Chef’s simple cleaning hacks leaves sheet pans looking brand new
Sheet pans are considered kitchen workhorses. From making bread rolls to roasting vegetables and meats, you’ll find them extremely reliable.
Because of how often they’re used, sheet pans seem to appear eternally dirty.
This problem gets worse if they’re neglected. Because others don’t see them all the time and there’s the idea that they’ll just get dirty again, some people don’t do their best job cleaning them.
Fortunately, one man decided to reveal a secret to keeping baking sheets looking brand new all the time.
Mike, the man behind Kitchen Tips Online, shared exactly how he keeps his sheet pans sparkling clean. His tip is super easy and won’t take a lot of your time.
In the video, you’ll see Mike showing a dirty sheet pan.
It’s heavily oxidized and full of baked-on gunk and grease. It’s a sight you’ve probably seen in your own kitchen, too.
Mike placed the sheet pan in his sink.
There, he sprayed his special cleaning solution and allowed it to sit for about 15 minutes. After that, he went ahead and gave the sheet pan a good scrub.
For most people, scrubbing pans isn’t fun.
With lots of grease and gunk, making baking pans spotless takes a lot of work and time. If you’re a busy person, the last thing you’d want to happen is to spend hours in your kitchen scrubbing sheet pans.
In Mike’s case, scrubbing his sheet pan didn’t take a lot of effort.
After giving it a final rinse, the sheet looked so much better. It seemed almost like brand new.
Right after sharing the results, Mike was generous enough to share more about his special cleaning solution.
It’s Easy Off, a popular oven cleaning solution. And the best part? It’s widely available. In fact, even your local stores have it.
Although the solution worked, it has its limitations.
The product doesn’t work well on aluminum. It will just sit on the surface even after you’ve followed the rinsing instructions to a tee.
Mike’s video has been viewed more than 3.8 million times.
Most of the people who’ve watched it found his tip incredibly helpful. One of the viewers commented:
“Why didn’t I found you earlier! A couple weeks ago a threw two sheets out. And bought some beautiful sparkling new ones. I do actually bake. Bread and so on. The new ones already have some ugly stains starting up. This time I won’t wait until they are horrible. I’ll keep that easy off under the sink and leave my bar keepers secret in hiding…just for the bar!”
Another viewer commented:
“This is absolutely amazing. I’ve been trying to scrub mine like crazy. Definitely gonna try this. Thank you for showing us this trick.”
