I was out last night and DH made himself a pizza for dinner. Good for him except he put the oily

cookie sheet back in the oven and forgot to turn it off. 425° for 2 hours!! I've tried barkeepers friend, steel wool and a paste of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. Does nothing.

Any suggestions, besides telling him to get take out pizza next time?

 
I'm a bit nervous about leaving it in the self clean. I mistakenly left the oven racks in

once and they totally discolored.
The sheet is now splotched a gold color but it doesn't seem to be raised at all.
I'll wait and see what Marilyn's mom's solution was.
Too hot here to self clean today anyway.

Thanks!

 
Don't want him to touch it. Last year I asked him to clean a bathroom. We had to

replace the tub after he used muriatic acid instead of Comet! It looked really good for about 5 min.

 
Ahem. Why isn't *he* scrubbing the darn thing? My dad used to say, "You can

make all the mess you want, as long as YOU clean it up!" It didn't take long before the lesson sunk in. I've scrubbed the bejesus out of pans before. No fun, but now I know better. The memory of cleaning that pot after steaming tamales & running out of water? Burned into my brain.

 
Mom's solution: Smear Cascade Automatic Dishwasher GEL on the pan....

let sit for 5-10 minutes, treating yourself to a chocolate bon-bon while reading 10 pages of that new bodice-ripper.

(Mom, on the other hand, would be taking apart a 6-foot refrigerator--piece by piece--flattening it out and stacking it into a 3-foot square cube then setting it outside on the curb for recycling pick-up.)

Elbow-grease time: Scrub with Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty industrial hand scrubbing pad (6x9"). I think it's green, but not sure.

With a sigh of contentment, cast an admiring glance at that beautiful face in your once again shiny metal pan.

{Mom buys both of these items either at SAM's or COSTCO)
