Cleaning Baked-On Pans Without Scrubbing
This simple trick is an easy way of cleaning burnt/baked-on pans without scrubbing! If you’re looking for a simple way to clean all that sticky, burnt/baked-on residue off your pans without using elbow-grease, you’re in luck! (Works great on crock-pots and casserole dishes too.)
This cleaning hack is a lifesaver! If you’re like me and you use your crock-pot on a regular basis you know what a chore it can be to clean. While your dinner has been slow-cooking for 6-8 hours inside of that pot… it’s also been cooking onto the sides of your pot to form a substance almost like concrete!
Casserole dishes can be the same way, especially the corning ware type… similar to the inside of a crock-pot, which also makes them difficult to clean! Especially if you’ve made a dish that caramelized inside of it. No worries, I have the solution!
A friend of mine shared this tip with me a few years ago and it’s pretty amazing! Let’s just say… she was in the habit of setting off her smoke detector when she cooked! On the upside, that’s how she discovered this trick for cleaning burnt pans without scrubbing! Therefore, she is the inspiration behind this,” Cleaning Baked-On Pans Without Scrubbing” post.
How to Clean Baked-On Pans Without Scrubbing Using Awesome Cleaner
Simply sprinkle a scoop of Awesome cleaner in the afflicted pan.
Fill with water and stir.
Let soak for at least 30 minutes.
Next, wipe out with a sponge, that’s it! As promised, no scrubbing! Occasionally, if something is extra baked on I’ll need to use the abrasive side of the sponge a few times to remove the excess residue but that is rare. Rinse well with hot water. Also, I suggest wearing gloves as this cleaner is harsh on hands.
Burnt on crock-pot/slow cooker sparkling clean!
Where can I get Awesome?
Here’s the good news: You can find Awesome at Dollar Tree! That’s right, it’s a buck! There’s no need to pay for name brand oxygen cleaner when this works so well! You can also order it online if you don’t have a Dollar Tree near you.
