One of the facebook miracle cures was to mix together baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to a paste, and let it sit for a while and the burned on grime is supposed to magically wipe away. Other people swear that Barkeepers friend, a mild cleanser, would do the same thing....so I decided to give that a shot too:
On the top half of the pan, I put a paste of Barkeepers Friend, on the bottom, I spread out the paste of baking soda and peroxide:
....and then I let it sit for 4 hours.....the result????
Well I guess that wasn't the miracle I was looking for. The only way I am going to get that pan clean is with a brillo pad. Sorry, but this was no miracle. Also, there's another one floating around where you clean your oven door glass with a mixture of Dawn dishwashing soap, vinegar and and baking soda. I tried that one too and it doesn't work. The only thing that will work is putting the oven in self cleaning mode.
I tried the dawn, hydrogen peroxide, and baking soda solution. I got good results, but I wasn't trying it on an oven door. I used it to clean areas in my kitchen that had built up grease and dirt like tile and cupboards above the cooking area. It did break it down and clean the tough build up.
