How To Clean a Burnt Cookie Sheet in a 3 Simple Steps
When I moved into my Jersey City apartment my Grandma gave me some of her cookie sheets as a gift. Two years and many batches of cookies later these sheets have seen better days!
I decided I should share my trick to get them looking brand new! (almost) Here's how to clean a burnt cookie sheet:

Step 1. Make the cleaning mixture
First I made my cleaning mixture that consists of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. I mix these two together until they have a paste-like consistency.
Step 2. Spread the mixture onto the burnt cookie sheet
Next, I spread the mixture over the entire sheet. Make sure not to use a heavy hand otherwise, it will never dry.
Step 3. Wait, wipe, and scrub
After letting it dry for about 3 hours I took a sponge and wiped it all off, scrubbing the really dirty parts.
After you give it a good rinse-off, it should be looking good as new!

I use parchment for everything. My pan itself is very dirty but who cares of you use parchment? (I do plan on cleaning it soon, so thanks for the tips)

This is an awesome tip, thank you. I could actually see when baked-on, burned food was lifted-- it was visible staining the top of the peroxide/soda mixture, and in some cases where the spatter was small, could see the entire spot lifted to the top. Much appreciated share!
