This weeks' Pin shows some amazing before and after shots of how to get that orange/brown gunk off baking sheets.
THE TEST: Can I remove build-up from my baking sheet by soaking it in hydrogen peroxide and baking soda?
Here's what my pan looked like before and after the solution:
Yeah. Not much change, huh?!
You know what worked way better? An SOS pad and a whole lot of elbow grease:
***ETA: I just noticed that I put the "before" and "after" labels BACKWARDS on this picture! Obviously the nice shiny side is the "after"... sorry about that!The SOS pad does scratch the surface a bit, but my pan already had scratches from years of cutting brownies and homemade pizza, so I figured what's a few more?
THE RESULT: Bummer. The gunk did NOT magically loosen up using the cleaning solution. I don't think it helped remove the build-up at all. If you want clean pans, you're going to have to scrub till your arm cramps to get that orangey crud off.

Try it again with baking soda and vinegar.
Nope vinegar and baking soda will not do the trick especially for gunk that's baked on for a long period of time. Instead try regular old fabric softener like you use for clothes and hot water. Let sit until the water goes cool and scrub off. I passed this on to my mom (she used a couple of dryer sheets in the hot water as she didn't have liquid said it worked awesome) she passed it on to the ladies at church everyone is happy and amazed with it. It works really well for gunky stuff like when you do BBQ pork in the oven and get that baked on mess.
Give it a try I bet you will be happy with it.

Hi There, you fill the sink with very hot water, a cupful of washing detergent( for clothes), and a cupful soda crystals, and immerse your baking tins,leave to soak til water is cool enough to put your hand in then just scrub with a soft scourer.this should certainly remove the burnt on gunk!Rosie.
