A few years ago, my mom gave me some baking sheets she'd been using to roast vegetables and make batch after batch of chocolate chip cookies. The sheet pans were still perfectly usable, and I had just assumed that the set-in grease stains and charred areas were the irreparable "patina" that comes along with bakeware that has a history. But recently, I decided to see if there was a way to bring them back to their original shine. After some research and testing, I found a cleaning hack that works— if you're willing to put in the elbow grease. Learn, just like I did, how to clean baking sheets thoroughly enough to make them look shiny and new.
