Ok, so many of you know I like to cook. Now, We all have that one kitchen utensil that gets used constantly and is so versatile it can be used for virtually anything..mine is the cookie sheet. And Yeah, I had some pretty nasty ones. Over my 1000's of uses, they've become stained, scarred, and beaten up.
So I began looking for a way to deep clean them and make them look new again. Naturally, I took to the internet! And since I have been trying some of the 450 pinterest recipes I have pinned over the past two years, I decided to use pinterest to begin my endeavour. After typing in "how to clean my old cookie sheet" and getting 100's of pins to choose from, I began scrolling. Before long, I was seeing a pattern.
Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide.
Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide.
Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide.
The miracle cleaner! As someone put. .
"Take your old cookie sheets and give them new life!"
That looks great! Like brand new again!
Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, HEY! I HAVE THOSE THINGS! see?
There they are. All together now, "OOOOH! AHHHH!!"
The blog stated to begin by coating the cookie sheets with baking soda. Ok, easy enough.
"Next, pour in the hydrogen peroxide and using a scrub brush, mix it together until it is like a paste" .....Ok, I can handle that.
"Now pour another coat of baking soda over the top and let it sit for 4-5 hours" ....fair enough. I'm getting ready to go to work for the day, I'll let it sit all morning and check it when I come home for lunch.
At lunch, it was...fine I guess. It looked the same as it did when I left it. Ok, so its been 4.5 hours. What now?
"When you are ready to start scrubbing, use a sheet of aluminum foil and make it into a ball. Then take the ball and use it like you would use steel wool to scrub the surface of the cookie sheet."
The moment of truth! So I start scrubbing. And keep scrubbing.
"Scrub the surface and watch your stains disappear!"
Ugh. Ok maybe I need some more elbow grease. I scrub for nearly 2 minutes and..still stained. It did, however, take off some of the oily spots that didn't come off with normal washing...but
Here she is. Better, for sure. But soooo not this.
I even tried a second time, using nearly a whole box of baking soda. Still stained.
That being said, I suppose this round goes to Pinterest.
That, or all of you 2,000 people are LYING!
...or have pinned it and never actually tried it. Either way, my cookie sheets are still stained and I am out a $.99 box of baking soda.
