How to Deep Clean Your Baking Sheets

Posted on

The holidays are here, and for many of us, that means baking season! From sugar cookies to gingerbread houses, your baking sheets are about to get a workout. But let's face it - those trusty pans probably have a buildup of grease, stains, and residue from years past. Before you start rolling out dough, take a little time to give your baking sheets a proper deep clean. With Nellie's Dishwasher Powder, this task is easier (and more satisfying) than you think! 

Why Deep Clean Your Baking Sheets? 

Over time, baking sheets can accumulate baked-on grease, food stains, and discolouration that not only make them look less appealing but can also affect baking results. Grease residue can cause uneven cooking, and stains can transfer odours to your holiday treats (nobody wants cookies with a hint of last summer's roasted veggies). A deep clean ensures your baking sheets are sparkling and ready for every festive creation. 

How to Deep Clean Your Baking Sheets with Nellie's 

Nellie's Dishwasher Powder isn't just for dishwashers - it's a versatile cleaning powerhouse. Here's how you can use it to refresh your baking sheets: 

1. Make a Cleaning Paste 

  • In a small bowl, combine Nellie's Dishwasher Powder with a little water to create a thick paste. 
  • Spread the paste evenly across the surface of your baking sheet, focusing on stained or greasy areas. 

2. Let it Sit 

  • Allow the paste to sit on the baking sheet for about 30 minutes. This gives the cleaning agents in the Dishwashing Powder time to break down stubborn grease and stains. 

3. Scrub Away the Grime

  • Use Nellie's Forever Brush or a durable sponge to scrub the baking sheet. The Dishwasher Powder's powerful formula, combined with the scrubbing action, will lift away even the toughest stains. 

4. Rinse & Wash 

  • Rinse the baking sheet thoroughly with warm water to remove all residue. 
  • Wash the sheet with warm, soapy water to ensure a clean, shiny surface. 

5. Dry & Admire 

  • Dry your baking sheet completely with a clean towel, and admire the results - your baking sheet will look nearly as good as new!
Bonus Holiday Cleaning Hack 

While you've got Nellie's Dishwasher Powder handy, don't stop at baking sheets! You can also use the same paste method to deep clean your oven racks, stovetop drip pans, and even your kitchen sink. It's the perfect way to get your kitchen holiday-ready. 

Let the Holiday Baking Begin

Once your baking sheets are clean, you're all set to bake up a storm! Whether it's a batch of classic holiday sugar cookies or savory appetizers, you'll know you're working with tools that are fresh, clean, and ready to deliver the best results.
