To clarify those stains are "burned" into the sheets. No scrubbing is going to get that off.

Looks like rust to me, but if they're stains I don't really know. Are they sticky at all?

>>3598712

This. For future reference, sponge + soap usually prevents these kinds of things.

>>3598715

No not really. How did it rust? Is it just poor quality sheets?

>>3598717

I cleaned it after every use, and they still turned gross.

>>3598718
Not poor quality, just poorly treated.

You should really at least layer it with some baking paper. I remember my brother ruining my trays by literally baking a whole chicken on it.
I hit him with the tray and padlocked my baking tools.

Yah actually my husband was using it to cook chicken tenderloins on sometimes. He put nothing down, I didnt think it would ruin it that quickly

>Non-stick baking sheets
>Better line it with something
Might as well buy regular ass baking sheets and a fuckton of parchment paper.

Which is better for baking, parchment or wax paper? Nevermind, thats a stupid question; its clearly parchment, right?

>>3598765
I'm not sure if you're stupid or not but clearly if you've read it properly, her husband was using it to back chicken tenderloins. Can you imagine all those fucking juices running everywhere and running the whole thing?

Some pans just have it bad.

It doesn't matter as long as you use a lining everytime

>>3598776
I've used pans worse than this in a professional kitchen, no dramas

>I'm not sure if you're stupid
I'm better than your average 20-something male cook, but I'm far from expert. Pizza is my expertise and I'm still learning new things all the time.

No, I dont work in pizza. I'm comp. sci.

directly after cooking put a dryer sheet and some water into the pan, leave for a couple hours and then scrub with dish soap and a sponge

It doesn't really matter if your pans look like shit, but I never expect non-stick anything to last longer than a year.

>>3598836

dryer sheet, as in for clothes? Pardon my ignorance but what does that accomplish

That shit can be removed. I used to work under two 20 year chefs at their local BBQ smokehouse and Upscale grill. Don't be a pussy and get in there with some elbow grease and fucking scrub.

Seriously. Pans have enough resistance to take a beating one way or another. As long as you don't use a steel wool and scrape the coating off you should be fine.

>>3598846

OP here, yes I have tried scrubbing REALLY hard. I let it soak over night, and went at it this morning.

>>3598848
What kind of soap are you using? Dawn isn't enough to bust grease of that coating off. If you're in love with said pans, go to your local mom and pop restaurant and ask if you can use a cup of their detergent. Give them a buck or two if they won't offer it for free.

>>3598708
Take some oven cleaner to those?

Don't worry bro, your sheets are cleaner than any pot/pan/sheet in my kitchen. In fact, if those were cast iron skillets, I would say you are well on your way to a good seasoning.

If it concerns you, I recommend two items:

Aluminum foil: heat reflective, it is good for meat or anything where you want maximum heat, like with chicken skins, wings, baked breaded fish, and you don't care if it sticks.

Parchment paper: does not reflect heat heat, nothing sticks to it, and like foil it keeps everything clean. I ALWAYS use parchment for cookies. You can literally pick up the paper and move cookies to a cool countertop to halt the baking, or use it like a funnel to instantly dump the cookies into a bowl... Or anything that you don't want to stick.

I use parchment instead of cooking spray, that shit always seemed weird to me for no good reason. They do the same thing, but parchment doesn't leave all your pans/sheets coated in greasy funk.

How much does a coookie sheet cost?

Pro-tip: buy an industrial gas mask, mix a bunch of caustic chemicals together, use your buffer attachment on your 1/2" drill with a grinding disk... Avoid getting lye, hydrochloric acid in your eyes with goggles... And save your 2$ cookie sheet from disposal. That's how John Wayne wouldve done it. Chuck Norris would throat punch some hobo, steal his bummin-around money (BAM)* and go buy himself a fresh cookie sheet.

* fuck Emeril, he stole that schtick from Cheech and Chong (as did I).
