Question Posted Thursday November 11 2004, 9:59 am
I made some muffins the other day, and sprayed some Pam on the muffin trays before putting the batter in. Whatever butter was not covered by muffin batter burned onto the pan. I've scrubbed it three times in a row, but it will not come off, yet it still feels slightly sticky. Does anyone have a trick to cleaning burned butter off of a pan?

I've always had good luck using baking soda to get off grease. [ dreamingkat's advice column | Ask dreamingkat A Question ]

soak it for an hour in hot, soapy water.
then scrub it off with a hard sponge and some soap. rinse that off, then use a scraper -(if it is still feeling sticky, buy a metal scraper at Wal*Mart) - and scrap off whatever is left on the pan. If it STILL feeling sticky, it's a cheap quality pan and you ought to buy anoter one that is non-stick and good quality. [ MedicatedSanity's advice column | Ask MedicatedSanity A Question ]

FernGully answered Thursday November 11 2004, 1:30 pm: Steel wool scrubber pads. Or... SOS I guess. But you definitely need to let it soak beforehand. Usually at work when we have some random food baked (like gravy, such a pain in the ass) right onto the pan or dish, I let them soak for a good long time in very hot soapy water. After they have been soaking for a bit (at least like, 15 minutes I'd say) I grab an SOS pad and scrap what I can off of it. Sometimes I need to take a butter knife (funny since its burnt butter) and loosen whatever is stuck on. I am usually able to pry the larger stuck food off with a butter knife and then use the steel wool (SOS) to get rid of the rest. Then of course I use a cloth to actually do the cleaning part of washing the dish because few people like to eat pieces of steel wool. [ FernGully's advice column | Ask FernGully A Question ]

If you don't have a teflon coated pan, you could use an SOS pad (steel wool pad with soap in it). [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]
