soap pads. Both are fairly
aggressive so I don't use them often, but there seems to be little or
no scratching from occasional use.

Regards -- Terry

Stan,

Try Bon Ami. It won't scratch the glass and will scrape off the crud.

Try 50% white vinigar & 50% cream of tarter, and scrub with a green pad.

I just had a similar experience cleaning a glass pie plate.
Use my stainless steel scrubby and it worked a treat. They last
practically forever as well.

I've also found that the green scrubbies (scotch-bright) loose their
tooth with time... I'm always amazed at the comparison when i switch
to a new one.

Soak in water with a capful of fabric softener.

I clean almost everything with fabric softener.

Search google for uses for fabric softener and you'll get great ideas.

Make a hot solution of gel-auto dishwasher detergent and water and find a
glass or plastic tub big enough for your lid,and soak the lid in the
solution for a couple of hours. If you can keep it hot or warm the whole
time,that's better.

If the metal band is stainless steel and not aluminum,just use Easy-OFF
oven cleaner,as directed on the label.

Here's what worked for me twice:
Use some gel-type paint remover like Kleen-Strip on it. I burned some
caramel in a saucepan some time ago and nothing was working on it. I covered
the bottom of the pot with the remover and stirred, picked and scraped at it
with a popsicle stick once a day for a week and this removed the charred mess.
My wife recently burned some corn in the pot (same pot, too!) last week and
again, this method worked to perfection.
I got the idea from a product that Sunbeam marketed in their repair shops
called Sunbeam Frying Pan Cleaner. I bought some and discovered it was actually
paint remover - one of the ingredients is methylene chloride. I wouldn't try
this stuff on aluminum though, since it tends to turn it black.

You're getting an awful lot of "try this" responses! COuld probably buy a
couple of complete sets for the price of the various things suggested if
you don't have them hanging around.

What the hell. Here's a couple of more.
Greased Lightning with a plastic scour pad.
Carburator cleaner.

If it will fit in a crock pot with a bit of laundry detergent then that
will work fine.

Cover the pot lid with a baking soda paste. The next day wash it. If
the gunk is still there, take it outside and spray on some oven
cleaner, wait 10 minutes, rinse, repeat if needed. Use caution.

Bury it in the yard for a month. That will de-grease
almost anything.

Thanks for all the tips. I used Dave M's method-- the Bon Ami. It worked
great: no fumes, no nasty chemicals, no scratches on the glass, and this
cleaning task only took ~ 2 minutes.

I find the same problem you can not get under the metal rim to clean but
yet there is enough room for food and liquid to get under there, very
unsanitary. there is so many pots and pans that have that type of lid.

Soak it in bleach to restore cleanliness. Then rinse well.

No sure but vinegar is real good for cleaning, you might try soaking it in
plain vinegar.

Glass lids with stainless rim look great...until you start using them.Â* Unfortunately they are a pain in the ass to keep looking great.Â* Remember, if you can't clean it easily, you don't want it.Â* Throw the fu cking thing in the trash.Â* Get a restaurant
grade lid that is easy to clean.

Perhaps sometime in the 12 years since he posted, Stan has done exactly that.

Or soak in very hot water for a while- then a small stiff brush.
