How to Clean Nonstick Baking Sheets?

1. Hand Wash with Mild Soap: For routine cleaning, wash the nonstick baking sheet by hand with warm water and a mild dish soap. Avoid using harsh scrubbing pads or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the nonstick coating.

2. Baking Soda Paste for Stubborn Stains: If there are stubborn grease or food stains, make a paste using baking soda and a little water. Apply the paste to the stains and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. Gently scrub with a soft sponge or cloth, then rinse.

3. Vinegar Soak: For tough, stuck-on food, you can soak the baking sheet in a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water for 10-15 minutes. After soaking, use a non-abrasive scrubber to gently clean the surface.

4. Lemon and Baking Soda: Another natural cleaning option is to sprinkle baking soda over the baking sheet and then add a few drops of lemon juice. Let it sit for a few minutes before wiping it off with a damp cloth or sponge.

5. Avoid Using Metal Utensils: To preserve the nonstick surface, always use silicone, plastic, or wooden utensils when working with your baking sheet.

6.Prevent Stains with Parchment Paper: To avoid heavy cleaning, line your nonstick baking sheet with parchment paper when baking. This will help prevent food from sticking and make cleanup easier.

These hacks help maintain the nonstick coating and extend the life of the baking sheet.
