Best Way To Wash Old Baking Pans?

Hi everyone! I have some cupcake pans that I haven't used yet since going gluten-free, so I wanted to ask - what is the best way to clean them to get rid of any gluten residue? I cleaned my stainless steal pots with a lot of soap and hot water. Think that'd do the trick?

Thanks!

Yes, maybe so. Find a clear, clean surface. But, if they are scratched up and older, it might be a good opportunity to replace. As in any Teflon surface, scratched is not good, under any circumstances.

They're pretty new, actually. Maybe a year or year and a half old. I didn't use them much, so I'm hoping to save them.

I just realized, I have a wooden roller for cookies. Is that salvageable?

If they are stainless steel then scrub them until they are spotless. If they are non-stick wash them as best you can and then use paper liners. The non-stick coating can never be scrubbed 100% clean and free of gluten.

You can wrap the wooden roller in plastic but you should replace it.

Shoot. I looked it up, and I think it's nonstick. Looks like I'll be making another trip to Bed Bath and Beyond. :-/

Jessica, as long as all residue is cleaned, it should be ok. :)

Dawn Power Dissolver is great on baked-on residue. I was able to completely clean a glass baking dish that had had brown/burn residue spots on it. It isn't for scratched non-stick, but you shouldn't keep that anyway!

Good luck!

(Oh, I had a set of cupcake tins with little lines circling each hole for the cupcakes. I figured I could never clean those lines completely, so those went.)

Thanks for the input! I'll do my best with them. Goodness, it seems like I got rid of half my kitchen.

I replaced my 12-cup muffin tin with a stainless steel one. I use paper liners in it to avoid the sticking issue.

I do have a non-stick mini-muffin tin. It makes great one bite brownies! I have kept it and use paper liners. So far so good.

If the muffin pan has no visible scratches then a good wash plus tossing it in the oven when you run your self-cleaning function will get the invisible ones. Never tried it myself as I don't have a self-cleaning oven.... maybe the pan would melt....

Replace the rolling pin.

Baking soda is a wonderful cheap way to clean off residue, stains and baked on stuff as well. It has been a life saver for me. (something has to be cheap around here....)

My rule of thumb is that if I can get it clean, I keep it. If not...out it goes. I have richly rewarded myself with a bunch of new kitchen equipment as I figure I deserve it. :lol: And I didn't replace everything at once...just the things I use all the time. Heck, I'm still on a buying spree. LOL It's kind of fun to replace 50-year old stuff.

I've even used spray-on oven cleaner on glass. I'll have to look for Dawn Power Dissolver as I don't think I've ever seen it before.

I do use parchment paper on cookie sheets and use a lot of aluminum foil, too. I didn't replace my rolling pin nor have I used it but I think I could safely roll a pie crust between sheets of parchment. Actually I can't think of the last time I ever rolled out anything. My main baking quest is bread and I did buy new loaf pans.

Me too. Even on clean stuff just because it's so much easier to clean up.

Keep the pan and use paper muffin cups.

Anything to make life easier!!! And cookies seem to release better when baked on parchment paper. :)

This did the trick for me:

Put your pan on the heat with boiling water in it. Put some baking soda in your pan and let it cook for a while. The baking soda cleans the pans in their 'pores' so it should be clean.

But the best thing to do if you're still not sure is obviously buying yourself a new set of pans.

To roll pie crust, you can use 2 sheets of waxed paper and a drinking glass instead of a rolling pin.

You can put cast iron in the oven on the cleaning cycle, then cool, scrub it out with water and a scritchy- scrubbie, and re season it. One time I wasn't sure about the last thing cooked in it not being cross contaminated, so I boiled vinegar water in it and got a lot of grease to sop up out of the iron, then scrubbed it several times with baking soda.

DO NOT put teflon/non stick in a really hot oven, the fumes are poisonous, especially to pet birds.

This is a recent discovery for me.

The best way I have found to scrub off baked on goop without scratching (metal, glass, whatever) is using Magic Eraser pads. I thought they worked miracles in getting marks off walls and scuff marks off floors and shoes. Now this!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
