How to Remove Stains from Your Square Baking Pan?

[thehaleykitchen]

I was doing customer care calls this morning and I have a guest who ordered the square baking pan and made a berry crisp in it and it ended up with a stain! Any thoughts on how she could get that out?

Thanks,
Karen

LOL. I'm sorry- but why do we *people* seem to think that the tools/pans we get should look perfect after we USE them?? When you use a product, especially something like berries which DO stain products, that's what happens. I guess I don't get it.

EXACTLY what I thought. If you make berry crisp, expect stains. That's what berries do. Besides, it's a baking pan...really, who cares if it's stained? No one will see it but you - whenever anyone else sees it, it will most likely be covered with food.

Very true guys and she even said that it doesn't affect the baking aspect of it, just wondering if there was a way to get rid of it.

sometimes I've noticed that the stains go away as I use the particular items. So if the baking soda suggestion didn't work, just regular use might make it disappear. I wonder if our Stainless Steel cleaner would work?? Here is what the Product information for the Metal baking pan says:

# If rust occurs, use Pampered Chef® Stainless Cleaner or an aluminum polisher and cleanser which can be purchased at most grocery stores. Rinse and dry completely.
# A nonabrasive sponge, cloth, or kitchen brush may be used on exterior and interior surfaces.
# Do not use abrasive cleansers, such as steel wool, cleansers with chlorine bleach or oven cleaning solutions as this may permanently damage the surface and void the guarantee.

So if we can use it for rust, it might work on a stain too.

Hi Karen,

Thank you for reaching out about the stain on your guest's square baking pan. I'm sorry to hear that happened, but I'm happy to help find a solution. First, I would recommend trying to soak the pan in a mixture of warm water and dish soap for about 30 minutes. Then, use a non-abrasive sponge or cloth to gently scrub the stained area. If that doesn't work, a mixture of baking soda and water can also be effective in removing stains. Simply make a paste and apply it to the stained area, let it sit for a few minutes, and then scrub with a non-abrasive sponge. Lastly, for tougher stains, a small amount of white vinegar can also be added to the baking soda mixture. I hope these tips help in removing the stain from the pan. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Happy cooking!

Best,
