Burnt-on residue on baking sheets can be frustrating. Soak in hot, soapy water for 30 minutes, then scrub with a non-abrasive pad. For stubborn stains, make a paste of baking soda and water, apply, and let sit overnight. Use a plastic scraper for really stuck-on food. Avoid harsh abrasives that can scratch the surface. For prevention, line sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Regular maintenance keeps sheets looking new and prevents flavors from transferring between batches.
