Got a silly adulting question: how in the heck do you get burned sticky grease off metal nonstick pans? In previous lives I don’t remember this ever being an issue for me. I guess I either had a dishwasher, had different cookware or just was cooking much less in general?

But every time I roast anything, the residue does not seem to fully come off the pan. I’ve googled this, I’ve tried baking soda, vinegar, soaked them in boiling water with dish soap, etc. What am I doing wrong? Do I just need to use foil forever? I can’t switch back to glass pans, with some health stuff they’re now too heavy to be practical.

Edit to say: thanks everyone!!

    Oven cleaner.

    If you want to dial it up: acetone and salt.

    If you want to go full send, and you’re sure your Teflon pans have no nicks in the surface: concentrated sulfuric acid.
