"Since baking season is finally here, I decided to test out the winning method from The Kitchn's baking sheet cleaning showdown: baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. I've tried plenty of tricks to clean my baking sheets with decent success, so I figured now was the time to properly clean the one that looks a little too well seasoned - i.e., it's impossible to know what the original color was. Here's what happened when I tried this game-changing trick."
"Sprinkle baking soda all over the baking sheet, making sure to cover the entire surface. Put hydrogen peroxide into a spray bottle and spray an even layer until all the powder is wet. Let it sit for about nine hours. Finally, use a pan scraper to remove the dried paste. Scrub the pan with warm, soapy water and a scrubby sponge."
"As I scraped my baking sheet, I was feeling disillusioned that this method might not have worked well for me - the burnt (or, ahem, seasoned) parts of the sheet looked the same as when I started. However, I did see a little bit of the burnt brown residue mixed in with the dried paste, so I knew it had worked somewhat, but I was eager to scrub to see what would happen."
A cleaning method uses baking soda sprinkled across a baking sheet, hydrogen peroxide sprayed to wet the powder, a roughly nine-hour dwell time, scraping off the dried paste, then scrubbing with warm soapy water and a sponge. After scraping and washing, some burnt brown residue mixed into the paste and came off. The process revealed much of the original aluminum shine and produced a significant visual improvement, though results were not uniformly perfect across the pan. One or two additional repetitions could further restore heavily seasoned or deeply burnt areas. Overall, the approach provides an effective deep-clean for neglected baking sheets.
