Geoid Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I have a baking tray, that was supposedly non stick, has a load of food etc stuck to it. So I have 2 questions: How do I get the stuck on food off? How (if possible) do I make it non stick again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey Lucy Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I have a baking tray, that was supposedly non stick, has a load of food etc stuck to it. So I have 2 questions: How do I get the stuck on food off? Soak it in warm water and Fairy Liquid How (if possible) do I make it non stick again? I don't think you can. Sorry. Sorry I can't be more help. Don't use anything metallic to s"Ooops, word censored!" off the burnt food, let it soak, use a cloth or plastic brush to loosen whatever will come off then soak and repeat as necessary. If you've removed the non-stick coating, you're stuck I think. If it just needs some tlc try oiling it before you use it next time. You may have to oil it each time you use it on future.

Geoid Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 It is currently soaking in warm water and fairy liquid, thanks for the tip. The non stick coating is all intact, it just doesn't work (it used to when I first used it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizzyMomma Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 ..oh gosh there was something on one of the Jamie Oliver cooking shows I was watching this afternoon about coating an ordinary pan in order to make it non-stick! Think it was basically to coat the pan with oil and then sprinkle flour on top of it, remember thinking what a good tip it was at the time, but obvs it hasn't sunk into the old memory sponge correctly!!

Mum Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Burnt on food can be lifted by soaking in a solution of washing powder (yes, laundry stuff!) and hot water. BM - in the "old days" of home economic classes, we would use the oil+light dusting of flour on our cake tins before we filled with the mix (ensuring excess flour is tipped out first); something I taught my lads to do when baking as well So, your memory "sponge" is spot on ... when making sponge cakes Fred - have you had success?

bluekarin Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I don't know if seasoning it like you do with cast iron frying pans would work, You heat the tray in the oven with a good coating of an oil that has a high smoking point. Once cooled, wipe with a kitchen towel and it should be better. After a quick Google, you can get a spray to repair non stick coating, so that might be worth a go.

quickcluck Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I would do the same. Coat it with a little oil and wipe it off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Some non-stick coating don't last very long, in general buy the best quality that you can afford, I tend to use oil and flour if I am doing anything very sugary or anything with an egg wash because these things tend to stick the most and in some cases I will use baking parchment (not greaseproof) or re-useable liners like Bake-o-glide.

Cinnamon Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 If you are looking to replace it,then the Pyrex non stick range is really brilliant,& worth every penny. It is silicone based,the non stick coating,& is the only true non stick I have ever come across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 I have tried the soaking overnight, didn't work, the burnt food etc wont come off no matter how hard I scrub. So, I think I will have to get a new one. Cinnamon, is this what you mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Those Pyrex ones are good Fred and you can usually get them cheaply in T K Maxx if there's one near you. After plenty of sticky mistakes in the past, I use the Lakeland non-stick liners - absolutely brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweety Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Bake o glide liners are brilliant, and can be used again and again. I am still using some I got 5 years ago, and they are as good as new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I can recommend the Pyrex tins too, I have large loaf tins which I bake our bread in and I never even have to wash them the bread just slips out without any greasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I have had problems with things that should be non stick not being non stick and also the coating coming off on food. To remove things stuck to a pan I was advised to use non bio washing powder and boiling water, then pop it in a warm oven until things loosen. The non stick can get damaged if the pan is not properly cleaned before being used in the oven again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I still always oil my non-stick pans and the silicone ones! For cakes I do the grease and flour trick - always works for me too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
